Brun,
You've got nothing else to do and so you go to the store just to see what's new in the laundry aisle. Who cares about veggies and fruit!

...
When you're in a laundromat and just can't stop slamming your head against the wall.
When you just know 3 rinses aren't enough.
When you know what the washer will do - before IT SELF does.
When you take 15 minutes thinking about a better arrangement of the dishes in a DW.
When you look at a washer in a store and the sales person comes up, asking "Can I help you?" and you just want to say "I think with me it rather should be the other way around!"
When you just can't go without the smell of laundry right from the dryer.
When you know basicly any washer on the market.
And, finaly, if you are proud to have AW.org as shortcut in your browser.

When you do everything you possibly can do--and then some--to avoid Walmart, and yet stop by for a quick visit just to see the new Persil detergent line.
I have a few:
1. You are excited for a trip to the laundromat.
2. You can't walk through a Sears, Best Buy or Menard's without looking @ the appliances.
3. You had a MAJOR crush on the Ecolab rep who services your work's dishmachine. (HOLY S#!T could she make a lab coat look sexy.)
4. When you check in to a hotel the first thing you want to find out is what type of washer-extractors they have and do they use Ecolab.
5. When eating in a restaurant you try to find out what kind of dishmachine they have.
6. You have an appliance store looking for old machines for you.
I am guilty of all of these. Nice thread!

A major highlight of summer is drying clothes outside.

You know you're a member of AW when half of your Facebook chats and text message thread routinely include the words Maytag, Whirlpool, JetClean, Center Dial, A806, Kitchen Aid, and Speed Queen.

1. You remember more about your grandmother's washers than your mother does.
2. You've picked out washers and dryers for multiple scenarios for your new condo.... and the building hasn't changed its rules and you haven't bought the condo yet.
3. You see videos of people using unauthorised agitator attachments and you find yourself more concerned with washer make/model, spin speed, stability, etc. than you are with any action that might be going on.

[this post was last edited: 9/3/2015-03:57]When you get very excited when a AW member gets a new or vintage machine and you can't wait to see the pictures or videos.
Always checking in to see what's up with fellow members.
I like it here. And, so far, I like all the members even when I don't see eye to eye on a certain opinion or ideas, I still respect them.
You also know your an AW member when you can remember distinctly the smell of certain soaps and detergents when you were a kid, and for me that's going back to the early 60's. Awww, wisdom and experience.

When you have a Studio Apartment and have 2 dishwashers in your galley kitchen, 5 washers in which 3 are hooked up, 6 total dishwashers, 3 ranges, a full storage area in your residence with appliances, a Storage Unit that is full of ranges, dishwashers and washers and you're still cruising Craig's List for more vintage appliances.
Not to mention Vintage Small Appliances as well of course.

When you know what a "Wash-In" is and if you've been to one. Bonus points if you have hosted one before.
Great Thread, Frig!
My contenders
When you check back at AW.org at least twice every hour when you're bored (including forums you don't frequent, or topics you avoid with a 10ft pole)
You start reading obscurely-titled threads you never thought could be interesting, that are actually chock full of opinions.
As soon as someone starts clearing the table, you make a b-line for the kitchen to make doubly-sure they don't start pre-rinsing. If they do, you lecture them. The same goes for cold-water laundering.

1. When you know the names of and have met the other two Lefever brothers.
2. When a "wet dream" is a dream about washing dishes or clothes in dream machines that may or may not actually exist or have ever existed, often machines that you want to find for your own.

OR.... You know you're a member of AW when....
You have met three of the Lefever brothers (John, Jeff & Phil) AND their mother!
(I believe there are 5 brothers all together)

Indeed Kevin, the number of the counting shall be five (I have met them all too!)
You may be a member of AW:
if you have ever placed a GoPro camera inside a running appliance
if you have ever measured the PH of wash water at various points of the cycle
if you have ever graphed the temperature profile of a full dryer cycle
