Why do appliances have to be so noisy. A friend of mine's washer does a whole song whenever it does anything. We'll be playing a game and I'll hear it on his end, chiming away, and he's just ignores it. I don't know how.
Like, I don't even understand the point: if you're going to jump up and take care of it immediately, you'd probably notice when it's done, if not, then you'll get to it when you get to it.
Same with microwaves: if you can't keep it on your mind for 90 seconds, it can sit in there and chill for ten minutes until you remember you had food nuking.
I've had an excellent pedestal fan for 10 years for my bedroom. It's brilliant and does everything you want, but it also has a blazing bright light-up screen to you show it's on. But I know it's on as it's blowing air, I know it's on oscillate as it's turning - why does it need to show a neon sign in my bedroom at night with no way to turn it off? Mental.
Oof, that sounds like an insta-return for me.
