I always check stuff like this with new appliances, but I guess there's some people who don't....

Hahaha. Reminds me of one of my own similar fails.

I bought this mop... I'm tallish at 6'. For at least a year I used this mop, cursing it everytime for being short. "What is this? A mop for dwarves?!" literally gave myself a bad back using it.

Until one day, something clicked, and I noticed I could extend it. Fuck my life.

My friends have the same mop as me. My mind was blown when she unscrewed the cap at the end, pulled the mop head off, and threw it in the washer versus how I'd been painstakingly washing in the bathtub and feeling like an idiot because no matter how hard I wrung it out I couldn't get it to dry

My world was changed that day as well

That's amazing, thanks for sharing your fail as I feel slightly less dumb now.

One of the best I've seen... was working on a track with a one of my writing partners, he's messaging his gf who's asking where his washing machine powder is, he replies, but the response makes him sigh deeply. Asked him what's wrong, he shows me the message, it's from his gf and says "babe... Do you realise you're washing your clothes with dishwasher tablets?" 😂

Dude just likes his clothes to sparkle, don't shame him.
