Bearman Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 According to my wife it has been a superstition for hundreds of years that you cannot use a dishwasher or washing machine on New Years Day.

JohnM Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 We have a hi-tech dishwasher. It has taken the combined intellect of the finest engineering brains in Germany to create a very quiet dishwasher that uses hardly any water, has an innovative drying function and is connected to our router for remote operation. Why then, does my wife think she knows better than the designers and manufacturers how to load it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
