For example, I’m incredibly confused about how you’re supposedly to measure liquid laundry detergent with the cap. At least the kind that I have sits on it’s side, so if you measure it with the cap it just leaks everywhere and makes a mess.

Or at my parents house they have a bag of captain crunch berries that has a new design, where instead of zipping along the top of the bag like normal, it has a zipper in the front slightly beneath the top. That way when you poor it you can’t see what you’re doing cuz the bag is in the way. Like what the heck who’s idea was that?

    Front-load washers should have a brake for the drum that prevents it from rotating while digging out clothes. Last thing I want is twisted/sprained wrist while peeling towels off the walls of the drum.

        Towels (or other clothes) can stick to the drum and as you pull them out, the balance of the drum shifts and can cause it to spin. If you are grabbing something in a fuller load, your hand/wrist can become entangled and rotate with the drum.

          Yer fair enough, can’t say I’ve ever had that experience, mine moves around but like maybe a 1/4 rotation at about a snails pace

          I think mine might have that brake? It’s never spun while off even removing sheets, or several kilos of clothes.

          It might not, but it doesn’t spin. Asko is the brand I have. It doesn’t understand the concept of time though. Just be ause the timer should go 17, 16, 15, 14 doesn’t mean it won’t end up going 17, 13, 29, 3, 26, off.
