American Home Appliances and I

White, Black, or Stainless Silver.

Yes, the colours you can choose at the home appliances department of a retail store.

Surprisingly, only 3 colours are available to buy.

I want a beige fridge. I want a light purple washer. I want a light green dryer.

No.

There are only 3 colours available.

American home appliances manufacturers somewhat keep selling the same things since 1970?
It was just my guess, but I am sure some of the designs and looks haven't changed for long time.

We have a big washing machine and a dryer.

The bigger, the tougher and more durable. I had such a misconception.

I simply overloaded and I made a washing machine stop working.

I got panicked! I sweated and run up and down the stairs.

"Sorry, sorry, I overloaded. Please, please get back to spin..."

I unplugged and plugged it back again. Not working. There is no comprehensive panic button or reset button in the interface. It's just a BAD DESIGN!

"No, I won't blame you (a washing machine). It was my mistake that I overloaded. Please, please get back to spin."

My friend was on the phone. He told me to unplug it again and give the washer 5 to 10 minutes rest.

I did so.

After 10 minutes, I plug it again.

IT STARTED TO SPIN!

"Thank you, thank you, washing machine."

I liked Sonic Youth's washing machine T-shirt, but I don't like any non-comprehensive designs of American home appliances.

I am very sorry to overload you, though.

Seriously the cutest post ever! :D Don't worry about the big oversized american machines; they sometimes do break down but it's all fixable ^.^
