People are comparing irritating domestic appliances after Lauren Laverne said this
Lauren Laverne’s had just about as much of her dishwasher as she can handle right now.
Needy dishwashers that beep every 10 minutes after they’re finished are the worst*. *”the worst” excludes current sociopolitical realities

And it turns out she’s not alone. Us too, frankly. And here are our favourite responses online.

God yes. Our last place had that AND a microwave AND a washing machine that all did it

My first question when buying a new dishwasher was “how much does it beep, is it just the once?” Bloody old one always used to wake me up as I was nodding off! And don’t get me started on the fridge door!

You think that's bad? Our microwave beeps continuously after finishing *until you go over and stop it yourself*

Your next one will demand you select 'agree' to 103 pages of terms and conditions every time you turn it on. Relish your beeps while ye may.

Our washing machine does this. It really cuts into my laziness.

My sister has a washer that sings a song when it's done. IT HAS 2 VERSES

Omg kill it with fire

This person had a similar problem but for different reasons …
Your dishwasher beeps every ten minutes? Mine rings a bell and begs for me to unlock the kitchen door and let them back into their bedroom
