Leaving the tumble dryer/washing machine on when going out

I came home the other day to find that DH had left the tumbler/washing machine on and gone out for 30 minutes or so.
It makes me so mad that the house could have burned down due to his laziness, yet I get looked at like I’m nagging.
And we both know a couple whose garage went on fire due to the tumbler being left on.

YABU - stop nagging and be grateful he did some washing.
YANBU - everyone knows you don’t go out and leave the tumble dryer on.

I do this tbh. I'd struggle to get through the washing and drying if I stayed at hom for every wash

YANBU. Tumble driers are well documented as one of the leading causes of house fires

I would never get our washing done if I only used the washing machine when we were at home and awake.

YANBU.

But I will leave the dishwasher and washing machine on, probably shouldn't do that either I guess?
