Constant lies and I've had enough

[Vodkamartini3olives]

It's my washing machine. I'm waiting for a spin to finish so I can hang Some washing before I head out. It says 1minute but I've been stood here waiting for at least 3 it's still going. If it's going to be 5 mins just say that so I can go do something else. Why lie????.

Mine does that, the gaslighting bastard!!!

It's a cunt. Mine does this.

Sit it on the naughty step . . . .

Well the 1min lasted 4.57. I've lost all trust.

Once the trust is gone it's gone.
Don't want to be smuggy mcsmugface but mine is pretty honest and true.

Mine lies in the opposite way, it'll say 10 minutes and finish in 3. Lying bastard.

Mine does this. I usually wash everything on the same cycle. Sometimes it'll inform me that there's only 2 minutes left and stick to it, other times it'll tell me there's 2 minutes to go but then decides it's going to take a 20 minute rest first! Which then makes me panic that it's actually broken down. When it's satisfied that it's stressed me out enough it then starts up again.
It's a right bastard.

You can't change the behaviour of others but you can change your reaction to it.

I now accept that my washer will lie to me every step of the way, from how long the whole wash will be at the start, to how long it has left at the end. I close the utility room door and don't look again until there is silence. I am much happier if I don't entertain the lies.

They were designed by men, no concept of the importance of those minutes! Mine does the same lies all the time put a wash on at 6.55 it’s an hour and the bloody thing wasn’t finished at 8.04. I needed to leave at 8.04.

Mine too! A 12 minute spin doesn't take 12 minutes. I need to time it now. Can't unsee this thread

Love this post and the replies....needed a laugh 😂 thanks guys

Evil gits. Mine keeps me waiting, I finally open the door and the snotting pig hasn't spun the load grrr. I've told it that anymore if his tricks and he will only be fed economy brand detergents.

Mine went from 1 min to 2 today in front of my very own eyes!!

Yes. They really gaslight, don’t they?!

And why do they need to do that pointless moving from left to right for the last 2 minutes of the cycle - just stop!

Thank you all for the support. I feel so heard.

Mine beeps at the end of the cycle non stop. It is persecution. I heard you the first time ok? No need for a further 6 series of intimidating beeps. Yes, I could open your door straight away but I am watching TV ok, your highness?

Mine sings too at the end but the singing stops after a few minutes. And it lies as well. Especially with the two minutes at the end of the spin cycle which is usually 5 minutes!

Are you guilty of lying to your machine?

Loading 8kg when you know it’s capacity is only 6.5.

Washing delicates on the everyday cycle?

Maybe it’s retaliating and the entire relationship has broken down,

That ‘1 minute’ is clearly in washing-machine time same unit as dog years.
Truly timeless.

I hope there isn't a drip (dry) feed where OP admits the washer found out she's been rinsing her tights through in the bathroom sink.

When my DH says ‘I’ll just be a minute’ I ask him if he actually really means a minute or is it a washing machine minute…it’s usually the latter!

Same here! But I try not to get too cross in my head incase it decides to break to spite me for rushing it 🤣

This!
Has it been crying out for a Calgon wash and been ignored?
Can you truthfully say you treat your machine how you expect it to treat you 🤔🤣
