AIBU to think that the last minute on a washing machine cycle

[PseudoBadger]

Is longer than the very end of time itself? 0:01

YANBU

YANBU - it's five minutes on my machine - I timed it!

YADNBU
Especially when the wash has inexplicably taken 10 minutes longer than ever before and you should have left the house 9 minutes ago

And wtf is it doing in that time? Summoning up the courage to unlock the door?

I thought it was just my machine that couldn't distinguish between a minute and what feels like an hour!!

It's forever, particularly if you have the buzzer on. Mine starts beeping before its finished spinning, and you can't open the door then until it's finished. It takes at least an hour, I'm sure of it.

YANBU

And once it has obviously finished the amount of time it takes for the door to be unlocked is inversely proportional to the amount of times you tug on it.

YANBU

Lying bastard machine.

Mine doesn't actually have a timer, but the wait between it finishing and unlocking is interminable.

YANBU

Yes so true

YANBU
last minute on my mine varies between 5/10 minutes depending on, how much it wants to piss me off.

Mine is very random, I've seen it drop several minutes and then that last minute has lasted an actual minute. I thought it was the end of days.

The tumble drier and dishwasher don't pull this shit

It is the same with running machine time.

Except there every minute is really 5 minutes regular time.

They don't PB, however the dishwasher is a lazy fecker whose cycle seems to get shorter and shorter. Half the stuff comes out dirty.

At least the washing machine shows some commitment to the cleanliness of the clothes....

My tumble dryer is the other way around.

I put it on for 2.20hrs, go back to it an hour and a half later and it's telling me its finished??? And the washing is never fucking dry

That last minute is a complete waste of time. Plus it's way longer than any other minute. I hate that last minute with a passion that's only shared with my hatred of getting lasagne sheets to fit in any container known to man.

And while I'm ranting - one of my washing cycles (the anti allergen one with steam and shit) can take over 3 hours with a full load of sheets. Nothing in the world needs to be washed for 3 hours. Even if I indulged in a spot of light mass murder, I bet I still wouldn't need 3 hours to remove the evidence.

My washing machine goes back in time

It tells me it has 3 minutes left, I go upstairs, come down and it has 5 minutes left, I mean wtf is it a tardis in disguise or something?!

Oh and it also eats socks, bastard machine

yanbu
and then it has the cheek to lock the door for a further 2 min that feels like 2 hours.

Yy Hassled my 'white cotton' cycle has to be put on at 6am if I want to have it dried before dinner time.

Too true Hassled

My general cottons wash is 2.5 hours . So I use the quick wash at half an hour.

However I have a house full of teenagers and the general cottons wash is the default setting. I've lost count of the times I've gone to put a wash on to find a lonely pair of jeans just getting soaped up with 2 hours 15 minutes to go....

Why is it though???

My DP had a part of his brain replaced with a washing machine timer . "leaving the pub in a minute dear...."

Must be like a pc download where it drops from 45 minutes to 5 minutes in 2 minutes then starts to go up again. Finally the last minute lasts 10 minutes.
