Room with a view

In case anybody is interested, my rooms in Toronto looked a bit like this: -







I was going to take a picture of my washing machine and tumble dryer to assist with this story, but forgot, so you'll just have to use your imagination.

Now, the setup was that the top loading washer was below the front loading dryer. I wasn't exactly sure what to do, so I asked Albert and he said to basically just stick the washing in and pour the washing powder over it, and he also told me the settings and buttons to press, which seems easy enough.....except I didn't actually know which one was the washer (having never seen a top loading washing machine before, I think you can see where this is going) so I put the clothes in, poured the powder over the clothes, closed the door, pushed the buttons and then looked down to where the washing machine had started......all well and good you might say, except my clothes were actually in the dryer. So, this basically left me with washing powder all over the dryer (and floor) once I got the clothes out, but I never did it again, so I did learn something, stupid top loading washine machines.
