These household appliances are so bullying and threatening…my dishwasher pings and displays “please shut off” a few times then changes to “shut off!”…I mean, who does it think is the boss in our house? Doesn’t it know that the cat can’t read?
And don’t get me started on satnav’s – t’other half bought me one and it was quite menacing, a very authoritarian male voice (and no, it couldn’t be changed, it was quite basic) and I found myself telling it to shut up, I knew where I was going! The satnav that comes in his car is quite different, it actually says please!
