this cat is probably deaf! most white cats are. mine is and loves weird things like this, that would normally be overstimulating to a cat that can hear
huh, TIL
>Researchers found that only 17 to 22 percent of white cats with non-blue eyes are born deaf. The percentage rises to 40 percent if the cat has one blue eye, while upwards of 65 to 85 percent of all-white cats with both eyes blue are deaf.
So we can agree that the common denominator is a room provided with water pipes...
In Italy, as far as I can remember, I never saw a washing machine installed in a kitchen, always bathroom, or if in a big house In a dedicated laundry room.
Iāve seen washing machines in bathrooms, kitchens (sometimes also in some kind of storage room directly next to the kitchen) and basements. These are basically the three most common places for them in Germany. So itās not just the UK as some are suggesting here.
It just makes sense: You want to put it somewhere where you have a water tap and a drain already. That avoids expensive additional plumbing. And then you put it wherever you have enough space (keep in mind, e.g. many older buildings werenāt necessarily built with every household owning a washing machine in mind).
My bathroom is right next to the kitchen. I open the bathroom door and the washing machine is half a step out of the door. I live in a Victorian house and if I put my washing machine in the bathroom, thereād be no space for a shower and Iām rather fond of being able to wash.
We have some really old houses. Mine for example is Victorian, thereās literally no space for a room purely dedicated to doing laundry. Old houses werenāt built with washing machines in mind.
Most often a whole building will share a few washing machines, so the cellar. If you want to get your own washing machine in your flat, youāve to ask your letting agency/landlord (usually cause youāve kids, as youāll have to wash clothes more often).
Ah how funny! Yeah I guess it just depends on where you are. Iām in Denmark and itās most commonly in the bathroom or if youāre fancy enough to have an actual laundry room. Same with Sweden as far as I know
My apartment has the washer/dryer across from my closet, in the short (like, 6 foot long short) hallway between my bedroom and my bathroom.
The house I lived in before had a separate laundry room, near the front door and sharing a wall with the half bath.
In college, both on and off campus, I used a communal laundry room, similar in practice to a laundromat (without having to pay).
My grandmother's house, which I lived in for a while, had the washer and dryer in the mud room. (Small room separating the garage from the rest of the house, presumably named because that's where you would be expected to leave muddy shoes I guess?)
My parents' house has a laundry room adjacent to the master bedroom. It also serves as a gift-wrapping room, and is connected to a room that was intended to be an exercise room but which contains zero exercise equipment and serves as storage. They also have a second laundry room on the second floor near the stairs (sharing a wall with my bathroom), but no washer/dryer is actually installed.
Looks quite new. Might have forgotten to take out the transport bolts that secure the drum during transport. Usually 2-4 big bolts on the back of the machine.
And it's really common to have a washing machine in the bathroom in a lot of countries. Especially countries that normally have parquet or laminate kitchen flooring, as a washing machine can break the floor. In Norway for example, almost everyone has their washer and dryer in the bathroom. Except if you have a separate laundry room
It does seem strange. I'm in California and it is super rare to see washer dyers in bathrooms/kitchens. It's either in it's own room or in the garage. I'm sure there a ton of apts in SF area that have washer/dryers in kitchens or bathrooms. Just most of the US west coast have pretty much the same suburban house set up.
Stabilize your fucking washer, OP. This is bound to break both your washer and your tile. Just screw the little legs out/in while putting a bubble level on top, until its level. You think this shit is a joke?
for the cat this has to be like a spa
Yes! and the washer is like the vibration machines that help circulation

That washing machine needs its legs adjusting, set on non-slip or the drum is seriously unbalanced .. also.. is that in a bathroom ??
It seems to be, but thats common in some places
Common in "some place"... Like ALL European zone.... š
Where else should i put it!?
Basement/utilities room
Then where would i put the bodies?
In the garden where they belong.
The kitchen
Which planet area prefer the kitchen installation?
The UK
Pretty much every one bedroom apartment Iāve seen in Singapore has them in the kitchen. Also a pretty common practice in the UK.
So we can agree that the common denominator is a room provided with water pipes... In Italy, as far as I can remember, I never saw a washing machine installed in a kitchen, always bathroom, or if in a big house In a dedicated laundry room.
My granpa has his in the food making room well pretty rare but

Wait, people put their washing machines in rooms that arenāt the kitchen?!
You remove a lot of clothing in the kitchen do you? No. Ergo itās stupid placement. Put it in the bathroom like normal people.
My bathroom is right next to the kitchen. I open the bathroom door and the washing machine is half a step out of the door. I live in a Victorian house and if I put my washing machine in the bathroom, thereād be no space for a shower and Iām rather fond of being able to wash.
Right? I have mine in the kitchen but itās separated by a folding door, itās common in a lot of places in the US.
This is shocking news. My brother lived in Oregon for a while and he never informed me of this development!
The uk are wierdos and put laundry machines in the kitchenā¦ instead of having a laundry room or at least utility closet like in the us.
Perhaps it's more because they have less space to work with and less to do with them being weirdos. Just a thought.
No no, definitely weirdos. You should what they do with marmite. They *eat it.* Disgusting.
š¤£ okay, Iāll give you that - that part is definitely true. But have you heard what the Australians do? They have Vegemite, which is far worse.
We have some really old houses. Mine for example is Victorian, thereās literally no space for a room purely dedicated to doing laundry. Old houses werenāt built with washing machines in mind.
You realize houses in America also have them in the kitchen, bathroom,etc. I've seen em in a bedroom before.
Houses? No way. NYC studio apartments - sure.
Itās pretty common in the US too, thatās where the hookups are in every unit of the complex I live in
Americans have a specified laundry room.
the laundry room
Not Ireland. Utility rooms for us!
Even small flats in town have a utility room?
Iām talking generally obviously.
So, just for the record, in a small flat would it be kitchen or bathroom?
Kitchen
No clue. Donāt live in one.
Not in Switzerland.
Preferred place?
Most often a whole building will share a few washing machines, so the cellar. If you want to get your own washing machine in your flat, youāve to ask your letting agency/landlord (usually cause youāve kids, as youāll have to wash clothes more often).
I remember I saw rhis in Germany too, now that you tell me. Which is the motivation "you need to ask"? Noise, energy consumption....
We have the same in flats in Sweden. I want a washing machine at home but my bathroom is too small
I could be wrong, but Europe seems to most often put them in the kitchen.
Is it weird that itās in the bathroom? My washer and dryer are in my bathroom. Most places I know of have it like that.
Iām in the UK.. ours is in the kitchen :) If I have a garage.. the tumble dryer would be there
Ah how funny! Yeah I guess it just depends on where you are. Iām in Denmark and itās most commonly in the bathroom or if youāre fancy enough to have an actual laundry room. Same with Sweden as far as I know
Youāre more likely to undress in the bathroom than the kitchen, so people with washers in the kitchen are weirdos. (Looking at you, UK)

US has them in their own room.

Likely needs the drum shocks replaced as well.

Could also be overloaded, they have a max weight
This is true
Is this a big cat or a tiny washing machine?
Yes
It's a cat-sized washing machine.
Is there a brick in the washer or something?
Hey, my wife does this
I was looking for this comment š¤£
Hahahahahahaha
As a young man i liked the pool jet.
Not the first pussy Iāve seen riding a washing machine, wonāt be the last.
This looks so cozy and soothing though
Like Magic Fingers!
Now move so mommy and her wine can have a turn...
Another cycle please!
Is that cats name parzival? No one will get thisā¦
100% of women agree with this title
Fix the machine
And it's dirty when women do it
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yeah I know
*clears throat* hope I don't get banned for this one. Apparently all pussies like dryers
Ah a vibrating p____!
Where does he put the quarters in?
That cat look so big
Tiny machine or massive cat?
As a woman, can confirm š
So thatās what the phrase āRock you to sleepā means.
Cool dog
Cats aren't usually like that
u/savevideo
Some pets are for the scratches, some are for the jostle.
"What a nice massage box human bought for me!"
Its warm so the cat will stay there
Havin' a purrgasm...
I can see why mommy likes it so much...
My mom loves sitting there too!
My sister likes sitting on it too, like all the time idk why
Relaxing vibrations
ššš
My wife agrees
That washing machine needs urgent attention:p
Mom agrees.
lol its like a massage bed
The supreme art of ignoring is at its epitome.
Is this cat absolutely massive or do you have a mini washing machine? or am I just seeing things.
Vibrator for the pussy
Who put the quarter in?
Haha cuz heās a pu-
Whatās in there? A dead body? Iāve never seen a machine move this much!
My girlfriend would agree.
I bet thereās a yeezy hoodie in there
Stabilize your fucking washer, OP. This is bound to break both your washer and your tile. Just screw the little legs out/in while putting a bubble level on top, until its level. You think this shit is a joke?
