on a lighter note

so i am reading the booklet for my new washing machine.It has an option for pet hair removal -I like that.

Below this was a WARNING!! NEVER WASH YOUR PETS IN THE WASHING MACHINE,

ARE THEY SERIOUS?AS IF?

[xLaydieeeBx]

Lol - I know, it makes me wonder if they have had experience of others washing their pets in them. =l x

[Bambamsnan]

Well so people might not read leaflet but yes to even have to make that a warning says it all ☺

[peck]

Sometimes I just don't get it!! Peck.🐤

[bluebell99]

It is like when you buy a bag of peanuts, "Warning this package may contain nuts" Why on earth would I buy it if it didn't?

[Crusee]

What's the betting somebody has tried to do this..........?

I accidently tumble dried my cat once. Lucky for him he pooed himself with fear and i only found him in time because i was searching for the smell.

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

He didn't some out soft and fluffy then

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

No poor Rimmer came out covered in poo and had to have a bath in the wash basin.

That put him in a bad mood both my son and dad kept coppin out for no reason whatsoever.

I was glad that i was his favourite.

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Thanks for that giggle, poor Rimmer! I hope your son and Dad didn't get too many scratches

I had a cat who would viciously attack the man we got him off. Would be fine with any one else. I think he blamed him for his name choice. We called him Sukie as the man we got him from told me he was a female, my Mum didn't allow me to have a tomcat so maybe the man was being sneaky

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

No he came out covered in poo and poor Rimmer then had to have a bath. He was not amused and did what he always did when he had on him. Attacked my son, over then next few days he was attacked many times and started peeping around corners in case Rims was lying in ambush.

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

The last answer i gave vanished and so i replied again and lo and behold the first one appeared. Just like that.

Yeah! It is a bit mind blowing, but unfortunately it's standard procedure x

Rules are rules I'm afraid x

My iron instruction booklet warned not to iron clothes whilst wearing them xx

[Hidden in reply to Lou1062]

I'm sorry as a responsible adult I don't need that sort of advice, I can quite capably iron a skirt while I wear it......need must sometimes

[Lou1062 in reply to Hidden]

I'm chuckling away here at the thought of it xxx

[Hidden in reply to Lou1062]

I seriously have had to iron a skirt whilst wearing it, twist and turn flatten out and your done.

Better one to give you a chuckle! Years ago a lot younger and slimmer I was wearing a very fashionable pencil skirt to work. I wondered why the men kept walking passed my office window (floor to ceiling) staring instead me smiling widely. My boss got curious too and went to have a look. Came in and told me my zip was down It had broken and was a long side zip so my skimpy underwear was on show!! I had to sew myself into the skirt. Hubby has fun getting me out if it when I got home

Hi, wife found one I our Hoover manual, that said, "not to be used on dogs ", presume it's ok on cats then ! Pity, we only have dogs !

[TheAuthor]

That is hysterical! Who comes up with these ideas? When we moved to the bungalow we bought a new suite with a chaise lounge, and on the card with it said ''Not for human consumption!'' We laughed for hours

[Hidden in reply to TheAuthor]

Is this health and safety gone mad?i shall have to read all my instruction manuals!!

[snappy1]

After discussing all of this with the cat, he looked at me like I'm mad, and no he doesn't want to go in the washing machine thank you very much. we did have one cat who liked to sleep in the tumble drier, she loved her mummy so much as soon as she saw or heard me she would come to me, so she never got tumbled. Dogs love being hoovered well mine did, they had to be done 1st

[Hidden]

Well maybe it was written with fibromites in mind, you know how we look for the milk in the cooker, leave our glasses in the fridge it might not be a step to far to put the dog in the washing machine and the washing in the dog bed

I once opened a pack of chewing gum that had this instruction inside the wrapper, and Im not kidding...

FOR BEST RESULTS, PLACE IN MOUTH

[lyzzie in reply to lyzzie]

Sorry, pressed submit before I was finished, but just what did they think I was going to do with the Gum? Health and safety gone mad!! Thats funny though, good job we can laugh!! Lyzzie x

[Hidden]

I thought chewing gum was just to spit out on the pavement -thats where it all ends up.can be fined for dropping a cigarette but but not for chewing gum?Not implying you do that Lyzzie!
