Anyone else deeply annoyed by the digital music chimes on newer machines with LCD displays? In our house, we just want an analog machine that does the job. These new digital chimes with every turn of the dial or press of a button are super annoying to us. Some- I'm looking at you Maytag Bravos- can't even be disabled without modifying the machine.

I really believe it is a cultural thing. In Japan I saw a frying pan with uplifting words embossed on it. Why?
Dishwashing sponges that will brighten my day? Really? While walking the streets of Japan a colleague mentioned, “Why must every sign be a cartoon ??!! “ Similarly, why must appliances burp out cutesy songs? It appears that in Asian countries, “ faux joy” designed into everything is their thing. Personally I find it extremely annoying. The mute button is an important design element. Should I end up with some device that sings baby songs to me while cycling, I wish to have the option to mute it. Perhaps they can design it so I can reprogram the song to something more of my liking, like a note or two. |
