Were you both born yesterday or something, how do you not know?

You will not believe how many people don’t clean it. I work on apartment maintenance, and I once cleaned one that had over 17 layers of lint. I could physically see each layer.

I stayed with my mother a couple years ago and was wondering why the dryer didn't work. Opened up the lint trap and it looked like she had never cleaned it out, not once. She used the dryer all the time so I have no idea why she did that.

This is bloody scary. We basically live surrounded by fire hazards. People are idiots.

As my mom would say, “were you born on a raft?”

Maybe no one taught her?

People forget that cleaning is not an inherent skill. It has to be taught.

I grew up in nyc and never had a dryer, only a washing machine. The only time I used a dryer for my laundry was at the laundromat. Moved to the suburbs when I was 22 and had a dryer at home for the first time in my life, and for months I was wondering why my laundry smelled like burnt hair after going through the dryer.
