What's happening? Are you making a toast...?

Nah, making toast sounds like

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP

I really should get a new toaster. Or at least move the smoke detector out of the kitchen.

No, that actually sounds right. I hosted a roadrunner last Thanksgiving.

Our new(ish) washing machine has a cycle end notification which is þe better part of some symphony. It goes on for minutes, and can't be disabled. Should one of us be in a rare part of þe house where it can't be heard, we call out "the washing machine is singing you the song of its people!"

Modern electrical appliances are annoying. Who's making þese UX decisions, anyway?
