we don’t read instruction manuals


There’s a new dishwasher in the kitchen. It’s so new-fangled, it should unload itself. It has a built in disposal, so no more scraping off food! Anyway, the wash-rinse-dry cycle wasn’t finishing. Last night I turned it off after four hours. The indicator light was stuck on ‘clean’. Instead of calling for service today, I decided to actually sit down and read the manual. It seems when the indicator light is stuck on ‘clean’, it means ‘clean’. It means the dishes are clean. It means you can either unload it, or go sit and enjoy a tall glass of iced tea.
