Thursday Tweets: Teens and Dishwashers

While looking through our Twitter feed we found these tweets to share with you.

First we want to share with you some training that happened recently at the GE factory. They ran a tour and program to recruit teens into the manufacturing industry.

For the first time ever, high school students are taking a tour inside GE's Appliance Park @JCPSKY @bcpsky pic.twitter.com/VBMaph5c9R

— Samantha Chatman (@Sam_ChatmanWDRB) October 27, 2015

Students get to see first-hand the different jobs and tasks that are performed at GE's dishwasher plant. pic.twitter.com/x5661K3LaJ

— Samantha Chatman (@Sam_ChatmanWDRB) October 27, 2015

Usually we only hear about teens who are not making the dishwasher work, like in these tweets. The first of these might strike a chord with our own Kelly.

How many teen boys does it take to make sure the dishwasher is loaded? More than 3, apparently.

— Yep,they're both me. (@3sunzzz) October 27, 2015

My brother could probably kill someone and my parents would thank him but god forbid I forget to unload the dishwasher

— han (@hannaheslawek) October 20, 2015

I am 17 years old and cannot work out how to turn on the dishwasher without help. What am I doing with my life?

— teej (@tjsullivan_) October 27, 2015

We don't want people to think we are picking on teenagers. Sometimes adults have their own challenges with using the dishwasher.

My husband was trying to fix the dishwasher and, long story short, we have a cool fountain in our kitchen now!

— Spookley Britches (@BossyBritches72) October 27, 2015

What kind of idiot gets a whisk tangled in the top rack of the dishwasher and has to use a wire cutter? Me. I'm the kind of idiot.

When it comes to using the dishwasher a little courtesy can go a long way.

There are two types of people in the world: people who leave dishes in the sink when the dishwasher is right there, and people who I like.

And finally, because this IS the internet, here is a kitten.

Thursday Tweets: Dryers and Ducting

While looking through our Twitter feed we found these tweets to share with you.

The first tweet we found is also a reason for a lot of the calls for service on dryers.

When you're drying for over 2 hours and your items are not dried yet. Wth dryer?! #youhaveonejob #dryer

— Ruby Chavez (@rubychz51) August 2, 2015

Naturally, it is easy to blame the socks. After all they go AWOL so easily. But they probably are not REALLY the problem.

The real reason your #dryer is broken pic.twitter.com/7nxrMBYV5H

— Westside Appliance (@westsidedsm) July 31, 2015

Not cleaning the ducting? There is a good chance that has something to do with the machine not working correctly.

The air duct to our dryer had been clogged since 1980 & we discovered some vintage child stickers in the process.

— Halley Filipski Bell (@HalleySuzy) July 29, 2015

Sure, it's a chore. That comes with the territory if you want to take care of your home and your appliances.

House repairs today. Replaced persnickety dryer duct and leaking faucet in the bathroom. Problems never end as a homeowner, it appears.

— Adam Blount (@sneakysqueaky86) July 24, 2015

Of course, you could give up using a dryer and use a clothesline. When it rains, though, clotheslines have their own issues.

Thursday Tweets: Microwave Ovens

While looking through our Twitter feed we found these tweets to share with you.

We start off with a some inspiration and a laugh.

I try to accomplish epic missions before the microwave hits zero!

— Alexis From TX (@Mad_Humor) June 7, 2015

Due to a glitch on craigslist, I am currently having a casual encounter with a used microwave

— Snorklhuahua (@weinerdog4life) June 7, 2015

Even a "casual encounter" can have a few complications, maybe a look at the owners manual would help?

life would've been so much easier if plastic, styrofoam and aluminum plates were microwave-safe

— tahm (@tahmue) June 5, 2015

Apparently "microwave safe" means the bowl will feel like molten lava when you touch it. This is why I have trust issues..

— mark elghossain (@markthemannn) June 8, 2015

I may be graduating in a year but I guess I still don't know that metal cups make microwaves lightening ????

— Natalie Bryant (@natalieb715) June 5, 2015

Just set my microwave on fire for the second time this month??

— Bianca Siqueira (@_siqueirabianca) June 8, 2015

Generally, though microwave ovens serve us pretty well.

"you’re so hot” i whispered as i took my plate of food out of the microwave

— Nathan Robert (@NathanTTC) June 7, 2015

Even if they might get the kids into trouble with Mom.

microwaves should have a “dont make a beep sound my mom is gonna be really mad if she finds out I’m making pizza rolls at 4 am again" option

— ?s??g a?? ?ec?less : (@AdoreVictoriaD) June 5, 2015

Microwaves don't need to give warning beeps after cooking food - the last thing I'm going to do is forget I just made pizza rolls.

— Brandon Marshall (@BSMarshall2) June 5, 2015

Popcorn has never been the same since the invention of the microwave.

i was craving sweet microwave popcorn a couple of hrs ago and now im in bed eating sweet microwave popcorn. dreams really do come true kids

— kari (@folieadouchebag) June 8, 2015

We salute the Microwave Oven!

Big shout out to all microwaves out there for understanding how lazy we are.

Thursday Tweets: Dishwasher Style

While looking through our Twitter feed we found these tweets to share with you.

The first post we see today addresses one of the great problems of our time.

The greatest threat to marriage today is effective communication about whether the dishes in the dishwasher are clean or dirty.

— Prentice Elliott (@PrenticeElliott) May 12, 2015

Of course, there are other ways a dishwasher might interfere with marital bliss.

Put my great grandmother’s cast iron pan in the dishwasher if you want to. I will take your head clean off your shoulders with the same pan.

— Samantha Reine (@CuzImAReinegade) May 12, 2015

Sometimes, the best of intentions can wrong too.

Daddy, what's not dishwasher safe? Oh, that means one day daddy will think he's helping by loading the dishwasher but get yelled at for it.

— Simon Holland (@simoncholland) May 4, 2015

Of course, it could be that someone has unrealistic expectations.

Some people say you should rinse your plates before putting them in the dishwasher. I say HAVE HUMANS ACHIEVED NOTHING?!?!?!?!?!?!

— Joe Hildebrand (@Joe_Hildebrand) May 10, 2015

Some folks DO appreciate how good they have it, though.

They say diamonds are a girl's best friend, but today it is my dishwasher.

— American Housewife (@WhatIDoAllDay) May 12, 2015

Appreciation can take several forms.

Hubs just told me which dishwasher we are buying... Kinda turned me on. :) #marriage

— Debbie (@gizzydebbie) May 7, 2015

Sometime's your spouse deserves the thanks, other times it is all you.

Just opened my dishwasher to empty it and it was already emptied (by me, last night at 11 pm) -- it's called treating yourself, ladies!!!!

— Caity Weaver (@caityweaver) May 7, 2015

With less planning, you may still have a chore to do. With a little luck, this is as bad as it gets.

Pretty sure my major accomplishment for today is going to be unloading the dishwasher. #lifewithatoddler #toddlerlife #winning

— Amanda Serenity Now (@SerenityNowGirl) May 12, 2015

When you do get around to washing those dishes, take quick look in the machine before you start loading it.

Always check your dishwasher pic.twitter.com/BChBMgjmTA

Have great day and keep on smiling!

Thursday Tweets: Gas and Electric Range Edition

While looking through our Twitter feed we found these tweets to share with you.

A search in the world of Twitter can lead to some surprising ideas. This one is not recommended...

Denim tip: If your jeans smell, put em in the freezer. Then defrost, marinate & pan sear over butter. Transfer to baking sheet & put in oven
— dieworkwear (@dieworkwear) March 22, 2015

If you are a bit of a joker, this tip might be fun. On the other hand, it could lead to a ruined dinner...

Electric stove in my house .. when people are cooking i turn it off when they're not looking hahaha
— Aaron Wanat (@AaronWanat) March 21, 2015

If being a joker does not come naturally, maybe this "smart range" can help you...

New gas range has WiFi. And an app. And OTA firmware updates with baking jokes to pass time. I guess that's IoT? pic.twitter.com/3JQCkXhTR2
— Evan Brown (@evandbrown) March 8, 2015

And even if this looks cute, it probably isn't the most sanitary approach to your cooking appliances...

Cooktop? Where? pic.twitter.com/kOdlXXPl0F
— Bailey the Cat (@BaileyBlueCat) March 22, 2015

If you want a cute kitchen, here is another approach to consider...

— Proletariateats (@proletariateats) March 10, 2015

If your tastes run to the more modern, you too have options. However, glass cooktops can break. So be careful...

Oops what are the odds I drop something on the corner of my cooktop and bam it breaks #smh #oops pic.twitter.com/Bn0DUQcAyg
— Lauryn Taylor (@lauryntaylorby) February 24, 2015

We would hate for you to have a broken appliance. That could lead to this opinion...

I proper hate cooking on electric cookers kmt
— ?Aisha? (@HiMyNameIsToyo) March 7, 2015

A few tweets we found just left us confused, like this one...

Thursday Tweets: More from the Laundry Room

While looking through our Twitter feed we found these tweets to share with you.

A bit of fashion criticism brings us back to the subject of laundry...

Someone: omg u wore that shirt the other day me: yeah well in my house we have this amazing thing called a washing machine
— ?aƒ??a ?a???? (@SaFi_p0pZz) February 24, 2015

Sometimes the dirty clothes just scream "clean me". Other times not so much...

My laundry is staring at me.
— Riley (@VeniceRiley) February 25, 2015

Once a person gets started, they might start daydreaming...

So I just sat there and watched the washer for a solid 5 min trying to figure out where the water comes out from??
— ash brum? (@ashlyn_brumley) February 17, 2015

Eventually, an idea might strike...

Just realized that if I do laundry more often, the loads won't be as big. Now, off to go solve the rest of the world's problems.
— Maddie Gardner (@Maddie_Gardner) February 24, 2015

Too much daydreaming can lead to further laundry problems, though...

When you wake up and realize every pair of pants you have are still in the washer from the previous night: pic.twitter.com/ZLBSB3g2Up
— Phantom (@phantominfrisco) February 17, 2015

When comes time to dry the clothes, this Twitter user has an opinion...

If you put one small wash load into three dryers, you are a bad person.
— katey healy-wurzburg (@khealywu) February 17, 2015

Still, there are drying options. You could use a clotheline, but be careful...

Tip of the day, clotheslines save electricity over dryers in the summer,but remember where you hang them #ouch #oldmandown @Frigidaire
— elementernie (@elementErnie) August 1, 2014

Some folks use a laundrymat to dry their clothes. Sometimes that means a grungy old dryer, but maybe not...

S/O to the laundry mat on 13th street for finally up grading their dryers! ??????? pic.twitter.com/QTlSaVOYcE
— Teto (@OhTeto) February 17, 2015

That leaves laundry at home which does have at least one fringe benefit...

"Buck cozy in the warm clean laundry straight from the dryer." --- Marta pic.twitter.com/QbyKiuQsMp
— Cats (@Cats) February 25, 2015

And we all know, when it comes to laundry, it feels so good to get the job done...

Thursday Tweets: Laundry Room Edition

While looking through our Twitter feed we found these laundry room tweets to share with you.

When you are waiting for the laundry to finish washing...

Nothing is more interesting than what's happening in this washing machine. NOTHING. pic.twitter.com/TCEYV4swB8
— Brian Wecht (@bwecht) January 11, 2015

Waiting for your clothes to wash can bring strange thought to mind...

I have come to the conclusion that the dryer lint is the cremated remains of all my missing socks.
— Jenna Lewisa (@jenna_lewissa) January 16, 2015

Maybe the missing socks are part of a larger conspiracy...

You think you have freedom of choice when you do the dishes? Wake up, man! It's all a conspiracy run by Big Detergent & Big Appliance, cmon!
— Rich Harrington (@McNarstle) January 6, 2015

As nutty as those thought can be,  your life took a turn for the better.

I went from seeking the ultimate high to the ultimate laundry detergent.
— LittlestSlobo (@LittlestSlobo) January 11, 2015

Still, laundry does have its frustrations sometimes...

It'd be great if people could come grab their laundry outta the dryer...
— Blaine (@bbock_21) January 15, 2015

It makes a person think about other options than their laundry room...

I wish I had a washer/dryer as big as the ones at the laundromat. Then I wouldn't have to do 6 loads of laundry a week.
— K to the Beef (@kkrissstin) January 15, 2015

Luckily, there is a solution...

To celebrate, I'm off to buy a new washing machine.

Thursday Tweets: Holiday Edition

While looking through our Twitter feed we found these holiday season tweets to share with you.

To start things off. We all know that there are "morning people" and then there are the rest of us. But one day a year, it seems like everybody becomes a "morning person"...

i’m only a morning person on december 25th
— calvinOSF (@calvinsetsfire) December 10, 2014

For some of us, we really need to get in the mood to become a "morning person".

— Cute Emergency (@CuteEmergency) December 10, 2014

On the other hand, there are those who just don't seem to have much fun at this time of year, despite the best wishes of their friends.

My girlfriends are going to a holiday craft and bake sale and invited me to join them. Long story short, I don't have any friends anymore.
— JuneBug (@jenyb4) December 10, 2014

Maybe its just more fun to make your own baked goods.

More Christmas Cakes baking...long tedious process. Hurry up cakes & bake! Have no idea how I became a Pastry Chef, as I have no patience

Or maybe not. At least a pastry chefs treats are likely to be appreciated. Feel sorry for this guy...

Maybe our last tweeter just made the wrong baked goods...

On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me : 1 large pizza
— PIZZA (@thepizzafacts) December 10, 2014

Like us, this next tweeter is ready for some Christmas goodies. Unlike us, she has a broken oven. If only there was a service industry that could somehow help solve her problem. (wink, wink)  

Ya'll have me drooling over here! I need to get on my hubby to fix my oven so I can bake up some goodies! #ad #PBandG
— Outnumbered 3-1 (@OutnumberedMama) December 4, 2014

All this holiday treat talk has me thinking I should see if there are any goodies hiding out around the offices of W.L. May. Often there is something floating around to snack on at this time of year. Thanks to all of you who send us treats. We sure do enjoy them. So I am off to go scouting for yummies. Have a great holiday and remember to be safe when YOU go out scouting around for fun and goodies....

Thursday Tweets: Getting Ready for Thanksgiving (It's Not Too Early)

While looking through our Twitter feed we found these kitchen tweets to share with you.

In other posts, I have pointed out how Thanksgiving is a busy time for an appliance parts store and for the repair people we serve. People with broken appliances can get particularly anxious about getting repairs done before the holiday. We open our look into Twitter with a sentiment a home owner with a broken kitchen appliance might relate to...

Wish I was full of thanksgiving dinner instead of stress and anxiety
— Olivia Mendes (@livvymendes) October 22, 2014

Some people can get so worked up about holiday preparations that strange thoughts enter their mind...

Had a dream that I made Thanksgiving dinner in an EasyBake Oven and then was eaten by a tanning bed. Normal.
— Denise! (@Stellacopter) October 21, 2014

To save some time, a portion of the holiday cooking can be done with a microwave. This tweeter plans on shaving a few seconds off of the cooking time...

Life is too short to cover stuff in the microwave
— Owl City (@owlcity) October 22, 2014

From the sidelines I know that plan won't save time, because any time you save by not covering your food, you are likely to spend later cleaning up the mess...

Life is too short to scrape crusty exploded spaghetti-os off the inside of the microwave
— Owl City (@owlcity) October 22, 2014

Really though, carelessness in the kitchen can lead to bigger problems than a mess to clean up...

Watching a show about house fires when suddenly I smelled burning. Realized I left my eggs on the stovetop. Homemade smellevision!
— Torrance Coombs (@torrancecoombs) September 28, 2014

A Safe-T element on the range might have prevented THAT burnt dish, but since they don't make Safe-T elements for ovens, you really still need to be paying attention in the kitchen...

Completely forgot I had a cake in the oven, and found it smoking and totally black a few hours later! 😣
— HeyoTheo (@HeyoTheo) October 22, 2014

No really, just pay attention...

I'm the definition of stupid. I literally just sat my hand down on a hot burner cuz I wanted to know why it said "hot cooktop".. DUH LINDSAY
— ℓιи∂ѕαу тυяиєя (@lindzzzz_) October 14, 2014

Your not stupid, Lindsay, just careless. Like this tweeter...

Just tried to microwave something, realized too late I set it for 1 hour instead of 1 minute. I have lost the intelligence high road.
— Jason Pinter (@jasonpinter) October 22, 2014

If you are careful, and pay attention, the odds are you will succeed in creating a great holiday meal for your guests. Some of them will thank you like this...

All I'm doing after thanksgiving dinner is sleeping and watching football
— Guardian (@MIDNITEsMADNESS) October 22, 2014

If you have a dishwasher you will probably think to yourself...

I guess ill never understand putting dirty dishes in the sink before you go to bed. Especially when the dishwasher is not even a foot away
— Connor Halliday (@c_halliday12) October 15, 2014

Of course if your dishwasher is out of order, then you might be thinking something more like this...

The dishwasher broke so I just had to wash an entire load of dishes by hand like some kind of normal person from the 1950's.
— Sammy Rhodes (@sammyrhodes) October 19, 2014

After over 20 years of watching people get anxious as they scramble to get things fixed in the kitchen at the last minute, let me offer some free advice. You can head off some potential holiday frustrations by getting any appliances that need servicing fixed NOW! Don't wait until the last minute. That way you can enjoy your Thanksgiving with one less thing to cause you stress and anxiety.

Post Script

This post was meant as a fun reminder to get your appliances repairs started sooner rather than later. If YOUR appliances are working great, we don't want this blog post to be a total waste of your time so here are a few tips for using your microwave, as well as one thing you definitely should NOT try at home...

Thursday Tweets: Microwave Edition

While looking through our Twitter feed we found these washing machine related tweets to share with you.

Our visit to the Twitterverse begins with a microwave story that's been in the news recently. An internet hoax got our of control:

Don’t fall for fake Apple ads telling you to put your iPhone in the microwave: http://t.co/jHr1kNhlsl pic.twitter.com/4vw03d1ddW
— MirrorTech (@MirrorTech) September 22, 2014

LAPD had to issue a warning to the community NOT to put the new iPhone in the microwave. Seriously. http://t.co/Q2xRo24cpB
— Ryan Parker (@TheRyanParker) September 24, 2014

The app which allows you to charge your new iPhone 6 in the microwave is a hoax!!! Try it and you'll get an explosion and a visit from us!
— Perry Barr Fire (@PerryBarrFire) September 19, 2014

In spite of all the warnings, a lot of people claim to have fallen for the prank:

At least one kid tried to capitalize on the situation:

"Dad, can I get a new phone? I fell for the microwave hoax lol." "No, you little idiot."
— Roger Dorn (@RogerJDorn) September 24, 2014

Others saw this as a chance to clean folks out of their follower list:

If you actually believed the rumor of the iOS 8 being able to charge your iPhone by putting it in the microwave, just unfollow me now. 😐
— Bella♱Faith (@PRETTIIGIRL007) September 24, 2014

Another new report a day or so later reported that the new, thinner iphones were bending in peoples pockets. This tweeter tried to get just a little more pranking mileage out of that news report.

It’s fine, just pop it in the microwave for a minute and it’ll flatten right out. #theprojecttv
— The Project (@theprojecttv) September 24, 2014

The correct answer, even if it is a little over the top, is:

Don't put anything in the microwave. Not your dog, not your phone. It's a deadly, radioactive death machine Just use it for things you eat.
— pumpkin spice sadvil (@crylenol) September 20, 2014

Again, use it for things you eat. Not penguins?!?

Penguins are not microwave safe
— Real Penguin Facts (@PenguinTruths) September 20, 2014

If you are using the microwave correctly, for foods you eat. Don't overdo it with the cooking time.

When these things start happening it kind of stops being a washing machine and becomes more of an irritation.

washing machine loses all identity when broken, becomes 'white metal box'
— village fetish (@botandy) August 21, 2014

In spite of the occasional irritation, we should consider ourselves lucky to have washing machines. 

In Kerala, my grandmother didn't have a washing machine. She washed her clothes in a river. The only Tide she used was from the ocean.
— paulvarghese (@paulvarghese) August 19, 2014

If you have a washing machine (or a dishwasher) this tweeter suggest you learn how to use yours.

When people are too lazy to learn how to clean, cook, tidy, sort out bins, use the dishwasher/washing machine. good luck living on your own👍
— fran (@buswxnker) August 18, 2014

When you know how to use your washing machine, running it might be music to your ears.

Music is music, I don't care how you come about it,Instruments, car blinkers, washing machine. All play a melody. Listen for it!
— T Dawn (@tdawn1) August 25, 2014

Speaking of music, this guy attended a concert and got agitated.

at the front for arctic monkeys last night, best way to describe it is that it was like being in a human washing machine, got destroyed...
— Daniel Wishart (@indietwat) August 25, 2014

If by destroyed he means drunk, well then, maybe he is responsible for this installation job. By the way, tweeter, that is a dryer that is hanging around in that laundry room.

I thought I was drunk, but no, the washing machine is hanging upside down from the ceiling 😳 pic.twitter.com/0twoJf5TIS

Returning you to normal, the least we can do is leave you with some actual valid advice. 

Check your washing machine's hoses for leaks. It could be wasting water without you knowing it! #CADrought

Maybe your own washing machine is not acting "normal". If your appliance is screaming, spilling water, or just not making the kind of music it should, don't ignore the problem! Small problems can turn into bigger (and more expensive) problems when they are not dealt with quickly. If you need parts to do the job, give us a call here at W.L. May and we will do every thing we can to get your machine back to "normal".

Twitter Tweets: Icemaker Edition

While looking through our Twitter feed we found these icemaker related tweets to share with you.

We start with a common enough situation that prompts calls to us every day. Generally, we provide a different solution than this tweeter...

My icemaker is broken, so I am probably going to switch to just drinking beer until it's fixed. That's reasonable, right?
— Jeanna (@jeannathomas) July 12, 2011

This problem, however is a little less common. Still, beer is involved.

my water has tasted like beer for a week thanks to the moron that casually poured budlight into my icemaker #beercubes
— abby rinker (@abbyyrinker) June 19, 2014

Sometimes the problem is that the icemaker is giving too much ice!

"An ice cube? Just one? No, I don't... ... let me check. Hang on, I'm gonna make a grinding noise. OH HERE HAVE NINE." -my fridge icemaker

Sometime problems in the ice bin can cause the dispensing mechanism to "back up" a bit.

Not sure if there’s a technical term for this, but our icemaker was, for all intents and purposes, constipated. pic.twitter.com/51EZXeMOmi
— Todd Kerpelman (@ToddKerpelman) June 29, 2014

This is a less common scenario that can cause some blockage.

Oh, THIS is why the ice maker hasn't worked in months? Husband denies his role. #beer #icemaker pic.twitter.com/F4W5e2vB
— Dana Fowle Fox 5 (@danafowlefox5) November 14, 2012

Another common problem we might be able to help with, or maybe not. I guess it depends on how many people need ice. Seems like a lot of trouble getting it from Sonic though!

Our icemaker is too slow so we get ice from sonic and put it in our freezer
— Jessica•Skellie (@LilSkelz) July 24, 2014

Here is another solution that we find questionable for a few reasons...

@Brutus_Buckeye - When the icemaker in our freezer cracked, at least we had the right duct tape to fix it! #GoBucks pic.twitter.com/zeuNoEB3mg
— Kristine McDonough (@kristinemcd1209) June 29, 2014

OK, so I know that duct tape is the handyman secret weapon. But it's not food grade. Even if it was, Ohio, that tape is not suitable. This is Pac 12 country not Big 10 land.

If you need an icemaker to accesorize your refrigerator, install items, or parts to make it all better, give us a call. We are well stocked in icemakers and related pieces to help you stay cool and hydrated during these summer months. Now get out there, and enjoy the summer!

Thursday Tweets Refrigerator Edition

While looking through our Twitter feed we found these refigerator tweets to share with you.

Beginning the project can be the hardest part. Hemingway suggests starting a project by doing a different project you like even less.

@Kelsye @12Most Hemingway's advice on how to start writing in the morning: "First, you clean the refrigerator."
— Abbot Mills (@mills_abbot) June 17, 2014

Another approach is to just jump in and get it done!

Friday! And I've already made the bed and fixed the icemaker. Feeling ACCOMPLISHED for 7am. We'll see how long it lasts.....
— sarahdessen (@sarahdessen) May 16, 2014

Speaking of starting the day right. This tweeter has the right attitude.

I may not have everything I want all the time but i am thankful for waking up with food in my refrigerator every morning 👍
— Marco Reus⚽ (@Rojo_53) June 17, 2014

Some people don't start the day so well. This tweeter sympathizes.

I tweet for the people who pour bowls of cereal and then open the refrigerator and find out they're milk-less. 😒😔
— Deux (@Nyck_2) June 11, 2014

Off to a hungry morning, some take this approach.

I keep going and looking in the refrigerator like theres going to be something new in there that wasn't there the first 10 times I looked 😂
— Stanley Taylor (@TheCheww) June 17, 2014

Encountering an empty refrigerator can bring this thought to mind.

I wish my refrigerator delivered….
— Trevor Donovan (@TrevDon) June 16, 2014

No breakfast makes for a long morning, but the refrigerator at work can be a whole other kind of experience.

Beyond the Wall of Passive-Aggressive Notes Left on the Break Room Refrigerator #HRLovecraft
— Sarah L. Crowder (@sarahlcrowder) June 17, 2014

The mess that leads to the notes.

How does the office refrigerator get so disgusting? You don't make a mess in your home refrigerator and not wipe it up.
— Corrin Foster (@corrinrenee) June 17, 2014

Life just is not as simple as when we were kids.

When I was a kid, I used to close the refrigerator slowly to see the light turns off.
— LOL (@iTweetYouLoL) June 17, 2014

Maybe some new technology will help, but I doubt it!

Sony researchers have developed a refrigerator that only opens when you smile.
— UberFacts (@UberFacts) June 15, 2014

If the refrigerator from Sony takes off we may need some one liners like this just to get lunch!

Is your refrigerator running? Because I would vote for it, it's a smart fridge and seems like you could have a beer in it.
