What household appliance freaks you out most?

[tcfrogs]

[kick-ass-bob]

1. Breadmaker.

I think it is talking to me:

redrum. redrum.

:scared:

[eyesroll]

2. Electric knives.

:scared:

Thanksgiving isn't fun.

[Worst Username Ever]

3. electric coffee bean grinder

So LOUD in the morning.

[benito]

4. the microwave

1. Stores have a sign on the window telling (warning?) you that there is a microwave inside
2. There is a new weapon that uses microwaves.

odd stuff.

[tcfrogs]

5. My ice maker makes weird noices all night

But I must have ice, so I deal with it.

[flamingyouth]

8. Mine does too

It makes loud noises very suddenly and occasionally freaks me out.

[Magrittes Pipe]

6. Bread maker. I already have a bread maker. It's called MY FUCKING OVEN.

I HATE things that only can be used for one thing, and even that one thing they do far worse than the tried-and-true method.

[kick-ass-bob]

9. so you don't like coffee pots either?

ice makers?

:shrug:

[Magrittes Pipe]

14. I would never buy an ice maker. Sure, if it's included in the fridge....

And coffee pots are different. Only a GOOD coffee maker can make a good cup of coffee (although a $20 French press will give you a better brew than most sub-$100 electric pots).

But bread makers? Get real.

[Bridget Burke]

12. A friend who bought a bread maker....

Said it's a great way to add lots of weight. It makes bread production even easier.

If I ever need to gain weight, I'll buy one.

[jcappy]

7. juicers

the ones that rock n roll-- sometimes right off the counter top. very dangerous, and noisy.

[starroute]

10. Breadmaker

I've still got a nasty burn scar on my wrist from one of the first times I used it, when I reached past the (very hot) inner unit to unplug it.

I didn't stop making bread, but these days I'm much more respectful.

[Richardo]

11. The Ronco Food Dehydrator

:scared:

[Bunny]

27. Tell me more about this, Richardo.

What first scared you about the dehydrator? When did everything go wrong? Was it soon after that, you know, "unfortunate" incident?

:hi: guy!

[Richardo]

29. Let's just say I'll never own a hamster ever again.

Jerky anybody? :evilgrin:

What really scares me is that Ron Popeil became a zillionaire selling that crap.

:hi: gal!

[gpandas]

13. coffee pot-how does it know...

when to stop perkin'?

[baldguy]

15. I have no fear of the inner workings of appliances. I can fix anything.

The problem for comes with USING them!

[Burma Jones]

16. Children......................n/t

[madrchsod]

17. garbage disposals

`nough said

[kick-ass-bob]

18. what movie was that where the guy had his hand down

the disposal and the ghost was trying to flip the switch?
:scared:

[Blue-Jay]

19. The Salad Shooter.

Salads should not be "shot".

[Gothic Sponge]

20. The electric vasectomy machine

Every home has one.... right?

[tcfrogs]

22. You're right

I forgot to include that one. It's right next to my toaster, too. Sorry, my bad.

[TrogL]

21. Breadmakers make a really wierd noise

Granted the coffee pot comes a close second.

[qnr]

23. vacuum cleaners

especially the ones that look like they have little eyes on the side and a grinning mouth with the carpet height adjustment bit. Evil. Sucking things up without a care. Making stinky "I just ate some dust and dog tail" smells ... and the noise... sheesh

[dryan]

24. Wringer washers!

Knows this dates me, but I almost got my arm crushed when I was 12 in a wringer washer--right up to my armpit.

[qnr]

26. I was trying to find one of those a while

back, for my homemade paper projects

But I certainly can see why you would dislike them :/

[redqueen]

25. Can opener

I hate that thing and never use it. For me it's manual can openers only.

[DelawareValleyDem]

28. The Bass-o-matic

[Phillycat]

30. Garbage disposal.

Take your hand right off.

[SarahB]

31. Can Opener

I've had a can opener for 13 years and I have yet to figure out how to use it really. I think it's in storage now. I always use the little hand operated ones. :dunce:

[blindpig]

32. pinkie pump

you don't really want to know.

[Downtown Hound]

33. I can't believe no one has said refrigerator

I think mine is alive. It makes lots of weird noises in the night, and they're always different.

[Kellanved]

35. yeah, but it has beer

Anything that has (and gives) beer is OK in my book.

[Lady Effingbroke]

34. can opener,

specifically, electric can openers. I've never owned one that worked very well, if at all. The best can opener I've ever used is my current one - a cheap manual opener.
