[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Staying with my elderly aunt and uncle. Sleeping on a twin bed from the 90s.

My uncle turns the WiFi router off every night when he goes to bed and is done using it, around 11 pm.

The kitchen circuit breaker keeps going off; I got a talking to that it was my fault because I push the microwave buttons too fast which overloaded the circuit - never mind the extension cord piggy backing on extension cords with everything plugged in. I also didn’t clear the remaining time off the microwave.

Nobody ever has a snack here. Ever. If you’re hungry outside of strict mealtimes, you’re out of luck.

I asked my aunt if I could do a load of laundry. You have to turn on the water supply to the washer before you start - turn the handle all the way on before you start and then off after you’re done.

Has not been well maintained but not redone since the 1980s when they bought it. Burnt orange carpet downstairs. Golden carpet in the bedrooms. It’s not that weird, just hideous.

Ha! I LOLed about the microwave and the wifi router. Do you think the water supply to the washer leaks, or is that just a weird thing she does?

TBH I had a washer problem and when I tried to turn off the water, the handle was old and stuck. I had to shut off the water to the whole house. So I mean, at least that handle definitely works?[/quote]

My parents do this. Pretty much everything is unplugged over night and the water supply to the washer is turned unless its being used. They will leave the wifi on when we're visiting though because they know we keep different hours then them. They're just overly cautious about everything and super frugal about vampire energy usage by appliances.[/quote]
