Esas máquinas diabólicas... diabolical machines
I was just talking with compi Gary and told him a friend of mine always calls washing machines, irons...diabolical machines
His opinion:
I think that is a universal concept jejeje
What do you think? Is this true for most men?
Is this what most men think a washing machine is for?

Es fácil olvidar que antes tenía de que había lavadoras, muchas horas de la semana se perdieron en el lavar la ropa a mano. Hemos ganado mucho tiempo libre, luego para ser consumidos por una máquina más diabólica, la televisión.
How about an iron...who of you men can iron?
I can iron, but I rarely do because I rarely wear clothes that need to be ironed. I only own three shirts that need to be ironed, and I only wear them when I wear a suit, which is only for weddings. However, I would like to point out that the iron we own is the one I had before I met my wife, and there is a reason I had one when I was single.
My wife and I both cook and do the laundry. I do the laundry more often, and that includes hanging up the clothes to dry since we don't have a dryer. I even sort the clothes by color. Who cooks depends on what is being cooked since we have different cooking styles.
Don´t show that to my flatmates! Uff! I´ve been living with students for 8 years and i´m sick of it! This year I moved in with professionals and then they moved out and students moved in! The teacher got annoyed at me for yawning so much in class today because I was up half the night listening to them shouting... and there were only four of them!
I don't know, Heidita.
One day (early in my marriage) I was deathly sick, and so I asked my husband to do the laundry. Now mind you, he's a nuclear physicist
Well, about an hour and a half later he came upstairs and said, "I just don't understand it, I put the clothes in over an hour ago and they aren't even wet yet?"
Yep, you guessed it. He put the clothes in the dryer and added soap!! 
Now, I was wondering about his intelligence until we were watching a comedian who was talking about doing things deliberately in the most insane way possible, to make sure his wife wouldn't ask him to do them again.
My husband laughed so hard I thought he was going to choke.
Now I wonder who was stupid ... 
I think that washing machines are a mixed blessing. They are great machines when they work well but it can be expensive to have them repaired.
Creo que las máquinas de lavar tienen sus pros y sus contras. Son máquinas estupendas cuando funcionen bien pero ¡puede ser caro para haberlas reparado!
With respect to Irons.....I do not like ironing clothes at all it is a very boring household task to do, although I am gradually getting better at doing it.
Con respeto a las planchas no me gusta planchar la ropa nada ...es una tarea (de la casa) muy aburrido, aunque estoy mejorando poco a poco con mi habilidad hacerlo
Corrijan mi Español, por favor 
Putting the cold beer in the laundry room is evil and unnecessary. . .unless you make your wife go and fetch it for you
Abuse, abuse , jeje

Anybody?????
No, that's not what I use it for. I usually find a bucket to fill with ice and the beer stays just as cold.

My partner does most of the washing and he can use an iron too. Although, since clothes usually end up on the floor in the children's rooms anyway, I don't bother with ironing very often. The creases drop out when you wear them
Si, puedo planchar mi ropa. Pero... no lo hago casi nunca. Por lo general llevo ropa de que no necesitas planchar. Y cuando tengo vestirme elegantemente, llevo ropa que fue planchada en el tintorería. Lo que nunca digo es pedir a mi cariña, ""Karen, por favor, puedes planchar mi pantalón?" Porque me pegaría con la plancha en lugar de hacer algo así.
