My clothes dryer has been pissing me off.
The floor where our washer and dryer are is tilted slightly to one side. As a result, gravity pulls the door to our front-loading clothes dryer closed. It's pretty annoying to try to transfer something from the washer to the dryer that requires two hands, because I have to stand on one foot, while holding the dryer door open with the other foot, and then take both hands and transfer the stuff over. It's a delicate dance that I'm sure would draw endless ridicule if a video of me performing it were posted to YouTube.
I wish that dryer doors worked in a similar way that car doors do -- where there are discrete locations where the door comes to rest in. That way, when you are parked on a hill, the door will still stay open, even if gravity is trying to pull it closed.
Maybe I'm just whining. This weekend, one of my goals will be to strategically place a magnet that will hold the (metal) door in the fully open position, so that the problem will no longer annoy me (as much). I haven't looked at new dryers in that much detail, but I don't remember any of them having doors that resisted closing.
