Some days... you learn to be humble. Yesterday i installed
our new washing machine. Everything was fine, i connected
the hoses and the main connection, started the first test 
wash, marveled on how quiet that thing is until it engaded
the drying mode... i never have thought that the whole 
house could vibrate that much... even if the eifel vulcano
would finaly erupt it would not shaken the house THAT much.
My wife and i dashed to the controls and stopped that 
earthquake... now we stand there, in the midst of our new
kitchen and were contemplating what may be wrong with the
machine. While my wife was dialing the number of the 
customer support my eyes landed on the GIGANTIC RED LABELS
urging to remove the transport lock before using the 
machine...

What can i say, after removing the transport lock the 
machine suddenly ran quiet even while hurling the laundry
around at several hundred rpm.

So, to end it with a little reminder to myself:

    !!!!!READ THE FUCKING MANUAL!!!!!
    (...and look for giant red warning labels)
