Absolutely ! Maybe Larry will chime in on the number of times he has seen a drier on fire . 

First nothing runs when we leave, not the washer, dryer , dishwasher nothing , second anything that heats up,is unplugged when not in use .

Heres one dryer fire story .

First , Engines have pumps ,attack lines ,supply lines and 500 gallons of water, and slightly built FF’s . Trucks have ladders , tools and big strong men , our Trucks do have 300 gallons and a pump and a couple  attack lines , so we can go to car, dumpster fires and so on , but we are never the base pumper at a building fire . 

Fire comes in two blocks from my firehouse , so I knew my Truck would  beat the Engines in ,no biggie we’ll search and ladder like we always do when we beat the engines . Pull up and THE Fire Chief is there as he was driving by, he says ,” Lar , Take a  line in that door the stairs go right to the apartment on the second floor , “ so we bring in a line and knock down the dryer fire. I report over the air,  fire knocked down , Chief says “ I don’t think so “ I stick my head out the window and smoke is puffing hard out the attic .....

We don’t have six foot hooks to pull the ceiling ,as we came in as an “ engine “ ,with hose , and the actual engines came in like they always do, so nobody was doing truck work or brought in hooks. I call for the hooks we pull the ceilings and knock down the attic fire . 

Owner had run a metal dryer vent up, into  the attic ,which basically was a blow torch now once the dryer caught fire .

The renters had started dryer and left .... Our delay In the hooks was a bit frustrating, but had minimal effect ,overall .

Fast forwent a couple years I’m at PT, nice looking blonde gal as my therapist , she sees I’m a FF, says oh my apartment caught fire once, I ask where she tells me .....

I cleaned up the aftermath of numerous dryer fire over the years. And food left on the stove, in the oven, puff backs (oil furnaces that puked soot all through the house) candle fires etc........thank GOD for those fireman.

Thank you , lar

I clean the stove at the end of the day, I use it for multiple meals... the sink gets cleaned after I shave only

I clean up the kitchen after I cook, as I make a mess! This time of year i seem to clean it a lot, but I'd rather be in the kitchen cooking up some venison than outside freezing my arse off! As for being OCD? I don't think so! The lights on all over the house that gets me too. But I go a step further with 3 way switches, I have to go out of my way to be sure the lower switch is always in the off position! ( maybe I do have issues)!!!

Fun fact 

@Biz-R-OWorldcleans his grill after every use . Some of you may say that’s not bad but he does it immediately while his meat sits and gets cold .

Cleanliness is next to Godliness........ that's what my Mama told me.

I bet some of you fancy fellas even step out of the shower to take a shit.

Cleaning a hot grill takes under 1 minutes. It’s just a few swipes with the brush. There are people who don’t swipe and cover it (once cool) after every use?

I also clean my grill after every use. I wipe down the stove, counters and sink after every use too.

Why would you let your meal get cold while you clean ?

I don't. I don't shut it down until after we eat, then clean it so it's ready for next time.

That reminds me of some stories I've heard my father tell us . My dad was a volunteer fireman my whole life until he went inactive and just focused on helping around the hall with the bar and bingo stuff.  He worked for gold cross ambulance when I was younger and those are the most disturbing stories.

I would be bad at this .  It's like recycling who really knows what is and what isn't supposed to and remember it.  Clams shells and silverware I would prob remember.

They were banned in NYC for years. I think they thought people would stuff body parts and transmissions down there. Probably right.

I've put in 14 kitchens last 4 months, this week on 15 is the first where one showed up with the appliances. Nice job too, how disappointing. 

In 32 years of residential work, any client that's had one, when you ask if they want again it's the most emphatic no you can get.

Stink like a rotten disgusting mess they are.

I don’t know anyone who has one yet except forum members now. Just empty your plate in garbage before rinsing in sink and putting in dishwasher. I don’t get the point of it
