The '1:30' laundry fan group at Nanshan Hi-Tech Hotel! 🧼⏰
It is said that I stayed in a hotel that seems to be very high-tech during my trip, with a smart washing machine but on another floor, and said it can connect to the room TV to show the washing time, which sounds very convenient! As a "hard-working traveler" who has to wash clothes while traveling, I immediately thought: Wow, this feature is really courteous, after washing you can sit in bed and watch TV, while waiting for the washing machine to do work, perfect! 🛏️
Before I went to do the laundry, however, I was a bit skeptical as I tried to connect and noticed that the TV and washing machine didn’t seem to “receive” each other’s time at all. I thought to myself: since I can't connect, then I better check the time displayed on the washing machine, count how long after going down to collect the clothes! So, I put the clothes in the smart washing machine, pressed the start button, and the washing machine screen read “1:30”. I immediately had some doubts: Is it an hour and 30 minutes, or 1 minute and 30 seconds to wash? If it's 1 minute and 30 seconds, isn't that washing too fast? 🤔 For safety reasons, I decided to go back to my room and watch TV and wait.
Somehow, reality is always some distance from fantasy...😅 I went back to my room, and after a while, I thought the time was almost the same, I should be able to go down and collect my clothes! But once I got down, the washing machine screen showed that there were still 50 minutes left! 50 minutes! Hey, was that “1:30” I saw kidding me? It turned out that I misunderstood, it said "1 hour and 30 minutes", but because I couldn't connect, I completely guessed the wrong time! 😤
Worst of all, the hotel said the only way to know the progress of the laundry was to walk down to the washing machine in person. The problem was, the room I stayed in was several floors away from the location of the washing machine and a short walk away! For me, a "greedy for convenience", it was simply a big challenge! 🏃♀️ I went downstairs while slipping my slippers to the nearest hotel and said to the smart washing machine and TV: Do you know how much I walked for you? If it wasn’t for the clean clothes, I really wanted to say goodbye to you guys! 😂
This experience is really a bit helpless, but it is a small episode in the journey, let me understand: technology is sometimes really not completely reliable, even the time can not see clearly, do not have to bring a timer next time to travel? ⏰ Have you ever encountered some "high-tech" troubles during your trip?
