Old fashioned things that are annoying

I love using a top sheet.

I don't care for electric can openers but found this manual to be the very best ever. One in the RV and one in the house. Bought them at least five years ago after doing a deep research dive on manual can openers. It's heavy weight, easy to crank, made in the US (imagine that!) and does exactly what it's supposed to do: open cans. They're as good today as the day I bought them. :cool:

I have that same can opener and it's still in use after 30+ years. I've bought at least 2 electric ones during that time but neither was as easy to use or reliable as the old manual one.
 

@StarSong I have a similar one in the RV. If I’m correct about it being the one I bought when we originally stocked it, the opener is 25 years old. DH likes an electric can opener though there’s no logic for that because I can’t recall the last time he opened a can. My original electric one was mounted under the cabinet, this one gets tucked away in a cupboard.

We have one very similar to that, works well. However, my wife is having trouble with using it, due to stiffness/weakness in her hands.
I'm probably going to buy this Hamilton Beach electric can opener from Amazon: Hamilton-Beach-76606ZA

For those that just use the comforter, how often do you wash them?

I have to wonder if we’re all describing the same thing when we say ‘comforter’. Mine is soft but no way would it be soft enough to be against this delicate body.

A duvet would be soft enough because the exterior is more like a sheet. Without a cover, it doesn’t look finished, IMO. When I washed the actual duvet, it was a colossal pain getting all the baffles equally balanced.

That was my question too...I love the feel of my comforter but it is so much easier to wash a top sheet than a comforter or duvet...

My summer comforter is so lightweight, ( the winter one is just slightly more bulky) it just comes off and into the wash much like a top sheet.. in fact I can even wash other things alongside it in the washing machine.. and then pop it into the dryer for a little while and it's done and back on the bed in less than 2 hours...
