Yeah, mine literally just has a dial that is only used to turn it on and off. No buttons, switches, anything. You just turn the dial like 0.2cm and it turns on.

It's therapeutic, for me anyway.

  It is funny that you describe it as therapeutic. I have several manual tasks that I would describe that way. Just not washing dishes. :)

    After coding all day, almost any manual labor will do. Washing dishes, mowing the lawn, helping a friend move, etc.

  I agree, wife and I wash most of our dishes, she washes, I dry. It's a great time to let your mind wonder and think about problems. Mindless tasks like drying dishes and scooping the cat box give me a chance to actually think about things in a no pressure environment.

    Just wait, kids change everything!

      Yup. They can then have the kids wash the dishes. ;-)

        It takes a few years to get to that stage :(

      Yup, having the first baby was when we got a dishwasher.

  Kind of like that for me. It takes ~10 minutes to prepare French press coffee, and since I can't really get too involved in anything away from the kitchen during this I find that I might as well wash whatever dishes are in the sink. My sink is right by the kitchen window and I can look out past our rose bushes and watch assorted wildlife gambol and frolic. (Mostly bunnies and birds.) Kind of idyllic I suppose if you ignore the all-same-look suburban houses. If there are a lot of dishes I'll wash certain things and load others into the dishwasher for later. But I sort of like washing dishes in my house.
