Does a man get confused between a washing machine and a tumble dryer?

I watched Loose Women this morning on ITV1 and were talking about washing machines and Coleen Nolan said her 'son tried to wash his clothes the other day but when he put the washing tablet in what he thought was a washing machine he panicked as he noticed there was no water washing the clothes' and Coleen said 'no thats not the washing machine, thats the tumble dryer (bless him)'
