I have a very strange question about washers, dryers and the Middle East. - eviltoast

I was having a chat with some friends and we were talking about how, in the U.S. at least, washers are usually on the left and dryers on the right and why that might be. Someone pointed out that we wash first and then we dry. But then someone else pointed out that we are sort of primed to think in left-to-right terms already since that’s the direction in which we read. So here is my question:

Are washers usually on the right and dryers on the left in the Middle East?

    In Tennessee Water left, Dryer right. Florida, Dryer left, washer right. Let’s be real. Its however drunk the fucker is who cuts the exhaust/ electric holes

    In my rental, they built it in 2018, I moved in in 2021 and we cut a hole for the dryer exhaust in 2022. Now most would say it should have been a fire before then. Those people were thankfully wrong. Took me almost a year to realize the vent did not exist… I assumed whoever hooked up the first dryer… uh check or the worker did their job

    (I keep an annual don’t fuck this shit up list, it was on there thankfully)

    Original hole was through the wall, down below the house and never exited. So Iy just filled “free space” below
