Gesture & etiquette
Point politely with an open hand towards the machine, not pointing with a single finger.
Do not touch other people's laundry roughly. In Japan, putting finished laundry into the provided plastic basket on top of the machine is common, but it's polite to ask if the owner is nearby.
