A door sounds even less likely.

 

[1ForAll]

I don't think a window fits everything.

No, but good try.

Not that either.

 

[FayetheAspie]

Probably not blinds or shutters either?

No, but by some of your answers I think you likely understand correctly the "May...day" part.

It makes me think of a pilot notifying the control tower that their plane is crashing. That was why I guessed a cockpit cover.

Yes, think of Mayday as just meaning some emergency for the sake of this riddle. The 3 dots/periods between Mayday were just representing some Morse code.

 

[FayetheAspie]

Some kind of air vent?

Some kind of air vent?

No.

 

[FayetheAspie]

I think I'm out of ideas right now.

 

[1ForAll]

I think I'm out of ideas right now.

Ok. A clue for all is some liquid is involved in some way.

 

[FayetheAspie]

I give up unless someone else would like to guess. What is it?

 

[FayetheAspie]

I don't think anyone else is playing today. What is the answer? I can't think of anything else worth even mentioning.

Okay, so we're dealing of some device (maybe), used in the home by turning it or its switch counterclockwise. It's open (on?) except in specific, unsafe (?) circumstances, and has something to do with liquid.

Yes exactly, and the answer would be?

Final clue:

Left=Open=On
Right=Closed=Off
Off=Repair, inactive/No Use and Emergencies
On=Rest of time

 

[FayetheAspie]

A washing machine?

 

[FayetheAspie]

Hot water heater?

@FayetheAspie. Will accept your two answers as the win as you could be referring to the water shut off values there. I was mainly thinking of the hot and cold water shut off valves under the sinks.

Only on the water heater one.
I just meant the on off switch on the washing machine. I was just thinking of something that turns on and off and involved a liquid. Then I thought of the hot water heater and it's shut off valve and thought a hot water heater made more sense than a washing machine.
