The death of a washing machine
June 6th, 2007 by The Bosphorus
I see over in the shout box that I’m one half the reason for the sucky nature of the intarwebs today. I have to disagree as I think it’s a conspiracy on the part of the foul force that slayed our twenty year old washing machine. What lowlife would kick such an elderly machine? It’s wrong, so wrong.
Really, I think the machine gave up the ghost after the second load of cloth diapers because it saw the writing on the wall. It realized the loads and loads of crappy laundry in its future spelled the end of its leisurely existence. So it fell on its own agitator cycle and died.
The new washing machine is supposed to be delivered sometime between 11am and 3pm tomorrow. We should have it by eight that evening.

Nothing sadder than death by agitator cycle. Such a waste.

Aren’t you supposed to shake those suckers out before you run em thru the wash cycle? Who can blame the poor machine after all?

Yeah… take the machine’s side. I see how it is.

The misery of a washing machine in a family of six… we didn’t even get 20 years out of the first one. Hopefully though, the second one will last until we’re reduced to a household of two.
