Feb. 1st, 2009 09:17 pmDear Household Appliance Curse Operator (Sir, Madam, Your Majesty, Thingummy, Whatever)
You have done your job. Last year it was the stove, the hot water service, the refrigerator, the VHS, the lamp next to my bed, two desklamps and something else which I can't remember but which was important at the time. This year it has already been the set-top box, an electric toothbrush and the washing machine.
Be very pleased at such impressive results. Please, though, once I've got the washing machine sorted, could you give me five years of respite from things breaking down? I have a very short list of people who could benefit from this curse and a much longer list of people who have lists of those who would be far more tolerable if their lives held a little more hot water and less hot water service or washing machine.
Speaking of washing machines, it was very elegant for you to cause it to break down when full of water, but emptying it was a pest and now I want to do nothing except... no, I just want to do nothing.
Yours
Erstwhile owner of working household appliances (who has a phone call to a tradie to make tomorrow)
