Kelly vs. The Washing Machine

[Bambi]

So, it all started when my old one broke mid wash, and I accidentally bought the new one which mother had to pay half toward because I'm a comlplete and utter bam

Decided to drunkenly unplumb it on a Friday night ..... pulled the pipes off...water everywhere, flooded kitchen fail. Although, seeing Andy get a face full of water to the face was the highlight of my evening

New washing machine gets delivered and that brings its fair share issues

Being the man I am, Im like, yeah, I can fit this myself

Did my back in pulling the fucker out of the packaging

So, I have a read of the instructions, and I have to remove 3 bolts from the back of it. I gets transit bolt number one out. Go to get the other 2, onlY to realise my spanner aint fitting in the gap....i have like, 20 fuckign spanners as well, not ONE fit. So, I had to pull the back off the washing machine and do it that way

Victory

Then Im looking at this water pipe Ive been given, thinking, why have they only provided one, when i HAVE 2 attached from my old one.... the fuck?
So, I think about it for a while.... just getting confused to fuck. I was informed off the dad that new washing machines only came with a cold water pipe now. Orite I say. SO i remove the hot water pipe, make sure the tap is turned off and im good to go. Then like a spaz, i attached the old water pipe to the washing machine turned the tap back on and was like. Ah shit. WRTONG PIPE

Turned the tap off. Removed the pipe. FACE FULL OF WATER AND FLOODED KITCHEN AGAIN Then the tap for said pipe BROKE and was leakign all over the show

So i had to get a repair man to fix the fuckign thing

Finally get that sorted, attach the right pipe, get it all set up and ready, accidentally turn the fucker on when im pushing it into its new home...so I have to wait for it to do its 'wash' before I can put a load in

Firtst ever load in the machine, guess which dick head forgot to check the pockets....MONEY IN MY NEW WASHING MACHINE, RATTLING ABOUT MOCKING ME. I then witnessed said 20p drop down the drum, which will take it to some waste trap thingy

This gave me an idea about my old washing machine...

Opens up the waste trap.....

WATER. SPEWED. EVERYWHERE. I didnt think about the washingmachine still being full of water from the last wash it was on when it broke...its fucking empty now

And what did i get for my troubles? 16p and a few rusty hair grips

Put another load in the machine before, guess who forgot to check the pockets again and guess what was rolling around inside my NEW WASHING MACHINE making grinding noises

Stay tuned folks, I'm sure this can't be the end of this story

That's what you get for money laundering /wit

EDIT - btw did all the flooding mess up your floor? I know the tiles in my kitchen can't take a flood

 

[Bambi]

Nah its been fine, I was just mopping it all up for years

 

[Amizon]

This should be entitled "Kelly Rage Against The Washing Machine".

Keep me informed, Kelly! I want to hear more about your misfortunes with the accursed thing.

 

[Kandy-Sugar]

Ugh I hate it when you leave stuff in your pockets.

I never have money in my pockets though thankfully. It's always tissues.

Though I've been very good at always checking pockets before I put a load on.

Steve always has lighters and pens in his pockets.

But yeah...tissues are the worst. Soggy paper shit all over your nice clothes.

But I can't believe you did it twice. XD I would have been so angry with myself. >.<

Actually I think pens are worse. I remember one time years ago I accidentally left a pen in my pocket and when it came out, there was ink all over the pocket. Either way, I learned my lesson and always check my pockets. Don't you just love laundry day?

By the way, I'm betting on the Washing Machine winning this one.

 

[Oliver Queen]

Pens are the worst. I leave pens in my pockets from school all the time, but most of the time, someone notices them in there and takes them out. When the pen went through MY wash, it didn't leave ink on the pocket, it left it everywhere else instead, ruining a couple nice shirts.

And Vircon, I bet $20 that Kelly will win this battle.

 

[Channizard]

Wait, is this a Washing Machine.. or a Dish washer? You keep Washing Machine's in your kitchens?

 

[Bambi]

where else would I keep a washing machine

And yeah, tissue is the worst, or just anything paper in general in your pockets, bits of white crap stuck everywhere

 

[Kandy-Sugar]

where else would I keep a washing machine

There's this thing called a laundry. =0

But yes I was actually doing the laundry this afternoon and I did leave tissues in my pockets. Luckily for me I had enough time to turn the machine off and take out the pants. Then I saw that I even left my name badge on my top.

$10 for a new one if I ruined it. =0

I ALWAYS check pockets. This thread has jinxed me now. =/

 

[Bambi]

Us Brit folk keep our washing machines in the kitchen, mostly because there's no where else to put them xD

I had a sucessful wash this afternoon, though it WAS only a single quilt that I had apparently spilled wine on. Im appalled that I dont recal doing this but yeah

I still need to pull the washing machine back out and get that 20p out of the back

 

[Oliver Queen]

At least you actually got to use it before it breaks, right? I think that counts for something.

 

[Bambi]

A woman rang me up before askignif i wanted to purchase a 5 year warranty for it and I said no.....

watch that come back to haunt me

 

[Oliver Queen]

Knowing your luck though, the warranty would expire, THEN the machine would break. But since you didn't do it, it'll break tomorrow.

It's called a laundry room, but yes. That's where washing machines SHOULD be kept.

That's how it always works. Companies always give you a warranty that's within the life expectancy of their product... after that, it dies within a year. =/

 

[Amizon]

That happens a lot with electronics. I had an accident with my first laptop, but the guarantee had gone past its date and I just had to go and get a new one. Guarantees seem to expire by the time you get around to breaking the damn things. You're gonna need all the luck in the world for this one, Kelly. xD

 

[Bambi]

I finally got the old washing machine out of the house the other day, not before making a scratch on my flooring and dropping it on my toe though

Also, i need to get the instructions out for this fucking new one, Im doing summat wrong, because its not doing a very good job of getting things clean, my old one NEVER had an issue with paint, now my favourite jeans have acrylic on them and it wont wash out

 

[Kandy-Sugar]

^^ Our washing machine is like that too.

When I was at home mums washing machine worked like magic!

Steve and I have a cheaper one and if I want to clean something with stains I have to handwash/scrub it first and then stick it in the washing machine.

Doesn't matter what liquid products I buy for the washing machine it still doesn't do the job. =/

 

[Oliver Queen]

Could it possibly be the cheapness of the washing machine, Kandy? That seems like an awful lot of work to do in order to get stains, etc. out of clothes.

But, you gotta do what you gotta do.

 

[Kandy-Sugar]

Haha it was $400 down to $200 with the water rebate scheme they had going for a while, so I guess you could say it was cheap even at full price. XD

My parents go all out and buy the best of the best when it comes to that sort of stuff.

I have the time to do a bit of extra scrubbing so I'd rather do that and save a few extra bucks rather then spending it on a more expensive washing machine. =P
