On Tuesday I dropped my hairdryer and the casing fell apart. $60.00 for a new one.
On Thursday the electric kettle stopped working. $9.00 for an old fashioned stainless steel one to use on the stove.
Today the washing machine stopped working. I shudder to think how much that will cost…
The only one I’m annoyed about is the kettle. I don’t think we’d had it for more than 12 months. I’d had the hairdryer for, I think, 7 or 8 years and the casing was already held together with tape. We’ve had the washing machine for 6 years and this is the first time something’s gone wrong that we can’t fix ourselves. I’d just rather that they hadn’t all happened in the same week.
i’ve always thought washing machines were the worst for planned redundancy
