The washing machine is broke.

Well, not exactly broken. But it might as well be.
It takes me a full day to do one load, since it gets stuck every step of the way for at least an hour before the dial clicks into the next step of the cycle. Kind of annoying, since it's hard to predict when it'll get stuck, and i don't like the idea of sitting in front of the washing machine all day acting as a safety net.
It might be a reason why the electricity bill has sky rocketed in recent months. I shouldn't complain, a friend of mine had a washing machine that loaded up on water with no clothes inside, and as soon as he opened the little door it all came flooding out. Then again, he washes his sneakers in there sometimes, so he had it coming. Sneakers in a spin cycle at 4000 rpm? I wouldn't wanna be his washing machine.

Best thing that ever happened to me throughout my washing career.. i found an unopened can of beer next to the laundry detergent in the cupboard underneath the sink. Wonder how that got there?
Happy day.
