My washer and dryer is located on the first floor, off the living room. The room has a sink, toilet, shower stall and a spot next to the shower stall of equal width and depth for an up and down washer and dryer. On the opposite side of the shower stall is a cubby hole where I have some shelving and a big ass window with frosted glass on the bottom pane.

I'm not going to go into the fact that we don't have a medicine cabinet there. There USE to be one, but the previous owner decided to take it with them and did a half-assed job of plastering up the wall. You can see the outline of chicken wire.

I still find that incredibly rude and I'm pretty sure they weren't allowed to take it with them, but whatever. Between the two ugly white globed lights that showcase where the medicine cabinet SHOULD be, there is a big flat mirror to cover up the crappy plastering job. One day I'll figure out what I want to do with the room and take it from there.

Anyway...
We don't have an up and down washer/dryer set and since I just bought our current washer and dryer less than four years ago - we decided to cram it into the space it wasn't built for.

My former husband and I sorted some laundry to do and turned the washing machine on and sat down on the couch to try to decide what movie we were going to watch. We finally got all comfortable and that's when we heard it...

BANG BANG BANG
what in the hell...

This is the lovely sound that the washing machine was making assaulting the dryer.

Then it got louder...

BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG
BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG
BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG
BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG
BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG

I was waiting for it to greet us in the living room.

My ex looked at me.
I whispered, "How much longer could it possibly go on for?"

This is when it decided to kick into turbo charge...

BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG
BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG
BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG
BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG
BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG

Good Lord.

We sat there staring at each other waiting for it to just stop.
It didn't.

He got up to go check on it as I yelled, "WHO THE HELL LET US OWN A HOUSE?! WE CAN'T EVEN OPERATE A WASHING MACHINE!"

Right as he opened the door to the room it became quiet and shut itself off. His response back to me was, "It's fine now".

I said, "BECAUSE IT'S BROKEN!"
it isn't, but it was perfect timing...

Okay...
Maybe you had to be there....
