You are not in the wrong on this.............. kick her and your brothers BUTT.....take her outside and B-SLAP the fake blonde right out of her hair!!!!!!!!! this happened once with one of my brothers girlfriends......HELL has no fury like F**KING with my machines.....they both avoided me for several months after that, he even offered me new machines, and I was soo ticked I refused, I gave him advice in front of her, get a new girlfriend, she ain't WIFE material..... Louis ... stand your ground and let it be known ... and if they think your overreacting, take her car for a spin at 50mph, and then slam it into reverse, don't think I didn't do it, left it on the side of the road and walked home, then I cooled off and felt better....this idiot ended up being his 3rd wife for 6 months, I could have told him that the day the met.....why should it have suprised me, he's been married 5 times, wife number 2 and 4 were the same person, wife number 5 is girlfriend number 1...funny, different faces, all the same attitude....history repeats....as a joke at parties I introduce her as wife number 8, then I get corrected by them....like that makes world of difference!!!...lol |

Everyone at my house knows that if they so much as fold a wash cloth on my machines I will hunt them down and reduce them to tears! I specifically have one washer and one dryer that anyone can use and if they decide to use one of my machines... They won't live to tell the tale! A WEEK after I got my brand new $2,400 stainless steel Miele washer, my mom's husband's 32 year old son did laundry in the correct machine but decided to put his laundry basket on the brand new Miele and left a long DEEP scratch on the stainless steel top. I have not said a word to him since even though he lives with us. That was 2 or 3 years ago! One of my reasons for buying the dryer to stack on top of it was to cover the scratch up! |

Louis---If you feel like you overreacted, then tell her so. You don't even have to apologize, just let her know that you felt she had used the machine incorrectly, and that you'd appreciate it if she doesn't use the machine. Tell her that not only does overloading a machine shorten the lifespan of the washer, it's also bad for clothing and inhibits cleaning. Show her what a proper-sized maximum load looks like. I have a fair number of overnight guests during the summer months, and I always offer the use of my washers if they have some laundry they'd like done. I sometimes shake my head at how they choose to sort their loads, but as long as none of my clothes are involved, I just look away and close the laundry room door. If they aren't used to using a front-loader, I steer them toward using SA8, which won't oversuds. It seems it's almost impossible to suds-lock the Frigidaire top-loader, even with a quadruple dose of Tide. No matter what, I always maintain that human interactions/relationships trump washing machines. None of us want our machines abuse---especially if they are vintage---nor should be expected to tolerate it. But no machine (washer or otherwise) is worth a serious falling out with another person. Life is too short! |

she should think before overloading a washer i remember because i overloaded my 1993 inglis superb 2 washer i burn the moter we had to have a tech come in and fix the washer i think you had a right to be angry but getting back on topic maybe you should explain or put instruction not to overload a washer its better to do smaller loads witch makes a washer vintage or modern last longer than overload a washer and find yourself having to buy a new one because the 1 you have broke.

Except for the true housewives and domestic devas I know and love who keep their homes spotless and NEVER overload their washers,most females I know always overload their top loaders and go through them like throw away razors!!! One of the "valley girls' I know from Wiepio (YPO)Valley has a used direct drive Kenmore.She always overloads it and I just replaced the dogs and over rode her lid switch.She slams the door constantly and overloads it so severely that she,herself,adds water via hose to try and make the clothes overturn.Another girl from the valley brings her wash here and does in 3 washers what I would use 5 machines to wash.The last time she was here, I scolded her for even attempting to wash a queen size down comforter in my top loading SQs.I already overhauled two of them and just replaced the pump on another that had a feather pillow explode in it.Girls aren't majoring in any type of home economics at school anymore.They overload washers and dryers,use the wrong detergents,have no clue on how to bleach their whites white,don't even know what an egg cooker is or how it works and hate using a real mop and bucket with boiling hot water to scrub and sanitize the hard floors.They never set budgets nor do they ever blanch or freeze vegetables.Their mothers and grandmothers never tought them anything and they live at McDonalds,Subway,Wendies and Burger King.
