Is red with embarrassment

Why? Well...the repairguy came by for a visit to see what was wrong with the clothes dryer. It turned out that the switch (the one on the wall, you flick it when the power goes out, etc) was only half way clicked, not all the way. There are two fuses. One for the motor, one for the heating element. The one for the heating element wasn't switched on, but the motor one WAS. And I DID flick the stupid fuse switch, I DID. And it STILL didn't work!

So, I shelled out the money for the visit and felt all stupid and red over it. Live and learn.

there is a silver lining to this..... at least you didn't have to buy a new dryer? *hugs*

Yeah, there is that. Although I have to admit, the prospect of a shiny new appliance just sent me over the moon with romantic Mothers' Day possibilities, you know?

If I acted all smug and pretended that has never happened to me, would you believe it?

Our gadgets used to do the same thing. I had this old riding mower that was very tricky and sensitive. It wouldn't start for me, but it would start for my dad. I'd do the same things he'd do, he'd be standing there watching me, and the mower wouldn't crank! He couldn't understand it either.

However, when I was mowing the lawn and the mower crapped out on me and wouldn't restart, all I'd have to say is "I'm getting dad," and it'd crank right up. It's very weird. The only time that trick didn't work was when the points in my car did something or stopped doing something and my car wouldn't crank.

Totally believe you! It's a conspiracy! ;)
