1. Your microwave is making loud noises, sparking and shooting flames. And now has a charred hole inside. What? I have to heat things up on the stove? I'm not even sure I know how. When I asked R1 if, instead of buying a new microwave, we should just learn to live without it, he said he wasn't sure if that kind of life was even worth living.
2. As you are putting on the parking brake, the handle pops off, and you are unable to successfully reattach it. And you just noticed that the left turn signal only sometimes works. Our Jeep is only 12 years old. Sheesh.
Don't these types of things come in threes? I am keeping a sharp eye on our other appliances. You know, the same eye I use for W1 and L1 that says, "Don't even think about it."

I love R1's response to trying to live without an microwave. I laughed out loud. I find it hard to remember back to my childhood without a microwave. Did we just not eat leftovers?
The parking brake came off?! Wow. I'm crossing my fingers that number three doesn't ever happen.
We had the microwave trick happen a couple of weeks ago—well, minus the sparks, plus a rice sock that had been in about ten minutes too long. My amazing wife was able to keep the notorious fire alarms from going off and clean the microwave out completely, good as new (plus an occasional, faint burnt-popcorn smell). The sort of things you can't script, you know?
