Fucking refrigerator

The BBQ Pit
1

So I went shopping yesterday - I was out of everything. Come home after spending a small fortune, happily put my stuff away, in the fridge, in the freezer. Make spaghetti sauce with sausage and meatballs and everything, put it in the fridge for a couple days. Get up this morning, have a glass of tomato juice, make my lunch, cut a piece of cheese. Everything’s cool - literally - cool. Look at the spaghetti, looks good! Maybe I won’t wait till Wednesday to have the spaghetti, though I’d planned on leftover shit on a shingle tonight, or maybe shrimp.

Get home tonight, reach in the fridge: Hmm, this beer’s kinda warm. The shelf’s kind of warm to. Look at the setting: 5 1/2, just where it belongs. Milk’s warm, too. Oh shit. Open the freezer: Shrimp is soft. Tiny ice cubes are floating in a pool of water. Ice cream is soup, and not even concentrated soup. Oh shit, shit. Back to the fridge: Sandwich meat is warm, about to begin an experiment for the replacement of penicillin. Veggies are, well, hothouse veggies, so to speak. Oh shit, shit, shit! Spaghetti sauce is… I’m about to turn 47 years old, I don’t think my heart could take it to look at the sauce. My leftover shit on a shingle is toast. Oh shit, shit, shit, shit.

FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT GODDAMN FUCKING SON OF A BITCH ASSHOLE FUCKING STUPID REFRIGERATOR!

I will, of course, request management to reimburse me for my food, which luckily, I still have the receipt for. Well except for beer and soda which can be saved. And stuff I bought before yesterday. Let’s all hold our breath waiting for This Year’s Model to be reimbursed for his food. You can start anytime, I’ll be along shortly.

On the bright side, maintenance came over immediately and cheerfully to replace my refrigerator with one from upstairs. AND let me scavenge parts from the old one. I now have enough ice cube trays, egg holders, and shelf dividers for any three normal people. And the new (not really new) fridge is sitting in my kitchen, humming happily away. But I think it’s humming “Heat Wave”. I’m worried.

I was really looking forward to that spaghetti.

I really am sorry to hear about the fridge and the grub, but there is something about the thread title combined with your user name that just don’t seem right.

Fucking refrigerator
This Year’s Model

Let’s hope next year’s model is better than **this ** year’s model. :stuck_out_tongue:

Your landlord reimburses you for the spoiled food in a malfunctioning fridge? Wow! I never heard of that before.

No, they don’t. I should say haven’t - this is the third time it’s happened in three different places. But I still figure it won’t hurt to ask. I think I need to buy my own fridge and trundle it around with me.

Ashkicker, wait till I rant about my car!

Do you have Renter’s or Homeowner’s insurance? Often they cover lost food. Even all the T-Bones, lobster tails and various other high-end items you may have forgotten to mention. :wink:

That really sucks - especially the fucking refrigerator’s timing and all. Fucker was just waiting on you to load it up, then whammo. Sucks.

Aww, I feel for ya. I once lost about 16 gallons of breast milk (in 4 ounce packages)in a deep freeze when the coolant line ruptured.

Just be glad you weren’t gone for the weekend like I was when that happened. Have you ever smelled what catfish, chicken breast and shrimp smell like after 3 days?

I’m actually pumping as I read this thread…and the thought of losing 16 gallons makes me go :eek: !

I second LilyoftheValley :eek:

duffer, I hadn’t thought of that, but it would take an awful lot of caviar to get it up past my deductible.

Thanks for the sympathy, all.
