Don't Let My Silly Hubby Help You Prepare For Your New Washing Machine Delivery

I'm getting a new washing machine tomorrow. Yippee!! The one we have, God rest it's soul, just doesn't spout out much water any more. It spouts a small trickle and takes all day long to do a small load of wash.

So we finally broke down and got a new one. As the delivery guy is coming tomorrow dear, sweet, silly hubby of mine decided he'd go out and unhook the washer for the guy. Only problem is he didn't turn the water off before he unhooked the hoses!!

Which reminds me of one of the classic stories of my dear, sweet, silly hubby:

The same washing machine wasn't working quite right. No water was coming out at all. Hubby said, "You should call a washing machine fix-it guy to come out and fix it." So I did. The washing machine repair guy had an easy call. He said, "Ma'am, it helps if you have the water turned on."

I paid $70.00 for a guy to turn the water back on to the washing machine!! Turns out my silly hubby had turned the water to the washing machine off that weekend when he was fiddling around rearranging stuff in the garage!!

Serves him right tonight to get saturated in water for NOT turning the water off.

Oh man this sounds like something my silly hubby would do. Do wish I could have seen his face as the water was shooting at him. LOL.

Is it me or do all husbands do dumb stuff like that when they think they can be handy?

RookieRuggertLSU - not sure. I don't remember my dad (a husband) ever doing dumb stuff like that. Although I'm sure my mother would disagree.
