Are Your Appliances Out to Get You?

Are there any items in your home that just seem to jump out and tag you when you least expect it? Cute sneak attacks from pets are always welcomed.


I'm about ready to throw my stove over the balcony. Last night I was mid arm-swing in a determined trek to the fridge when I tagged the side of the handle on the oven door with all of my might; it's very sore today. A couple of months prior to this, I burned the back of the same hand and gave myself a second degree burn while trying to take something out of the oven. I've also had a computer monitor catch on fire for no reason whatsoever. Or so it seemed. It was probably a dust bunny, but still. It scared me half to death. This was right about the time Final Destination had been released and I watched it for the first time the night before.

My whole house is out to get me! I seriously think we have a ghost in our basement. I hear doors slam at night down there. Things ate always missing and my animals bark at the floor all the time! I always call us the Adams family because the weirdest things always happen around here!

Funny, my neighbors are having a round of "piss off Sapphire by slamming the door as hard as we possibly can" as I type this. I kind of believe in ghosts and stuff, I've definitely seen things I can't explain. But man, to have it in the basement would totally freak me out! I'd have to move! Hahaha

Been here for 8 years and who ever it is down there moved in with us. Our neighbors have security lights on the perimeter of their house and the lights shine into our bedroom like a UFO is landing every time a stray cat walks by! Neighbors suck sometimes!!

Ah, that's a bit different; my dad has one of those. There's a long, long story behind it and I'm not really even sure it's a true story but I know my ex step-mother will never forget the day she was taking a shower and the toilet flushed with no one in sight.

Oooh the shadowmen. Yep, definitely seen that! Woke up from a dead sleep and screamed bloody murder because I couldn't believe what my eyes were seeing. I'm not afraid of the dark, but that could have converted me! Guess it's no worse than the cat watching, eh?

I always just think they're jealous and maybe a bit curious as to what all of the fuss is about!

Oh my, yes. We've a tumble dryer high up, so that the door is head height, and we store nappies for the kids down there. Often I lean down to get one for my niece or nephew (or me, if I plan on going to the movies) and when I stand up it swings out and bangs me on the head! This other time, I was looking in the freezer, found what I was looking for, stood up, banged my head on the fridge door (I swear I hadn't opened it beforehand) fell backwards to bang my head again but this time on the cooker door, only for the top cooker drawer to open and bang me upside the head!

The stove was out to get me for some time, but I think it was because I was using the microwave too much. XD

my AC is out to get me. 1 day, it won't work & will be 85 degrees till about 4 in the morning when it finally cools down. once i plan to go in to report it to the property manager, it works again the next day. the next time it stops working, i'm going in & telling them, hey, go fix that stuff even if it starts to work again. same thing happened w/ my fan. it stopped working, so i put in a work order. i pushed it & it started working again. the guys came in & said the motor on it was about done & the next time it stops working to let them know b/c they ordered a new motor for it. that was a few months ago, it hasn't acted up since.

Maybe out to get my wallet. My microwave died on me this year.

Haha, I'm not sure which is worse. Microwaves tend to go all Exorcist when they get ready to die.

Ugh! My hot water heater busted and messed my whole place up! I'm still dealing with the aftermath. How 1 hot water heater could cause so much misery, I will never know. The people downstairs are not very happy with me right now.
