- iamstudip, on 01/19/2009, -5/+125This is probably what transpired.
*repairman arrives at the home and attempts to fix the washer*
*woman locks the door*
*repairman thinks to himself, "Awww yeah, I got more game than Nintendo. We're gonna get it on porno style. Bow chica wow wow."
Woman: "Fix my *****, or I'm gonna nag your ear off."
*repairman thinks to himself, "Damnit! Of course I get the crazy bitch." *zips up his pants* - DouglasQ, on 01/19/2009, -3/+79A 42-year-old grandmother of two?
...Yeah, I know the type. - ThinkBox, on 01/19/2009, -3/+53DAILY MAIL! OMG IT MUST BE TRUE! DUGGGGGG!!!!!!
- XxbladesfirexX, on 01/18/2009, -6/+52'That made me even more angry. I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown by that point.'
Lady you have bigger problems than your washer machine being broken... - JamesBondJr, on 01/18/2009, -2/+37that's odd
- colonelbuckshot, on 01/19/2009, -3/+26Buried as Daily Mail.
- rhysboy84, on 01/19/2009, -3/+26Daily Mail's Editorial Comment: "Her state of mind of this hard working middle class white mother was obviously affected by the thieving gypsies at the washing machine company, once again destroying the moral fabric, and lowering house prices, in this New Labour Terrorist Hugging Britain we are living in today. We'd suggest she quit her job immediately, and spend all day cooking, cleaning and looking after her man. No sex though, as sex is wrong, and against the moral fabric of a white, middle class Britain."
Buried for Daily Mail. - freakish_beast, on 01/19/2009, -2/+23she got a washing machine in the end.....looks like kidnapping is the answer
- rsibayan, on 01/19/2009, -1/+22who honestly gives a toss about this womans wahing machine? dugg down for being utterly lame.
oh, and she didn't kidnap him...
"The repairman is thought to have been held hostage for no more than 15 minutes and by the time two uniformed officers arrived Mrs Fox had let him go."
She just threw a hissy fit and sold her story to the papers. I wish I could digg this down twice. - boothash, on 01/19/2009, -2/+22Buried for calling a washing machine repairman an 'engineer'.
- inactive, on 01/18/2009, -2/+21I can relate. He he he
- michaelpinto, on 01/19/2009, -6/+25This is a perfect example of "your terrorist is my freedom fighter".
- asgardshill, on 01/19/2009, -1/+17They have these things called laundromats (although I'm not sure if they're called the same thing in Britain). Anybody can use them. Been there done that - I was without a washing machine for 3 weeks once (they couldn't get the right belt which broke because I left a pair of hemostats in a shirt pocket and they bollixed up the machine but good). And I managed to survive with my trusty cup o' quarters until the thing was finally fixed.
There are too many wackjobs out there for this to be ha-ha funny; call it Theremin Music Playing Funny if you must. Holding somebody hostage, even for only 15 minutes, is a serious offense and the woman is very lucky she isn't scissoring with Bertha Diesel in some gaol cell. - AmyVernon, on 01/18/2009, -2/+16Seriously; after reading the story and seeing how long they'd screwed her around and having lots of laundry to do in our house, I can completely understand her state of mind. Not that I would have done it (I don't think!)....
- Chompy, on 01/19/2009, -0/+14"Fix my *****, or I'm gonna nag your ear off."
Instead of a porno it was like he got married. - inactive, on 01/19/2009, -0/+14F*** off with the Daily Mail spam.
- inactive, on 01/19/2009, -0/+12999 has been replaced.
Now it is: 0118 999 881 999 119 725 3 - RomeyRome, on 01/19/2009, -0/+11It's OK. I've seen baggers at grocery stores with "Bagging Technician" on their name tags.
- cleanyoungbob, on 01/19/2009, -0/+10She "kidnapped" him for 15 minutes? For once, the fact that this is a Daily Fail article is irrelevant:
Buried for just being rubbish. - sexybobo, on 01/19/2009, -0/+10It probably didn't help that your refrigerator wasn't broken.
- danklogix, on 01/19/2009, -1/+10Hey, next time I buy something and it breaks, I'll act like a douchebag and get something for free!
YOU KNOW, WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY!!! - jftitan, on 01/19/2009, -1/+10then you my friend never lived in a house to where washing two full loads a day, adds up pretty ***** quickly in two days.
I did a freelance, (ok a unemployed helpful guy thing) for a neighbor who had a broken washing machine and three kids. OMFG how clothes could pile up. It took just two weeks for the whole laundry room to fill up. glad I had rented a LG sideloading washer dryer set.
Personally I've been through something similar. Dishwasher.... yeah.... but at least we have a sink, and I'm typically a clean guy. clean the dishes right after using them. Thats a helpful thing when your single... but for a large family, dishes add up quick w/o a dishwasher - uberduger, on 01/19/2009, -0/+9Fail. You didn't find a way to insult the NHS. But an A+ for effort!
- djodorg, on 01/18/2009, -0/+8very
- inactive, on 01/19/2009, -1/+9lol... hadn't noticed that part :P Says it all.
- RomeyRome, on 01/19/2009, -0/+8It's not kidnapping if you can knock the kidnapper out & skip away.
- inactive, on 01/19/2009, -1/+8Why was a daily mail article submitted when there's a perfectly good BBC news version? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/wear/7836454.st ...
Seriously, stop submitting daily mail articles... - fretslide, on 01/19/2009, -1/+8Does anyone else found it hilarious?......I know i did :)
- breadfred, on 01/19/2009, -0/+7It's the Daily Trash, what do you expect.
- inactive, on 01/19/2009, -0/+6Someone kidnapped DailyFails journalists so they make things up.
- uberduger, on 01/19/2009, -0/+6Actually it's 0118 999 88199 9119 725 3.
It's not just the emergency services - it's *your* emergency services - inactive, on 02/25/2009, -1/+6ROFL @ 'more game than nintendo'
- juzsp, on 01/19/2009, -0/+5moral fabric? aren't you supposed to dry clean that?
- kelchm, on 01/19/2009, -0/+5Sensationalism at its best...
- inactive, on 01/19/2009, -0/+5No, only if the threat is itself lethal.
- novemberRed, on 01/19/2009, -0/+5she looks stoned
- Godlike, on 01/19/2009, -0/+4Trust me weird ***** is not limited to the UK.

- Secretion, on 05/04/2009, -0/+4No. My question: Is there a way we could get some news about somebody other than Bush or Obama on the Political News page?
- Senji, on 01/19/2009, -1/+5YOU SHALL NOT PAASS!!!!
- Robotsscareme, on 01/19/2009, -0/+442 year old grand mother of 2??? wow..does 2 loads or more of laundry a day???Prone to taking hostages? What goes on at your house?
- rodrigo74, on 01/19/2009, -0/+4I actually LOL'ed. Dugg.
- splorpdotorg, on 01/19/2009, -1/+5your = possession
you're = you are
If you're going to call someone retarded, learn the difference. - linagee, on 01/19/2009, -0/+4Technically, a small amount of laundry can also be washed in the sink. Plug it up, fill it with water and some detergent. Place in a few clothes. Agitate for half an hour or more. Rinse all the soap out and wring the clothes. Repeat rinse. Have a clothesline (go to any store and get some cord and hang it outside.) and clothespins to put the clothes to dry. This is basically what your washer/dryer does, just faster and in more quantity.
- inactive, on 01/19/2009, -1/+5Look everyone, an enlightened internationalist.
- Chompy, on 01/19/2009, -0/+3The fact that it's generally a mistake, and that it happened with the next generation doubles the chances.. especially since everyone still seems to be living in the same house.
- Teh1337Pirate, on 01/19/2009, -1/+4This is why inbreeding is illegal
- wassim2k, on 01/19/2009, -0/+3The Onion?
- 1nhuman, on 01/19/2009, -0/+3We had similar problems. I think you underestimate the problem.
First off we live in the country, we have three kids (one baby) and two dogs of which one dog has puppies. I'm usually working late and my wife has to cope with these kind of situations by herself.
Belief me, it's not easy to drop kids at school, care for a baby and dogs with puppies, having to drive 30 minutes to go into town and wash at a laundromat (wasting time waiting for it to finish btw) and do all the other chores she has to do.
We bought a Miele top of the line washer to sure to have a quality product, but it turned out to be ***** anyway and broke down. It had it's computer replaced a couple of times, lock replaced etc. Usually the repair guys don't seem to have a clue. I can't deal with them myself because I'm at work, so usually I come home to find they fed my wife some ***** story. And I don't even want to mention the ridiculous prices they charge.
Anyway, me and my wife can relate to this story. -
