Friday 55 Flash Fiction # 67 Broken

Broken

I can’t do it anymore.


I try but after a few minutes I have to give up.



You keep pushing my buttons and I keep trying




But I just can’t do it.


No amount of swearing and cursing will make any difference.


*&%$!!!

Just get the repairman out….

I’m a dishwasher that needs a new part!





Friday 55 Flash Fiction is brought to you by G-man (Mr Knowitall). The idea is you write a story in exactly 55 words. If you want to take part pop over and let G-man know when you've posted your 55.

  1. Thanks for making me laugh - this is so, so true, ridiculous really, isn't it? We spend longer rinsing, stacking and unloading than we would actually spend if we just washed the darn dishes ourselves!

  2. That reminds me. I really, really need a new dishwasher. You could have been writing about mine!

    Peace - D

  8. Ya know... I never considered that before, but you're probably right. Considering the number of things that can't go in the dishwasher that we wind up washing by hand anyway... what's a few extra plates?

  10. OMG...this is SO cute, Akelamalu!

    I think I've only ever had one dishwasher in an apartment, YEARS ago and I barely ever used it.

    (cause you KNOW how much I love to cook!!?!)

    So agree with Mr. Dishwasher here. It took me less time to do my dishes than he.

    Great Friday 55, dear lady!

    LOVED it!!!!

    Have a great weekend!

  12. I read a study that suggested it took less water to run your full dishwasher than it did to wash your dishes by hand. I don't know if that's true or not.

  13. Precisely Buff!

    We put as much in the dishwasher as we can but there's always something that you just have to wash by hand isn't there Mojo? :(

    MWM freaked Ciara!

    LOL I use lots of pans and other stuff when I cook Ron. MWM often asks if I've been to the neighbours collecting washing up there's so much!

    Don't you cook much Salute?

    I read that too Trav, I thing its much more hygenic using a dishwasher!

    ReplyDelete
  14. Ahhhh....so very true!!! And I never mind doing them if someone else will cook. :)

    ReplyDelete
  15. Funny and so true! Still - I sometimes just loathe washing them by hand.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Ah, I'm just the opposite RLL I love the cooking but not the washing up!

    Glad you liked it Sally :)

    I loathe washing them by hand, it's all I can do to load the dishwasher Aims!
