monster sarcasm rally

I bought some new toys! It was exciting. I got a dishwasher and a washing machine. Oh, and some pants, but whatever...

The washing machine works great! I took some clothes out of it and — lo and behold — they smelled all pretty and, like, not mouldy. It's so awesome. I ran all around the house telling people. Mostly they just looked at me funny. Especially the dogs, they seemed to think I was crazy or something.

Sadly, the dishwasher was formerly owned by some dude named Murphy. I got it into the kitchen and promptly discovered the tap wasn't the same size as the connector thingy.

Off to Home Depot we went. Of course, I somehow spent $70 on I don't even remember what, including two tap adapters. Neither worked.

Today I went to another hardware store and bought two more adapters, in the hopes that one of them would fit. Surprisingly, the first one I tried fit perfectly. Sweet!

I turned the tap on. Water fountained out of the base of the taps and sprayed all over the kitchen.

Grr. Argh.
