The 20 Worst Feelings You Experience When You Break An Appliance

From denying its broken to calling an experienced professional, these are the thoughts and feelings you know TOO WELL when it comes to appliance breakdown and repair.

1. Your jaw drops when you realize your beloved appliance is no longer working.

Why aren’t you WORKING?

2. You deny that it’s actually broken.

OKAY this happens like all the time.

3. But then you realize, this is NO joke.

OMG I can’t live like this!

4. And you curse the people responsible for making a faulty product.

I. WILL. HURT. YOU.

5. When the anger subsides, you think you can fix it yourself.

Let me take a whack at it.

6. So you give it a try…

How hard could this possibly be?

7. But you soon realize that you can’t.

This is more difficult than anticipated.

8. But then it dawns on you...

A repairman can fix this in a second!

9. You whip out your best manners and make a quick call.

Please. Please. Please. Yes. Thank You. Please.

10. But the technician will not be arriving for several hours.

A 5-hour window? Are you kidding me???

11. So you think about what you could do to pass the time.

The world is my oyster.

12. The first thing that comes to mind is food.

I could eat cereal for days.

13. Then you search around for additional entertainment.

Good old-fashioned fun. Perfect.

14. But alas, you’re still bored, and help has yet to arrive.

You call this service?

15. Finally, when the doorbell rings, you scream with excitement.

This is better than Christmas morning!

16. After letting him in, you follow him around to learn how to fix this on your own next time.

Hold up. What did you just do there?

17. But he’s an expert, and fixes it before you can figure out what was wrong.

Alright, maybe he knows what he’s doing.

18. ...but that doesn’t matter, because you’re back in action!

THANK. GOD.

19. He lets himself out of the house while you bask in the glory of modern science.

It’s so… beautiful.

20. Finally, once the dust has settled, you do some reflection...

I probably would have been fine anyways.

Do steps 10-14 sound all too familiar? There's nothing worse than the indefinite wait for a technician to arrive at your house. Heck, you've got things to do, and you shouldn't have to be a prisoner to your own home. Even worse than being late, they might arrive without the right tools, parts, or knowledge of what he's actually there to fix. These guys keep our world running. Think about suggesting ServiceMax to your tech to get him or her in and out of your home with speed, efficiency, and success.
