I Broke the Fridge and Freezer Part II

We got a new fridge and its very exciting. Most important, however, is that I learned an extremely valuable lesson. For those who don't remember I broke the last fridge when I defrosted the freezer with a hammer and screw driver. It turns out that method of defrosting is suboptimal and yields a high probability of breaking the unit. Which coincidentally is the most effective way to defrost the freezer.

The valuable lesson that I learned is that breaking stuff in a rental can lead you to getting new and better stuff for free - like getting a newer, bigger, full-sized fridge. This is a great discovery and one which I can't believe has taken me 32 years to learn.

But, to be honest is wasn't totally free. I tipped the fix-it guy $10 to write-up in the report that I didn't break the fridge. OK, OK, OK - to be completely honest I actually told the fix it guy that it was Emma who broke the fridge and then gave him $10 to write the report. He stressed that using a hammer and screw driver on electrical appliances is a poor idea. Point taken. But what do you expect from women! They just aren't as good with these technology things as dudes are. It's not their fault. They're better at washing dishes, ironing, and gossip while dudes are better at useful things.

Another important lesson is to learn these lessons while I'm a renter rather than an owner. So, when I own the fridge I will now know to not treat it like the Himalayas.

To show everyone why I love the new fridge so much I have posted pictures below of the broken fridge and the replacement fridge.
