The Possessed Washing Machine

When things break down in the house it has to be at the most in-opportunistic time...so eid is arriving and our washing machine broke down....*cue horror music*

My parents decided to go out on Sunday and get a brand new one....only hotpoint will do, they bought a washer and dryer, we installed it and it was looking all wonderful and innocent, sitting in its spot, brand spanking new, waiting to do the laundry and keep our clothes wonderfully clean....little did we know that our washing machine was possessed.....

We put on a wash and it was all going fine until it went on to the spin cycle....the machine started rocking and banging in to the pipes..not only that IT WALKED.....it literally moved around a foot forward and nothing you do could stop it...believe me I tried.....with all my might I pushed against the washing machine to keep it in place....my insides were vibrating, my arms were shaking, my tongue was hanging out and eyes were holding on to their sockets for dear life but it would not comply and then it started moving back in to its own position, this was through no effort of mine.....the machine itself started moving backwards in to its original spot until it hit the pipes at the back where it continued to 'head bang' ......this went on for around an hour and finally we thought it was going to do some damage to something so we paused it and took away it's life giving nectar...the electricity.....and again it sat their gleaming in its shiny 'newness', all innocent looking....pleading with us mentally 'please don't return me' .... but we will have no mercy that thing is going straight back to where it came from...hell......ehem...I mean Currys......
