No, I don't want or feel the need to buy overpriced laundry detergent. (Liquid detergent is like 70-80 or more percent water...) but what REALLY irks me is that they opened the page in the manual and circled various parts. Sheesh. I can't read, and I don't buy the right detergent. I was also picked last in kickball at school.
So, I'm now questioning whether or not to continue to do laundry with the "laundry nazis" checking my every move. I won't.
I've been thinking of a snarky comment or letter to write back to said "laundry nazis". I've been thinking of writing to ask them to buy me the special detergent to protect their machines that took them 9 months to install. This is just another strange problem I've had to encounter, along with a broken window, no fire escape for 3 or more months, air circulation problems with the solution being, "just open your window"... In the middle of winter? Thanks for the advice, but no.
I could write a snarky comeback, because that is the Facebook way- when someone offends you or you are criticised (constructively or not), your knee jerk reaction is to be snarky. I don't take criticism well, I confess. Oh- I can feel some of you roll your eyes...(damn snarky comment!) like this blog says, I'm in the pursuit not of perfection, but of patience. Taking critism (which seems to be building lately) is something I continue to struggle with and I'm hoping on getting better.
So will I be snarky back to my landlords??? I don't think I will. I think I may just go about my business, and hide my laundry detergent.
