The Humidifier Part 2

The Humidifier Part 2

I recently posted about a fight I had with our bedroom humidifier.  This is the contraption that only Mrs. C fills every night as when I touch it, it malfunctions.  A few weeks ago, Mrs. C was away and I could not get the contraption to work without giving it a quick kick.

The other night Mrs. C had trouble with the dang thing.  She filled it and hit the switch and it did not come on.  I told her to kick it and that didn’t work.  I then emptied the base of its residual water, replaced the water container and turned it on…it worked!

In the past Mrs. C has claimed that whatever I touch gets busted.  I really wanted to rib her about the fact that it would not work for her either and that in fact I fixed it, but I know better than to poke the bear and left well enough alone.

Tonight, the humidifier again refused to work without a lot of fussing around with it.  I commented,

“I don’t know why it does that, it doesn’t make any sense does it?”

“No, it doesn’t.”

“I must say though, it makes me feel a little better that you have a problem with it also, it proves it is not just me.”

“Well there was never a problem until you touched it!”

When I win, I still lose.

At least she didn’t call me a jerk.
