So someone came this morning to fix our refrigerator. Except that it wasn't the refrigerator that was broken, it's the outlet for the refrigerator. So he ran an extension cord to another outlet, and voila. I happened to come back from the gym while he was getting ready to leave, and he asked me repeatedly, "Why didn't you just test another outlet? Why didn't you just run an extension cord like I did?"
Well, duh. Of course I feel like a dumb shit now. And also, shut the fuck up, OK? Sweet jebus, man.

It seems too big and important to just plug in somewhere else. Like, it's in a different catrgory of objects.
