Right, because this week wasn't enough of a clusterfuck already, a failing laundry machine is exactly what I needed. 

Between being charged 40 Eu import fees for a shipment with a value of 22.10 Eu (10 cents over the limit due to "free" car charger I don't need or want) for parts to repair my phone that don't appear to fix the problem, a stomach bug that kept me from socialising with not one, not two, but *three* separate friends from out of the country only here for a very short while, a broken laundry machine is all I need right now.

Seriously, can I do anything without ruining it this week?
