Today, I found out why we've had to replace 3 washing machines this year. My sister thinks that "huge capacity" means "load the washing machine until no more clothes will fit." It blows the motor every time. She's 31. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, after spending $300 replacing a dryer and getting the vents cleaned out when our tenants complained their clothes weren't getting dry, my husband and I realized that it was actually the washing machine that was broken. FML
Today, while a very cute girl was explaining the apartment's laundry machines to me, I blurted out, "It's okay, my pants are used to handling huge loads". FML
Today, I learned that my mother counts my jeans as two pairs when she counts how many she's putting in for a load of wash. I've gotten that fat. FML
Today, I got stuck in my washing machine. When my sister saw me, she just left me there. FML
Today, I noticed that my clothes had shrunk. My mother seemed to be having trouble with the new washer and dryer so I tried to show her exactly how they work. After my explanation she said, "I know how they work. I shrank your clothes to give you some incentive to lose all that belly you got." FML
Today, I got a new washer and dryer set. It's sad when all you have to do at night is make popcorn and watch the clothes washing. I even invited friends over. FML
Today, at the laundromat. I loaded a huge load into the top dryer, put all the quarters in, and started the bottom one. I realized my mistake when I came to check on it. FML
Today, after my washing machine broke yesterday in the middle of a cycle, I went and spent $1400 on a new one. Also today, my dryer started to smoke and almost caught my clothes on fire. There goes another $1000. FML
Today, my dryer was finally repaired after not working for over a month. I did one load of laundry and my washer stopped working. Another day, another $400+ repair bill. FML
Today, I finally got around to doing laundry. The washing machines in my condominium building take about an hour to do a load. When I returned to throw my clothes in a dryer, I realized they were never washed in the first place. I used my card and detergent to pay for another person's laundry. FML

Wow! She's a special kind of stupid isn't she? Make her read the instruction manual next time. Jesus.

So does she fill her mug with coffee till it's overflowing? She's 31, it's time to grow up. Make her pay for it. She will understand real quick what the problem was

She sounds like the reason they put those do not eat labels on some soap and shampoo these days.

But .. It's so foamy. Delish.

Maybe you should make her use a laundrette so when she breaks the machine there she will be charged and hopefully that will make her learn her lesson. Other than that buy a smaller one next time so she is forced into not cramming it full

You could possibly be just as stupid as OP's sister. Do you really think she wouldn't stuff a smaller machine a full as she can?

Wow. I hope you taught her and she bough a new one herself.

Someone was trying to be frugal ;)

Install a coin operated thing on your machine and make sure it takes only 20's so when it happens again she is paying for it. Would also deter her from using machine at 20's a load. Don't forget to put in a "FILL TO HERE" line.

Surely if she has to pay per load, she'll want to put more in each load, so that would make the problem worse. I completely fill the washing machine when I do laundry, and it doesn't break. I guess because it's a huge industrial machine (it's for the whole apartment building.) I'll have to bear this FML in mind when I move somewhere else and get my own, probably-worse-quality washing machine.

Why does she use yours?

To be FAIR, a lot of people have no idea how to work electronics and/or appliances. From working in big box electronic stores, I have stories you wouldn't believe happened with negligent customers. Annnnnd that's why you get accidental coverage.

That reminds me of one time when I was watching Judge Judy - They had a defendant on there who said she didn't know that you shouldn't put metal in a microwave oven, and she also didn't know that tin foil was a metal.

You're kidding, right? What did you think tin is?
