Today, my furnace broke down, almost a month after its twenty year warranty expired. It would have been replaced for free. Now I'm going to have to take out a loan to afford the $4,000 replacement. FML

it always works the way, things break right after the warranty is up.

... Yes it's sucks, but why so you think the company puts a warranty on things? Cause that about how long they last before the object will break from use. You need to look ahead and saves up if the warranty expires in 10 years that's how long you have to save up for a new one. It's like an expiration date. If it last longer your lucky.

#24, and OP: While planning ahead to buy a replacement is always a good idea, not everything is built to last only as long as its warranty. When something dies so immediately after its warranty expires, it's worth contacting the company and finding out whether they'd still honor it or would at least offer a repair/replacement discount. At the worst, they'll say no, but many companies will go the extra step -- especially when you're otherwise about to switch brand loyalties to buy a new one from anyone other than them, and will tell all and sundry about your frustrating experience with that company's product.

OP should have just broke the furnace his/herself two months BEFORE the warranty expired!!

@10 two months is suspicious, try 5 years.

#2, that's the best way from the manufacturer's point of view. Not only do they lose money if their product rated for 20 years lasts fifty, but sometimes they get sued if a 30-year-old unit fucks up. It's hard to convince a jury they weren't supposed to be using such an outdated product.

If it was truly Murphy's Law, the furnace would not only break, but explode, burning OPs house. And OPs house insurance would have expired a month earlier as well on the same day.

While OP runs out of the house in a panic they get attacked by the neighbors thought to be friendly dog then realizes the car is in the shop their cell phone just died and it starts raining on the one day when no one seems to be home. Of course all in the same day

But maybe that rain would put out the fire, things might not be looking so down then.

If he builds himself a Red Matter Furnace, he can use a glitch to get infinite resources and therefore infinite energy!
But he'll need a lot of dark matter first...

Cutting down trees with your bare hands? Falling 10 meters and healing within minutes? I can't think of anything more ideal.

Tell them it broke two months ago but your phone service was out. Probably won't work, but it's worth a try for $4,000!

This sounds like every phone I've ever had. Minus the 20 year warranty.
