You know, of course, the refrigerator was testing you. Your actions were documented and communicated back over WiFi to the corporate offices, which have now redirected their operational policies to rely on your efforts. It will now increase the freezer temp just to mess with you until you purchase their newly revised maintenance package.
The Coffee Maker has been watching and taking notes. All the appliances are jealous. <;^)
Lol!
Seriously, alot of Philip K. Dick’s novels had instances of appliances talking to owners and demanding payment...
The minute my door says “You’re behind in your payment. But I will open if you deposit $15.00 more this month...”
Thing the door doesn’t understand is I CAN BUILD a new door!!
