Rules Concerning the Ice Maker

The people at my house are not normal. None of them are normal. If you could come over to my house then you would agree that none of them are normal. Okay, if you came over for lunch, they could likely “hold it together” long enough that you would not think that they are not normal. I don't think they could fool you through a longish dinner, unless of course you are not normal. If you are not normal then it is possible that you and all the "not normal" people would "hit it off" and me, the normal person would be "odd man out" in a bizarre, reverse of normal reality kind of way.

Not normal people run in packs.

I alone am the only normal person in the house. We have had to set a rule because they are "not normal". Normal people who lived together would not have to set a stupid rule like this, but when a group of people are not normal then you have to set "not normal" rules. So far the main rule has to do with the ice maker.

All refrigerators these days have ice makers. Only people on government welfare have refrigerators without ice makers. It is a known fact that ALL refrigerators manufactured in China (where everything is made now) have ice makers, and if you order a refrigerator without an ice maker they have to actually go and remove the thing before the fridge ships. Maybe you didn’t know that, but most everyone except for you knows that which is why I can say it is “a known fact”.

So our ice maker has two setting. One is “cube” and the other is “crushed”. Actually there is no “right” or “wrong” way to get your ice. I am not saying that only normal people get their ice cubed although I am being made out to look that way, to friends, neighbors and now the therapist. The cops that came over Friday night, I think, were pretty understanding. What I AM saying is that I prefer my ice cubed and not crushed. So what is wrong with that? Since I earn the “lions share” of the income of the household, is it too much to ask to have my ice cubed? But the other people in the house, the "non normal" people want their ice crushed so that is where they set the ice maker setting.

When you go to get “cubed ice” it takes some time for the cubed ice to come out and you get a lot of crushed ice instead. If you are only getting a small amount of ice for a smaller drink the entire glass will be crushed ice, which just is not right. So the rule is that if you get crushed ice, then you have to set the ice maker setting back to cubed ice and run it until the cubed ice comes out. What is so hard about that?

But the non normal people “claim” that they cannot remember to do this, so I still get all my ice with some large portion of it crushed.

If you have this problem at your house, could you please email me and let me know how it got handled. Unless of course you are a "not normal" person yourself, in which case I don't want to hear from you.
