Analysis of eight households – one washing-machine
Markus Kiener 1960 (Regensdorf)
one apartment house
eight flats
eight households
three families
one family with one child
two families with two children
five single-persons
I’m one of them
one laundry-room
one washing-machine
the washing-machine is broken
the washing-machine is broken again
the washing-machine is broken once again
this time it won’t be me
who will make any phone call
I won’t contact anybody
won’t report the facility-management at all
that the washing-machine is broken
that the washing-machine is broken again
that the washing-machine is broken once again
if there is a talk about it
as if there is no solution to a problem
I will say “no problem
turn your dirty clothes inside out and wear them”
