Clearly, there was no point arguing with this man. I nodded but thought to myself, I’m not spending hours at the laundromat every week or tackling the dishes when work barely gives me time.
So, after moving in, I decided to buy my own washing machine and dishwasher. It took a big chunk of my savings and some late-night waitressing shifts, but it was worth it.

A few days later, Mr. Robinson came by to check on things.
“Everything okay?” he asked, peering into the kitchen.
“Yep,” I replied. “Just wanted to let you know I bought a washing machine and dishwasher.”

His eyebrows shot up. “Oh, really? Well, make sure you take good care of them.”
“Don’t worry, I will,” I said, smiling.
“Looks like you must have spent a lot on those,” he further said, eyeing the appliances, and I felt really weird at that point.

“Yeah, I did,” I admitted. “But it’s worth it. Saves me so much time and effort.”
He nodded slowly. “Well, I hope you enjoy them. Just remember, they’re your responsibility.”
