Remember kids: never throw away receipts of any kind. Because EVEN THOUGH:

- the dishwasher burst into flame

- the dishwasher is one of 600,000 being recalled

- the cause of flame has been determined to be caused by the recalled part

- the recall has been in force 8 years

- the recalled dishwashers were manufactured up to 18 years ago

- the IRS recommends destroying all receipts after 7 years

- the appliance stores only keep records for 1 year

- the dishwasher itself was purchased 13 years ago

...Bosch won't move forward without a copy of the fucking receipt. Added bonus fun, this sentence was actually uttered by the "inspector":

"Well, it's going to need a new fascia, a new liner and a new control board but since the power connector is melted to the board, I can't send in the control board without cutting the wiring harness and the wiring harness is no longer available so that helps your case."

("But it caught ON FIRE.")

"I can only tell you what they tell me, and I'm a repair technician."

("But it BURST INTO FLAME.")

"I can see that."

Link most assuredly fucking related
