What item breaking, has the biggest negative impact on you?

I think the worst thing not working for me would be my computer. My computer is my company through the day and evening, it is where I chat to my friends and how I find out what is going on in the 'real world'. Without it I am lost and bored and always looking for something to do.

when our landlords son play with the switch of the water tank and we end up no water..when theres no electricity, like its black out!

I don't like any electrical item stops working. But what upsets me most it's when there is an unexpected water shortage (cleaning water tanks, for an example).

That would have to be my ipod. I freak when it stops working (which is seems to be doing more and more llately). I can live without tv but I need to have my music and some audio books for the gym... in between classes etc.

It really bugs me when my body breaks, get sick or have a bad cut on it. I try to stay in a healthy conditition, I don't like it when I get sick.

I think my coffee pot! I would not be able to survive without my coffee! Although, you do make a strong argument for the washer and dryer. I think if those went out on me, I would have serious problems! I get really upset and worried!

for me, I don't really worry about when things break down. It doesn't upset me, although it is an inconvenience - like when the power went out on our block one hour before I had a whole group of guests arriving. We had to move the party to another person's house. The worst is when my car breaks down. I have to miss work (cannot bus) and it's a pain to get it fixed.

im pissed off if we dont have waters at home..i think water is the msot important in my household..

For me the things what can have biggest negative impact on me are my computer and car. One month back our car had a problem and until we fix the problem it was like owrse time for us. For now fortunately my computer is working fine. But I can remember once proccesor of this computer was not working and when we gave it to fix they took little long. Ohh those days were so long for me like never ending day without my computer lol. Also power cut may cause a big problem for me. As without power I can't use my computer, there will be no TV, food in the fridge will go bad and most importantly I would not be able to cook. We use heater to cook.

You have just voiced everything that bugs me when it goes out. I think the worst is when the power goes out though. I worry about the food in the freezer, and I get very grouchy if the power goes out when I am on the computer. LOL

I freak out when my internet connection gets wonky. As in seriously freaking out. I mean, I cannot believe I got so used to being able to connect with other people out there! Take away the internet from me and I am climbing the walls! LOL!

My biggest frustration is when I struggle to lg onto the internet and once I'm on, every now and then I get the screen that says "can't open this page". Then I have to retry or go out of internet and go in again, and so forth. I struggled again tonight but this time i perservered a bit longer than usual and now things are going well. I'm from the old school that did not grow up with computers and I get frustrated with this thing very easely.

All things that annoys u annoys me too. But I will never stop my work as I will take different route.ie., If my cable goes down i switch over to my Radio which is non stop. By the god grace my scooter is very good to me, if it has a problem it shows up quickly but will not stop untill mechanic shop comes. It all goes who seriouly we depend on the man made materails. Take it lightly, You thing that u are in some 18 th century and on tv is there for some time untill u r power comes back, in this time you will get something good and interesting to time pass.

I am lost without my computer. Often ask myself what I did before I had a pc and broadband. I use my pc for music through I Tunes, I chat to family and friends via msn or online chat rooms, plan trips and book holidays with it, even work from home using it so its almost like loosing an arm if it doesnt work!

My drier breaking wouldn't really bother me too bad because I can always hang dry them my washer now it would send me in a tailspin, I hate washing clothes out by hand I have done it many years and I don't want to have to do it any more. My cable wouldn't really bother me either because I rarely watch it. It only gets turned on by my husband for about 2 hours a day I don't think we really even need cable for the 45.00 we are paying for it. The worst thing that can go done for me is my phone and computer.. That would send me into a worried upset tailspin..lol I am addicted to my computer and phone it is my link to the world around me. I have no car or do I get out much so without my phone and computer I would go stark raving mad...lol just kidding but I would seriously have a problem..

When my computer used to break down, that would be most annoying & frustrating for me. It doesn't happen anymore as our computer is a good one. At the moment, my mobile phone is doing weird things, ; it's not exactly broken down, but it wont send prperly.

Oh goodness, I guess I could name one, but it seems whichever one is busted is the one I need at that time. We went 3 weeks with no electricity after a hurricane. We had nothing, no lights, no stove, washer, etc. I gained a new respect for my ancestors those three weeks, but at the same time, I had some grand times getting to know my neighbors and spending quiet time with my husband just talking and playing Yahtzee.

I think my refrigerator would be the worst thing that could break! I've had a washer and a dryer go out, and I just haul my laundry to one of my four kid's homes, and borrow theirs. My computer would come in a very close second!!

the two biggest have to be the dryer and the fridge. they're both expensive to fix,and expensive to replace. plus when the fridge breaks down you may lose all your food,so you have to add that in also.

I would be compelely lost without my cell phone, if i even leave it in the car I have to go back for it. I dont know why .. I'm not on it that often but it's become a part of me.
