JackieMaya Posted June 25, 2005 Posted June 25, 2005 I can't even believe I did this! Okay, so I put the big downstairs water bowl in the bathroom sink and turned on the water. Then I groomed Maya for a while and then I groomed Jackie. Then... I noticed that the water bowl wasn't in its usual spot. So I start going into the bathroom and notice that the sink has overflowed and most of the bathroom floor is flooded and the water is heading towards the lower basement. D'OH! So I laid down a whole bunch of beach towels to sop up as much of the water as I can. Well, at least the dogs have a nice full bowl of water! Quote
leahluvsherpups Posted June 25, 2005 Posted June 25, 2005 We have a utility sink in the laundry room and yes, been there done that. Unfortunately we have in the floor duct work so needless to say, what a freeking mess. Quote

I was making grilled cheese and I HATE making food that doesn't go in the microwave :lol: because when I want food, I want it NOW! And so I was getting rather impatient, my grilled cheese didn't seem to be cooking, but there was heat comming from there! So I knew the burner was working!! And then I realized something... I turned on the wrong burner :oops: :lol: LOL! I've done that before too! Quote
courtnek Posted June 25, 2005 Posted June 25, 2005 oh! oh! MY blonde moment story.... I wanted to make bread. I turned the oven on to preheat, and walked away. came back ten minutes later and realized I smelled gas. pilot was out....I lit the pilot in the broiler without opening the oven first to release the pent-up gas. five seconds later I had no hair on my forehead, no eyelashes and no eyebrows.... :drinking: :drinking: :drinking: I shouldnt bake... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Quote
Mutt_Lady Posted June 26, 2005 Posted June 26, 2005 :lol: I'm sorry, I laugh but I know how much it stinks to have this happen. I, too, have been there done that. One morning I had to get up especially early because a client wanted to drop their pooch off at 4:30 AM. :o (Don't worry, they offered to pay twice as much!) The night before I had gone to bed about 1 AM. So there I was on less than five hours of sleep... I went into take a shower and I turned the sink on the clean it out (Steph always leaves toothpaste at the bottom of it). So I get into the shower, 15 minutes pass and I notice that the shower sounds much louder than usual. I ignore it (blonde moment of my year!) and go on with my happy shower routine. When I get out, there is about 2 and a half inches of water on our bathroom floor. I had left the sink on, it overflowed and the water leaked everywhere. I felt like such a bonehead and Kev was piss'd! Quote
xavierandrea Posted June 26, 2005 Posted June 26, 2005 Wow. These stories make me feel so much better now.. Last Thanksgiving when Asim was the Ham. ( Some of you might remember the pictures I posted of him wearing the wrapping.) Anywhoo. I put the Ham in the oven. Usually the house smells like ham in about an hour but for some strange reason 2 hours later still no ham smell. :-? I kept opening the oven sniffing but never took note that there was not HEAT! So I finally said. " Self what is wrong with my ham? I do not see any drippings? Self why is there no ham smell?" Then myself said back " Hello stupid you forgot to turn on the oven you tard." So I had to call my mom and tell her to delay the diner by a few hours because of my stupid moment. :tard: Quote

What solved that problem in my house was getting my kid sister out of bed at ridiculous hours to clean the sink. All it took was having to wake up ONCE and she no longer leaves toothpaste sloppin's (or hair... YUCK!) in the sink. Urgh, I HATE that! I once put some houseplants in the tub and turned on the shower for a nice tropical soak. I do that sometimes. I forgot all about it, and one of the plants was blocking the tub drain. My whole bathroom flooded. What really p*ssed me off is that my kid sister had been in and out of the bathroom with water standing in the floor and never mentioned it. When asked about it, she said she didn't realize it was important. :wallbash: :onfire: Quote
ESSlover Posted June 26, 2005 Posted June 26, 2005 One time our basement flooded.. ok never mind. Out of the many times our basement has flooded (poor sealing on the oustide), my dad walked downstairs and stepped into about two or three inches of standing water on the floor. My dad walks over to my brother who is sitting on the couch there and pours water down his back. When asked why he didnt tell us there was water there, he replied, "Oh.. well I didnt think it was any big deal!" :o 1 new carpet, couch, entertainment system, and dehumidifyer later, my brother was slapped multiple times. Stupid boys. :x Quote
