Dishwashers and School Buses=no good

Disaster in the apartment…

Location: Apt. M316

I was enjoying doing some Cybercoders (that’s a stretch) in my room before work. I looked at the clock. 2:20pm. Time to make myself a sandwich to take with me and leave for work.

::walks to kitchen::

::stop dead in her tracks…. eyes become wide::

Oh no….

::scratches head::

Oh no….

(Enough suspense) The dishwasher exploded (or at least looked like it did) with suds and water EVERYWHERE! There was a swirling mess of about a half inch of water topped off with bubbles galore. I could have taken a bubble bath in our kitchen if I desired. In was just like those movie scenes… with like Mr. Bean or someone slipping around, trying to stop an overflowing washer with no luck. Though, I miss the overflowing action. I just got to see the aftermath. Home alone and minutes until I needed to leave, I didn’t know where to start to clean everything up. I started collecting ever towel I could find… including my room mates bath towels. The first towel was soaked within seconds. When I was finished, all the towels looked as if I dipped them into the pool. I left the second I had things under control… meaning… leaving a huge pile of my room mates towels and a heaping pile of suds/bubbles in the sink for them to find when they returned.
Did all that… and still made it to work in time. Not alittle bit early like I planned for my first day of work, but not late!

p.s. I hate school buses
