Unfortunes

I always have the worst luck when it comes to toilets. They’re always malfunctioning around me. Mind you, it’s not for any particular reason, they just do.

Take Friday for example. I went to the bathroom at work (and this was before we were open, it was just me waiting in the lobby until it was time to clock in) and everything flushed, I won’t go into detail, anyway the toilet filled as toilets do, only this time it didn’t stop. So water filled the entire bowl, spilled onto the floor and eventually leaked out under the door.

Normally I would have lost my head or something, but I didn’t. I had been through this sort before. I just started grabbing paper towels and throwing them onto the giant puddle. I must have used half the stock of paper towels before I went and got a mop.

After I mopped up all the water and put up the wet floor signs I went back to the lobby and sat back down at my usual table.

Yeah, it’s a good thing the bathroom was little or I would have had a lot of work to do. I felt kind of embarrassed at how wet the floor actually got, but I don't think anyone noticed. Nobody really used the bathrooms that morning.

When I got home I was looking through one of my journals and there must have been at least six other times when a toilet has gone wrong and I just happened to be the one it went wrong with.

I think it's a curse. I should write a book Curse of the Weretoilet. Wouldn't that be great? I'd read it, anyway.
