Breaking the sink
So I decided to bring my lunch today, some noodles I had made the other day. However, either I made an error with the sauce when I made them, or the flavours had gotten too intense by staying in the fridge too long. Either way, they were disgusting. I wanted to throw them out, but they smelled so strongly, plus I didn't have anything to put them in, and if I threw these loose noodles in somebody's garbage can, it would have smelled like noodles and soy sauce forever, so I decided to throw them down somebody's sink disposal.
I forgot to do so until my last walk of the day, Brando and Goldie's after choir rehearsal, so I only got there at 9.30p. The first thing I did when I walked in the door was check that the disposal worked, then toss my noodles down the sink and turn on the grinder, then wash out my noodle bowl. I noticed that the water appeared to be backing up into the other sink, so I turned it on again, and the water and suds just got more and more fluffy, and both sinks weren't draining.
I took the dogs out for their walk, hoping that it would have drained by the time we got back, which they hadn't, so I drove to the store for some Drano. I got the one that said, "Guaranteed to break up the toughest clogs!" This was a bald-faced prevarication. I waited longer, and the water went down a bit, I tried it again and it all came back. At this point it was 10.45p, and the owner works on the 11p news, so I knew that now was not the time to be calling her! So I decided to keep working on it and wait for her to come home. I bailed out the sinks, hung out with the dogs, wondered how much it would cost to fix her sink, cursed the noodles.
She finally came home, and I met her at the door, "The dogs are fine! I broke your sink! It's all backing up, I'm so sorry!" She answered, "I know it's backing up, the plumber is coming tomorrow!" "You mean I didn't break it?" "No, my God, how long have you been here?" "For awhile, but I don't care, hooray! I didn't break the sink! I was really wondering how noodles could have broken it!" "I'm so sorry, I thought about leaving a note..." "Please, if ever you can let me know that I didn't break something, I'll be very glad to know it!"
She apologized and apologized, and I really didn't mind, I just was so glad that I didn't break the sink.
