Well...That Was Interesting!
My mom left the sink running on accident and so we came home from her errands to find our housemate down on his knees in the kitchen trying to mop up the puddle from Hell. Seriously. From Hell. Not only did it cover the entire kitchen floor but it was also making good progress on the carpeted dining room behind the sink.
Cue a very organized panic.
Thank God for the steam machine, I was told, or I would have been out there all night with every single towel we have in this apartment. It's times like that I hate being the youngest and therefore free labor.
