The Stupid Things We Do

modestjesse by modestjesse · Feb 23, 2004 · 325 views · · · Journal

So I'm at my parents doing laundry and I figure I'll be the good son. They've been having a problem with their sump pump, they bought a new one but they got the wrong kind. Anyway, I go to connect the old one to make sure it still works. My brother told them it didn't so that's why they bought a new one. So I connect the old one and I'm just holding a hose on it thinking that will do the trick. So I plug this thing in and after about two seconds it shoots water out with such pressure that it blows the hose right off the nozzel and my hand. So now this thing is spraying water everywhere! I quickly yank the power cord, and just as I pull it I have a second thought becuase of the water and I don't want to get zapped. So fortunatly the plug comes out without sparking and I'm drenched. I take my shirt off in disgust and throw it on something to dry. The washer finally stopped so I decided to put my clothes in the dryer. I lift the lid to the washer and there's a boat load of water on top of it that I didn't notice. Poured it all over my clothes. Now if this was clean water it wouldn't be a big deal, but this was skanky water, so disgusting. So now I had to wash my clothes over again.

So I'm sitting here, my pants are still wet, and I'm waiting for my clothes to finally dry. I can't beleive I did that. I knew the thing was going to shoot the water out but I didn't think it would knock the hose out of my hand. Oh well.
