Two is two too many!
Yesterday morning I accidentally knocked my assortment of perfume bottles off my dresser and onto the floor. Well, it would have to be the floor, wouldn't it? Where else would they go?
Fortunately, nothing shattered. Unfortunately, one of the perfumes was housed in a stoppered bottle, not a spray bottle, and the stopper got dislodged, and... you know what's coming next, don't you? The floor was bathed in almost half a bottle of perfume. I am going to have a very fragrant room for the next few days or so. I am also convinced that this sort of thing only happens to me.
I got a cloth to mop up the perfume, and rinsed the cloth out in the bathroom... so now the bathroom is fragrant too.
The upstairs bathroom drainage system pipes used water down to the downstairs bathroom... so now the downstairs bathroom is fragrant too.
By the time I got home after church cell group meeting at 11:30pm, everybody in the house knew what happened to my perfume. Even if nobody had known the exact details of the tale, their noses would certainly have figured out the gist of it!
Then, in the afternoon, I broke my personal "no fast food" rule and went to Burger King for lunch. They served me, I took my food, sat down, and proceeded to attack my fries. I always eat the fries first, coz when they get soggy and soft they're not nice any more.
After eating all the fries (yes, I broke my "no fries" rule too, but at least I got the 'small meal') I unwrapped the burger and bit into it. Hmmm, juicy, lots of sauce, very good, crunchy lettuce... wait a minute, something's missing here. Peeled the halves of the bun apart, and lo and behold... THERE WAS NO MEAT IN MY BURGER. They had served me a burger without the burger patty! I have never heard of such a thing happening before, especially in a hamburger joint!!!
After bringing the burger back to the counter and asking what on earth had happened, they replaced it... and the new one had onions in it when I'd specifically ordered one sans onions. I just couldn't win. (But at least onions are removable. It's not as bad as smothering something in chilli sauce -- that would make the food REALLY inedible to me!)
Man, two misadventures in one day -- why do these things always happen to me?! :P
