Postcard from Toronto's forgotten Communist Block

There is food in my bathtub. Food that traveled from my next-door neighbour's sink, under the wall, up the drain pipe, and into my tub.

Imagine if I hadn't been home to hear the tub rapidly filling with water and stew remnants. 

On the bright side, the power is on today and food rationing is on hold until the Halloween candy is gone.

Better yet, imagine if you had been enjoying a leisurely bubble bath! I'm not sure what would have happened when you pulled the plug to let the water out. Maybe you would have flooded your neighbour, or maybe the stew would have flowed into your tub just the same.

AWESOME!

Ugh.

The plumber just asked, "Did you know your toilet was loose too?"

Really, there are just so many ways this could have ended badly.

The loose toilet was my fault. I'm sorry, I should have said something when I was over. Oops!

movita's sister said...

No, no, my fault. I should have put a bucket beside the sofa like you asked.

You're right, it's starting to get a bit of a Pyongyang Hilton vibe over there. Maybe Chip could paint you some revolutionary artwork for the walls.

Sigh.
Oh, this blog is going to be far too clever by halves.
