I just managed to spill a 5 gallon bottle of water
all over my kitchen floor. 5 gallons is a LOT and I've used all my bedding, all my towels and 5 of my boyfriends towels to mop it up.

What dumbfuck stuff have u done today?

Rejoice! For you have demonstrated the first principal of Plumbing...
"Water finds it's own level"

the second principal is that we get paid on fridays.

how'd you get a five gallon bottle of water?
that's what I want to know
( Lisette von Falcon, Tue 20 Oct 2009, 19:38, Reply)

it's not that much really...
we're talking 'bout US gallons here!

they're not that different

off the top of my head a US wet gallon is 1.2 Imperial wet gallons...
so that's 1/5th less?
so 5 US gallons is 4 Imperial gallons?
or is it that 4 Imperial is 4.8 US?
sorry, my brain is evidently worth shite-all this evening.

christ, those bitches are heavy
did you spill the whole thing?
( Lisette von Falcon, Tue 20 Oct 2009, 19:43, Reply)

Yup
my infected hand gave out-just managed to move my foot out the way.
The bottle just cracked open as it hit the floor

at least you won't have to wash the floor anytime soon.

Just gotta take my
two comforters, 2 sets of sheets and 11 towels to the laundry. Ah well.

I would have been more inclined
to just chuck a rubber duck in there and say "fuck it" then go and get horrifically drunk somewhere, stumble home after having forgotten the mess, tripped over the cat and drowned. probably.

Probably best all round that it happened to you

Thanks newb, but happened this morning. Am now in the pub having a lunchtime drink!

A dustpan is the best way....scoop the water up. Much more effective for large spills than towels or mops. Towels and mops are good at the end for finishing off the last bits.

The cats.
Fed the little fuckers vials of flea repellent. Just found out from Mrs Tugnut2 it was supposed to be poured on the back of their necks instead.

Oops a daisy.

Is there a vet in the house?

Thanks for the support.
She now has me out in the rain trying to call them in. No sign so far.

I think Mr Deep Shit is coming to visit me.
