Living Lesson #3
Living alone for the first time, I figure to learn quite a few handy tips in cleaning, food preparation, and general housework. Here's something I learned this morning:
Living Lesson #3: When the faucet on your bathroom sink spews out putrid brown water, don't play with it. Turn the faucet off and walk away.
I got up this morning as usual and headed to the bathroom. Upon turning the "cold water" knob of the sink, I discovered that today "cold water" meant nasty, nasty brown water in random bursts.
Since I knew this opportunity would not come often (at least I hope not), I proceeded to investigate this occurence. The water wasn't flowing, it was splurting out in big, brown bursts. Having nothing else to do for a while, I turned the knob up full blast to see what would happen. Maybe crystal clear sparkling water would find its way back to the bottom of my sink. Nope. A big burst of brown liquid splashed up from the sink onto me and the bathroom floor...
