Normally I don’t blog about these kinds of things, but this is very amusing now that I look back on it, so thought I would share.
I live in a 5 story high-rise building now, on the 2nd floor. Its alot like an old folks home, or dormitory. Well, in my apartment, if I go out and turn right, just before the elevators, there are two doors on both sides of the hallway, door to the left leads to the garbage shoot where I take out my trash, door to the right leads to the washer / dryer room where I put in quarters and do my laundry.
Well, one day, I was taking out my trash, had a bunch of nasty grease and stuff on it ya know stuff kitchen trash normally has in it, I accidentally turned to the right, instead of to the left, I put the garbage bag into the washer, walked out, went right back to my room, then as I started to sit down at the computer, I thought “what the heck did I just do?” LOL!!!
So I had to walk back to the laundry room, take the garbage bag out of the washing machine, and take it over to the garbage shoot to throw it away.
I never did tell anybody in the building what I did, thank goodness it was in a bag and didn’t get washed by accident. Does the 5 second rule count in this case? LOL!! Was probably more like 15-20 seconds though. lol

Hi Tom.
Just found your blog after reading one of your comments on another blog. Had to see how you managed making a website. Pretty well, indeed, I must say.
And then I read this well-written post, which I enjoyed. Thanks for the story.
Happy writing,
René
