You will not believe what happened to me today. Just when I thought my job could not get any worse, it did. So there seems to have been a bit of a mishap in the restroom this afternoon. We don’t have separate restrooms for guys and gals, just a single restroom shared by all in our office suite. Someone was kind enough to clog the toilet and not do anything about it (I still maintain that it was one of the ladies in the office, but that is still a contentious issue). This person must have never learned how to deal with a clogged toilet because there is a plunger right next to it (just one of my many reasons for believing it was one of the ladies; guys know how to deal with clogged toilets). At any rate, this person must have also continued to flush, hoping to clear the clog. That genius idea didn’t exactly pan out and it resulted in a mini-flood of the restroom.
After a series of unsuccessful calls to the maintenance department, yours truly got stuck with the duty of unclogging the toilet and mopping up the mess. Why me? I guess it’s because I’m such a nice guy. But I was a gagging mess and almost puked on a handful of occasions.
It was definitely the worst thing I have had to do around the office. I’m sure many of you have stories that are better than mine and I would love to hear about them. Write a comment below and tell me how your story tops mine.
