it's time for another stupid thread from me This time it's about stupid stories from the household. Let me start:
A year ago, I wanted to inaugurate our new kitchen. So I ordered a pack of these super tabs for the dishwasher, which supposedly do everything... With a citrus scent or something.
The result: all the plates had a strange film on them and the food tasted incredibly disgusting.
In the end, the manufacturer sent me a free replacement bag with a postcard saying "Sorry" on it.
In my first apartment when I was 18, where I lived alone, I fell asleep overtired with a lasagna in the oven (a normal stove with no frills or automatic switch-off) and woke up 3 hours later. The lasagna was black and no longer edible. I had laid down on the couch beforehand and fell asleep when I came home from work, I had a nice eat-in kitchen. I was very lucky that nothing caught fire, it could have turned out badly
Two years ago, when I was upstairs in my room and then went downstairs, the whole hallway, the whole kitchen and the whole living room were full of water and water was also running down the stairs into the cellar. A pipe had burst in the kitchen. This in turn led to a lot of unpleasant work. The only consolation was that we had buildings insurance.
The washing machine wasn't connected properly (I'm innocent here). At some point I came home from work and half the apartment was flooded. I had to spend 2 or even 3 hours cleaning everything dry.
When we first moved in, the toilet was really easy to block. We called a friend who had a rotary valve and he helped us unclog the toilet. It was a huge mess (I'll spare you all the details). But it didn't help. So we called the landlord and had the problem investigated with the Risk that we might have to pay the costs. It turned out that the construction had been sloppy and it had to be redone.

Once the toilet was blocked, we had to arrange for someone to come and clean it or buy something like a plunger or something. Then I googled on the internet and it said to use the toilet brush to create pressure in the drain/toilet by pushing it up and down (can't explain it well) and the blockage was gone. I didn't think it would be so easy to solve the problem😅

Once toilet was clogged, already set up to have someone come or have to buy some stuff like suction cup or something. Then I googled on the internet, it said you should create pressure with the toilet brush in the drain/toilet by pushing it up and down (can't explain it well) and bang, the blockage was gone. I didn't think it would be so easy to solve the problem😅
It's not really an art to clear a blockage like this, but something was wrong with our system so that it was regularly blocked. It was unacceptable. I don't know what exactly was wrong back then, but if I remember correctly, something was so badly built that it couldn't drain properly. I don't remember, it was over 20 years ago
A few years ago, I came home from work on Saturday and popped a few buns in the oven. I sat down and did something on the computer. Suddenly the fire alarms went off and the whole place was full of smoke, even in the hallway the fire alarms went off. I didn't take my oven gloves out of the oven.
The neighbors had already called the fire department. They stormed into the apartment and just shouted out. So I grabbed my cat and got out. Thank God it was only smoking and not on fire.
My wife was delighted when she came home from work. Luckily the Insurance paid out.

very strange
reason that I no longer have anything to do with insurance
what should the flood victims say
it's all not kosha with the Insurance industry
hopefully it was worth it with the broken pipe in the kitchen
