3. The Worst Part Is, They Were Home Alone
Roofing your house is never a particularly desired chore or ideal job. Still, the work has to be done—someone has to do it. Starting on a Saturday, this person got ready to go mend something on their roof. They ascended to the summit on a ladder. Though the wind or maybe karma seemed to have other ideas, they did not see their fate hovering about. Particularly if they lived alone and had no one nearby to assist them in descending the ladder, they may have been caught on the roof for hours.
On a calm weekend, our adventurous do-it-yourselfer felt they were being efficient, doing that pesky roof repair. Equipped with tools, will, and a reasonable dosage of arrogance, they climbed their reliable ladder. Up until it wasn’t, the summit vista was fantastic. In a turn of events that would have even the creators of “Home Alone” shudder, a breeze—or maybe a malicious poltergeist—decided to pull a nasty joke. Our protagonist was left maroon in their own personal tower of fear when the ladder fell. Years passed while they considered their paths in life. Should they chance a bold jump into the undergrowth? Could you perhaps make a rope from their shirt? Alternatively let their new life as a roof dweller be accepted. The irony of restoring the roof only to maybe provide nighttime cover from the sun didn’t escape them as it started to set. They noted mentally: Next time, engage a professional. Alternatively at least make investments in a ladder with improved center of gravity. And perhaps, just perhaps, think about befriending some neighbors who might come to save you in such ridiculous circumstances.
4. When You Forget to Remove the Handcuffs From Your Headboard Before Sending Mom a Pic
Moving to a new house and arranging it to seem pleasant and appealing and to create the impression of a home excites me nothing else. Most people also want to see what it looks like and how the process is proceeding, hence they typically ask for images along the process. This teenager emailed her mother a picture, but it appears she neglected to remove anything from it prior. For what was it? Oh, merely a set of handcuffs. And it seems her mother would not let it go pass without expressing some sort of intervention. How then is the daughter expected to answer?
Our protagonist felt she was only informing her mother of her new living circumstances in the era of over sharing and fast contact. Happy with her interior design, she quickly snapped a picture of her bedroom ready to flaunt her adult choice in furniture. She had no idea, though, she was about to provide her mother with far more information than she had budgeted. There, in plain sight, hung from the headboard like some sort of provocative Christmas ornament, handcuffs. She knew her serious mistake the instant she pushed “send,” but it was too late. Now caught between mortification and the urgent need to explain, our heroine faced a dilemma: “Interesting choice of decor, honey. I didn’t realize you were into… police memorabilia.” Her mother sent a quick note. Should she be calm and pretend they are a gag present? Look to a rowdy roommate for blame. Alternatively choose the honest path and realize her mother now knows far more about her personal life than either of them ever desired. Family gatherings are definitely more awkward, and she will be double-checking every picture she sends going forward.
