I'm currently sitting at my desk in very wet clothing. Why, you may ask. Well I used up the last of the water in the water cooler so I figured that I should change the water. I've done it before, no big deal. My one handicap is my height, I just can't get the best leverage going.

So I get the container up and as I'm tipping it over it slips and falls to the ground. Have you ever slammed down a pop can too hard? Well, imagine that effect multiplied by the fact that it was a much larger container falling feet instead of inches. I got quite the shower.

Shitty.

FYI: when you drop a really, really full 3 hole puncher, it also reacts the same.

Hope you dry soon.

I was definitely amused, not too pissed off. Actually wish somebody had been around to see it.

I had the same feeling with the hole puncher.

i felt the same way when i accidentally inhaled a lit cigarette so hard that it rested with the filter on the back of my throat (where the gag reflex is) and the burning-hot cherry resting on my lower lip. the pain would've been a lot easier for me to handle if there were someone there to laugh hysterically at me.

Was it wrong of me to laugh at the mental image? I've done a pretty similar thing. I was loading up a water cooler and instead of dropping the water thing, I put it in the hole (so the plastic plug unplugged and water could come out), and then because I'm an idiot I move it wrong and got about a gallon pouring out on my shirt, pants, shoes, everything.

Not my favorite way of cooling down at the office on a hot day.

It was great, I had just enough time to think "Whew, it landed right side up, but shit it shot water..." *sploosh* as it landed on me. My coworker couldn't figure out why my back was soaked too. I had explain that the water came down on top of my head, not spilled forward or something.
