commotiocordisHey, story. I just got called out in the middle of replying to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
xx_housecat_xx to help get our new freezer out of the car. Did that. Parents were trying to get a bungee cord around the freezer on the dolly thing so it wouldn't slide off, and my mom was like "the cord is going to break--" and just as she said that, it did so, and smacked her in the arm. Ouch. I was still in the car at that point, having forced my body past the freezer to push it out, and as I was getting out, I noticed that evidently, the cord smacked the back sliding door's window, as it's completely shattered. It was fine until I touched the base of it (really lightly, just so I didn't fall when I misstepped on the curb) as I was getting out, and then I heard it crackling and it started crumbling. So the $400 freezer has become an $800 freezer as we'll now have to get the window replaced.

Ooh. Didn't think about that. At least you're not a spanish teacher. Then you'd really have to be worried.
