OMG - Funny but not funny episode that just happened to me

[carogonza]

I am cooking dinner and our electric stove shorted out and started smoking as I was cooking. The fire alarm went off and when they called to see what the problem was, they ask for a password and they had it wrong. We always have the same password but they misspelled it and wouldn't accept it. SO they almost called the police on me until I finally yelled at them and said why the hell would the fire alarm go off if I wasn't supposed to be here and how do I know the name of the residents and the phone number and etc. etc.

Anyway I reset the alarm and told them not to send anyone because it was a short and no emergency was going on. It was just really smoky but there was absolutely NO FIRE. Minutes later the fire dept. shows up. I am in my jammies (which consists of a XXXL t-shirt that is almost to my calf with bleach stains and flannel pants that DO NOT match), my hair wet and I am looking like hell. SO they come in examine the stove only to tell me "you might need a new one." DUH! Luckily they turned off the breaker so at least it won't blow up.

In the meantime, B/F is not home and he missed all the action. I know all the neighbors are probably chomping at the bit to find out what is going on. I was a little embarrased but the fire people were really nice. Although they were a little ticked at the alarm company for not telling them it was not an emergency. Luckily, they didn't come blaring into the neighborhood with the siren on.

So I am having one exciting night. tee hee :laugh:

OMGosh, rofl! They just do NOT listen, do they? :laugh:

At least you weren't naked and cooking (not that I have done that, but friends of mine have..). :rofl3:

Allie,
If it wasn't chilly tonight I would usually be only wering the huge t-shirt. Luckily for me I decided to throw on the flannel bottoms right after my shower. tee hee

I am glad that you did not have a real fire--also that you were wearing such a nice outfit to greet your guests!

Well my b/f came home and I told him the tale and he cracked up too because he knows I always run around naked underneath the big T-shirt. Then he opened the stove and boy is it fried. It is a miracle that there were no flames! ANd that the whole thing didn't blow up into oblivion!

The way I look at it is that Christmas came early because now I am off the hook for cooking until we buy a new stove. :jump: woo-hoo. And that may not be until the New Year so I am a little bit happy about that. OMG, am I bad or what? tee hee :laugh:
