My freshman class in college set the fire alarm off by burning popcorn in the microwave so many times that the college instituted mandatory "how to use a microwave" classes. At our graduation, George W. Bush made fun of us for that in his commencement speech.

Which is strange, because I feel like if any politician needed that class it'd be him.

Kind of like Biden needs to take that, "what is considered inappropriate touching" class.

So in the light of a new day, things are worse than we hoped.

A reconstruction contractor came by with the landlord, and we will need us and all our stuff out of the house for at least a month.  This poses something of a challenge without renter's insurance to cover us.  We are looking at subletting somewhere, which would be more convenient if our landlord will let us out of this lease.  I feel weird asking her to do that though, since we are the ones that caused the damage. This lease goes til Aug, so there is a bit of overlap and we cant really afford to pay rent in two places.  Also, everything we own is smoke damaged. <sigh> such a mess.

Go right now and buy renter's insurance if you don't have it.

The worst thing that ever set off the fire alarm in our building

(click to show/hide)was someone microwaving a bag of their own shit, which apparently caught fire as well.
I can laugh about it now, but the stench was unbelievable, and the hallway passing by the room that had the microwave (which was the only way out of that wing, unless you left out a ground-floor window) was also covered in vomit because of the smell.

I can think of no sane reason to do that. Popcorn? Sure, it's a food-like substance. But... poop?
