A few years ago my parents decided to get rid of their old dresser with a big mirror attached to it. They were just going to take it to the dump but I had a better idea. I suggested that we post it on Facebook to see if anyone would be interested in it and could have it for free as long as they picked it up. Somebody was interested in the dresser but long story short my dad and I would be delivering it.
As the saying goes, no good deed goes unpunished. We got the dresser loaded into the back of my dad's truck but because the mirror wouldn't come off (yet), it was not the sturdiest. I thought about sitting in the bed of the truck with it but we decided we would just drive realllly slow.
The start of our long trek from the middle of town to the west end was going great until we got 4 blocks from home and turned onto Poly. As we took the turn the unthinkable happened. The mirror cracked off the dresser and shattered in the middle of Poly during 5 o' clock traffic! 😭 My dad and I watched horrified as the mirror exploded and sent glass ricocheting in every direction possible.
Luckily some nice people stopped to help clean up the broken glass and others brought out brooms from their house. After the chaos of the situation and clean up was FINALLY over, we delivered the dresser as is a.k.a. with no mirror. 🙄
P.S. Make sure you actually hit the save button after writing a post or you'll end up having to retype it a time or two like I just had to. 🙃🙃🙃
