It had been an impromptu decision.
A be in the moment, what could possibly go wrong, you only live once, I’m not THAT old, you’re not the boss of me kind of non-decision decision.
The kind that had ruled (or almost ruined if you asked her) his life until she came along. No. This couldn’t be on him. Surely an alarm would have gone off.
No. Not his fault.
As the water crept closer, he tore his gaze away from the gushing pipe. Put on his game face. She’d be back soon. And this was definitely not his fault.

It is his fault. Always his fault… if he wants peace that is. 😀

Of course it’s not his fault, he didn’t do anything, did he? Never his fault, never doing anything… great story.

Wow, impressed by how you sketch the mindset of this character in such an easily recognizable way. This guy will never take responsibility and I kinda feel sorry for his “rescuer.”

Famous last words, “What could possibly go wrong?” I snickered at the “it wasn’t his fault.” I could imagine the look on his face that said, “What? It’s not my fault.” Entertaining story!

Repairs never go as expected. I do hope he admits he could have made a mistake but probably not. : )

So he’s just going to stand there instead of calling a plumber? What a clutz!

I had to laugh out loud. My DH is a DIY guy, and usually he’s really good at it. Recently, though, he’s been installing some new electrical circuits in our larger bathroom, and what was supposed to take a couple of hours ended up taking three days. And a lot of muttering. It wasn’t his fault. It was the screwball who installed the wiring originally who obviously didn’t know what he was doing 🙂
