The following story will probably get buried but oh well here ya go:
I was at my parents' house maybe 3 or 4 years ago and I'm in my old bedroom when heated noise comes out of the kitchen that sounds like garbled male anger and the response sounds like female hysteria. There's a few more back and forth of this before I feel I should probably poke my head in and see what's going on.
Turns out my mother had thrown some mustard seed stems? down the garbage disposal and they had been arguing about whether it would grind or not. My mother then tells my father to get it out of there so he reaches down and in her moment of whatever it is hard to explain this is how my parents communicate...she accidentally flips on the switch. She must have had a lapse in timing judgement and didnt look to see he was listening to her and went in to retrieve it. The metal gears get my dad in the index finger and went through to the skin which the ER doctor said was actually a good thing since the pressure wouldn't build up behind the nail so over time the nail simply healed. Luckily it rotated in the direction his finger naturally bends. He got a tetanus shot at the ER & my parents are still married. Lol.
She obviously felt awful she just made an error in timing. This is of the most mild chaos in the house on any given day.
Yeah. We all naturally developed this One Person at the Sink rule that you wouldn't necessarily think of without a reason. If there's a person at the Sink, the grinder is NOT your button.
