 |  Crazy Electric Shock! Fuck me! I just took a shower and was using my girlfriends expensive soap to keep my silky soft ski in tip-top shape when my wet hair touched my bathroom cabinet and I got a pretty strong shock from it. Now this isn't a new problem and the landlord said it'd been fixed but obviously it hasn't. When my head touched the cabinet there was a bright flash ON MY HEAD, my jaw slammed shut, my neck jerked and all the power in the house tripped. I'm just glad that I was stading o the bathmat and not the floor covered in water. Pretty sketchy.

| Yup. The entire metal frame and surface of my bathroom cabinet is live when it gets wet from steam.

| Still in Spain. Spanish landlords aren't the best really. It's extremely fucked up when you trip the power and all you can see if a bright flash on top of your head. In other news, it's snowing today!
