TIFU by deciding to have a relaxing bath b4 work

Prologue: I woke up super early at about 4am, finding a lump in my stomach that made me anxious. I couldn’t sleep and felt wide awake, so I got up, went downstairs, put some stand-up on tv while I waited for my alarm to go off. I even had my cereal and surprised my gf with a fancy latte from our espresso machine when she woke up. When it was finally time to start getting ready for work, I started to get tired and drowsy, typical! I was still a little stressed and needed something to start my day off well…

Story: I decided to run a bath, knowing i had plenty of time, i even lit some fancy candles. I had a poop while the bath ran, and I put my phone down on the side of the bath (which is conveniently next to the loo). When i finished my poop I got undressed to have my quick bath. As i was about to step in, the fire alarms started going off! While i ran around the house naked, opening all the windows, neighbours could probably see my swinging jewls. It was still pretty early, so all eyes on me and you cant open windows with curtains shut – I even have to climb on the sofa to open my living room windows, so passers by would see me if they were fortunate. Still panicking I realised it would help to turn the bathroom extractor fan on, and as i then opened the door to the bathroom to go back in and check on the filling bath, i watched my phone slip and plunge into the bath, it felt like slow motion (my silent alarm had been vibrating and wiggled off the edge). I dove into the bath as fast as I could to save my phone.

It felt like an eternity b4 the alarms finally stopped thinking they never would. They still echo in my head and possibly damaged my ears.

I didn’t have much time for my bath now and felt super rushed. I then realised as I got out that, i have house cats and needed to make sure they were still in the house. As i opened the bathroom door, the fire alarms started going off again. But luckily, it was not for as long. I eventually found the cats hiding, as they would, but now really pushed for time to get to work on time.

Luckily, my phone still seems to work, I hope it is actually waterproof 🤞 its never been tested ive always been very careful. When I got to work though, it wouldn’t charge as it complained that the port was wet. I had a wireless charger but it doesn’t work with my pjone case – so I tried to remove it, and as I did, the glue and back of the phone began pealing off, I ignored it.

TL;DR: I messed up by thinking I had time for a relaxing bath before work, lighting some fancy wood whick candles. Which btw, should come with a warning!
