My Worst Nightmare


I came home from giving my girlfriend a lift to work this morning and heard a strange noise from the living room. I ran in to discover water cascading from an on wall "Mr. Slim" indoor air conditioning unit onto my stereo. I naturally freaked, pulled my whole rack to the other side of the room and then surveyed the damage. Not too bad actually. I'm in the midst of an amp trade, and despite bemoaning the lack of an amp the night before, the empty bottom shelf is where most of the water fell. The only casualty if any may be my Chang Lightspeed 3200, which was fairly well doused. But all in all, I got lucky. What's the worst thing that ever happened to your system?

I was carrying my boxed, floorstading speakers to my Blazer. Someone, not me of course, failed to finish taping the bottom of the box. I can still remember the instant I felt the box get really light, really quick. And naturally all the excitement occured while I was standing on pavement. Luckily, Hales was still in business. For $350 they bailed me out.
"They took the large boat anchor that was once my TV, carried it down some stairs and through a wooded lot, and at some effort. Small consolation, but it just made me smile."

That's so funny. Kind of reminds me when my Eclipse CD player was stolen from my car. I guess they didn't know that once the power supply is cut, it will won't ever turn on again without a "key" CD. It didn't weigh a fifty pounds, though, so your story is way better.
