When we're doing house repairs or shopping for big purchases, a very small part of me silently wishes that something will go awry. I don't mean horribly, life threateningly awry. I mean awry enough that it's inconvenient but still easy to fix. Awry in a way that will make for a good story.
For example, when we were first moving into our house a year ago, the cable company was incapable of setting us up and cancelled 3 appointments without explanation. I finally called them and they said that it was because the address "wasn't a residence." He then repeated my address, which I confirmed. He then asked "Is this a house?" After I replied "Yes" he came back with ".....are you sure?" Frustrating and mind blowing at the time, but hilarious to look back on.
So, yes. Anytime we do something I secretly hope it will turn out to be a great story. Because, after all, "We hired a plumber to fix our shower" is totally boring. "We flooded the bathroom trying to fix our shower" on the other hand? Hilarious.
