I woke up with a start last night to a loud crash emanating from my bathroom. I went in there, turned the light on and found...
...that my shave cabinet had fallen off the wall and on to the top of my toilet. At first I thought the screws must have pulled out of the Sheetrock. Nope. Those were anchored as well as ever. The cabinet just fell apart under the apparently-unreasonable weight of what's normally found in a bathroom cabinet.
Casualties included:
One full bottle of rose water
One-half night's sleep
One not-built-as-well-as-I-thought cabinet
Oh, and I learned that the "shatterproof" Aqua Velva bottle is completely unnecessary. My glass bottle took quite a tumble onto the tiled floor and was intact. The only damage was to the plastic cap, which funny enough, shattered.
And it all came crashing down...

And look on the bright side. Now you can get a bigger, stronger, cabinet, and a lot of new stuff to fill it with.

I was working graveyard shift for a small company that created a secuity programme that wasn't. Without warning the huge vanity mirror in the lady's room came crashing down.
I was chewed out come morning for my crew 'screwing around' and demoted. The supervisor was the hatchetman who laid people off when Max Factor relocated.
That afternoon he was in the men's room when CRASH! that vanity mirror gave way.
I'm amazed at how much my small assembly has grown. I need to get with those amish carpenters on T.V. and produce custom shaving cabinets
