I’ve overfilled and flooded my house multiple times and It’s wearing thin with the wife but here’s my best overfill story.
My best overfill story - I was resident working in a city hospital and living in a shoe box studio in manhattan on the 16th floor of a high rise. I had a 150, a 135 , a 65 and a 72 gallon tank in this shoe box.
I had been on call the entire weekend and slept a total of maybe 5 hours over 3 days and I decided it would be a good idea to do a water change when I got off .
I was changing the 150 and then I wokeup and their was 6 inches of water on my parquet wood studio 16th floor apartment floor - Iimmediately freaked out and put the water filler on suck and started attempting to mop up the mess. I used a pile of dirty scrubs to assist with mopping up the water as I hadn’t done laundry in a month.
About a half hour in to my mop up, I get a knock on the door and the security from the building is at my door and tell me theirs water draining 3 floors below me. I quickly tell them that I overflowed the bath tub and that I had everything taken care of. In reality I was still frantically mopping up and I wasn’t supposed to have more than a 30 gallon tank in the apartment.
I waited over the next month and 1/2 for my eviction notice but it never came somehow. I destroyed the parquet wood floor and got my deposit back other than a small cleaning fee somehow. In reality, several of the security guards were buddies and probably knew what happened but didnt turn me in because they were cool with me, lol.
