background: i work for my college in the housing department, so i pretty much move stuff around dorm basements from one store-room to another. we take lunch from 11:00 to 12:00 and i get paid today. it's about 10:50 and i'm getting pumped to pick up my check at lunch in a few minutes.

ok, now for the story. we're moving some doors (i dunno why) from one room through a set of doors to another in the basement of a high rise dorm. i'm in the destination room setting my door down and i hear water rushing. so i think it's a toilet or something like that, then i look behind me and i see a kid i work with SOAKED, so i'm thinking "damn, rain." then i hear the water rush harder, and i look down the hall i was just down and a pipe has BURST! hundreds of gallons of water are rushing from this pipe and flooding the basement. it was crazy. so the cops show up, fire department, housekeeping, plumbers and worst of all my boss (who was about to leave to play golf). so he's pretty pissed, everyone is pretty pissed and we're all laughing because this situation is hilarious.

so the water gets turned off, and there's about four inches over the entire floor. closed doors do nothing to stop water, so after the water gets all vaccumed up we have a huge task of moving all the furniture out of this basement into as many lobbies as it takes to hold the stuff. the dorms open for residents in ONE WEEK!

i guess this isn't that funny, but the maintinence guys (who love the crew i work with) thought it was hilarious. seriously the best thing that happened all summer at work.
