SWEET MOTHER OF POOP

[alexarae]

We (a few architects from work and myself) were working on a few things at work.
Naturally, CAK came into the conversation...we decide to go back to my apt and take a look at the tank.

So, we come back...they invite their ladies/wives over...just my luck...it turns into a "get together".
A few bottles of wine/liquor get opened...I go upstairs to call David....I get back and there is a beer bottle in my tank. I'm PISSED.

The guy goes to get it out, saying it was just a joke (humm...I thought jokes were supposed to be funny).

He FLIPPIN cracked my tank. I don't know what he did...I don't know how he did it. I didn't hear a bang or crack or anything.
Then, while inspecting the crack that is now "bleeding" drops of water...I notice that my fish are breathing heavy.
That SOB put beer in the tank. I pulled out my test strips and my water is screwed up.
I run upstair, grab a tupperware tub and start pulling some water out of my 40 gallon "quarantine tank". I finally catch all of the shrimp and fish...had to throw my sand all over the place to find my eel and horseface loach...

There have been no deaths so far.
But i am..."upset" to say the least.

Re: SWEET MOTHER OF POOP

Sounds like justifiable homicide to me.  Invite him to go fishing and bring plenty of “chum” for the sharks.  If he has too much to drink ........
I know a bunch of dirty old lawyers in Galveston and my baby sister the divorce court judge, is now running for 56th district court judge.

Re: SWEET MOTHER OF POOP

So your aquarium is cracked.   Thats a bunch of BS.   Where is it leaking from?  Do you need another tank in the mean time?   Glad to hear all your guys are. OK.

I think I would have to send a bill to the joker that thought it was funny to throw the bottle in there.

With friends like that, who needs enemies, or should it be spelled fiends?

Re: SWEET MOTHER OF POOP

I think it would only be fair if he paid for the repairs for the tank. You make the effort to share something you enjoy with someone from outside the hobby and they totally disrespect it. Unbelieveable!!! :evil:  People on the outside don't realize how time consuming and expensive this hobby is. I hope everything works out for you.

Re: SWEET MOTHER OF POOP

And THAT is why we don't have friends who aren't 'fish people'.  And if ever someone comes over who isn't a 'fish person', we activate the laser barrier around the tanks.  

Okay, so we don't have lasers, but your experience makes me want to get some.  And all I can say is that if that happened here....they would never find the body.   :axe:

Glad everyone is doing okay.

Oh, he will pay for it to say the least.
He forgets that my dad owns the company he works for.  8O
He'll be running plans for a while instead of drawing them.

Luckily, all the fish are well.
Scooby was nice enough to take Obie off my hands (thanks again) becuase he was just too big for the 40 gallon they're in.
Thanks again Scooby. Beautiful tanks by the way.  

So, I'm on my way to pick up some things for the new tank. (and my mom's tank while I'm at it).
I figured that since I'm in Houston, I might as well kill a few birds with one stone (not literally, I love birds).

So, I'm off. Thanks for all the support...I'm just 22 and I don't have kids. So between my fish and my pooch...they mean alot.
