So apparently I am a douche who doesn't know how to drive a mop bucket properly.
Normally we have ad set on Saturday nights, but next week there is no ad. So we had relatively little to do tonight. I was ahead of schedule, so the GM asked me to tidy up a bit in the break room and empty the trash, so it wouldn't sit there attracting ants all day tomorrow while the store is closed.
Well, when I pulled the can liner out, I found that the bottom of the barrel was full of rancid coffee, so I took it over to the custodian's closet to empty it, only to find that the floor underneath it was nasty. Also, there were some spills underneath the lunch table that already had ants.
So since i had some extra time (which is decidedly rare) I figured i'd better do the job right. I hosed down the trash barrel inside and out and left it to drip dry over the floor drain while I filled up a mop bucket and mopped up the worst areas on the floor (mopping ants into the bucket while doing so
).
Finished, I then made a phenominally stupid mistake and tried to push the mop bucket with the mop handle, while the mop was still in the wringer.
I really should have known better because I made this mistake once before and almost tipped the bucket over.
This time, I DID tip the bucket over!!!
The resulting tidal wave flooded nearly the entire break room. Rushing towards several cartons of toilet paper lined up against one wall, but mostly rushing towards the opposite wall, beyond which was the ELECTRICAL ROOM!
I called up to the front and asked if someone could help, but no one did.
Then of course the GM showed up.
GM: What happened?!
Me: I made a mess.....
GM: Yes, but what happened?
Me: *explains*
GM:
He then left me to clean up alone.
On the plus side though, the break room floor is as clean as it's been in quite a while.
