Water pipe construction crew has great timing

Funny thing happened this morning. There’s a sign on the main door to my apartment building saying that the water today would be turned off today from 8am to 4pm.

I was all ready for work, except I didn’t put anything in my hair yet. I looked over at my clock and it said 8:10am. Just for kicks I tried turning on the water, sure enough, it actually turned on. Smirking to myself, “ha! isn’t that funny how things don’t actually work on a tight schedule.”

I went ahead and put some gel on my hands to put into my hair. I go to wash my hands and the water is turned off! It was 8:12am. What timing! Thankfully, I had a couple bottles of water next to me just in case. But still. How about that? 8:10am water on. 8:12am water off. Haha.

They had probably already turned it off, and you just used up the last of the pressure testing to see if it was still working.
