Domestic irritation.

[bunn]

Our cooker hood stopped working. 
-I checked for possible solutions in the manual
- I looked on the web
- I disassembled the hood and took all the screws out to check for blown fuses and checked the wiring with my electrical screwdriver
- I couldn't work out why there was no electricity going to the thing at all. 
- I thought maybe my screwdriver electrical detector thing was broken so I experimented, and managed to explode it.  Now I need a new screwdriver.

Finally, I took everything out of the cupboards.  And found the sodding switch right at the back of one of them, that had got turned off through inappropriate positioning of the tomato ketchup.

grrrrr.

That was probably my fault!

Could just as easily have been me: I'm just annoyed with myself that that was the last thing I checked!

Are you sure it wasn't one of the Bungles? Having spent many early mornings waged in epic battles with various Bungles bent on kitchen-based mischief, I tend to assume that no food-related evil is beyond them.

Hmm. Now you mention it this seems extremely likely!

Oh dear, how very annoying

Hmm. At least you have Solved The Mystery. There are days when these things happen, just as today gravity seems to be especially strong and things want to plummet.
