Boil Your Water! (But let it cool)

By
Managing Real Estate Broker with Coldwell Banker Heart of Oklahoma OREC#86951

Saw this last night:

 

BOIL YOUR WATER

 

A woman complained to the local paper that the city was not clear enough on their order to boil water before using or drinking the water.

 

I am paraphrasing btw: "The city needs to provide clearer directions regarding the order to boil water. I was rushed to the emergency room with a scalded throat and blisters on my tongue after boiling my water. They city should provide more warnings and advise people that they don't have to drink the water while it is still boiling."

 

The bad thing is she was smart enough to write a letter to the editor and had correct grammar and punctuation, but incapable of determining that drinking boiling water was NOT a good idea.

They walk among us and they are reproducing.

Oh my gosh.  Very disturbing not only that she'd do such an unbelievable thing but that she'd acknowledge it in a Editorial!

More opinions than you want to hear about.

Reminds me of the signs in listed homes Please remove shoes.  They never tell you it's OK to put them back on when you leave!  Really tough in winter.

Kind of like the person who sued McDonald's for having coffee that was too hot--also a scalded mouth.

That is so sad that people aren't smart enough to not drink boiling water. I'm guessing there will be a lawsuit soon and in today's society, she may just win.
