That one Tuesday where everything went sideways on a bathroom floor

I had a job last week in a tiny apartment bathroom, maybe 6x8 feet. Started at 8am with a buddy helping me carry the tile up three flights of stairs. By noon the tile cutter blade went dull and I spent an hour driving to Home Depot for a replacement. Then the homeowner's cat got locked in the bathroom with wet thinset and we had to chase it around the bedroom for 20 minutes. Has anyone else dealt with a pet sabotage situation mid-job?

Murphy's Law always shows up on the smallest jobs lol

@tyler6 nah, the big jobs are where it really hides and waits to strike.

Honestly, are you sure Murphy's Law doesn't actually hit harder on the big stuff? The small jobs usually just annoy you for a few minutes, but a major project can derail your whole week. I've seen it play out way more dramatically when there's a lot on the line.
