Bad Bait = Divorce

[fishpoopoo]

a few years back i had an electrician come in to render some repairs.

my chest freezer, loaded with various frozen wild fish-stuffs (bait and otherwise), was right next to the fuse box.

electrician didn't tell me he had to unplug the chest freezer to access the fuse box.

which he did.

then he forgot to plug it back in.

given the freezer was hermetically sealed, more or less, i didn't find out about until a few weeks later, when i went to fetch a filet for din-din.

i gagged for a few seconds when i opened the lid.

i fumed for a week after that. you can only imagine the verbal abuse that company got from me. i was so pissed i was gonna hire a lawyer.

company ended up paying me dearly for the mistake.

Don't have a bait gone bad story, but my brother unplugged the freezer in the basement that my parents let me store a butchered deer in. He went to plug in a amp or some recording equipment and never plugged it back in. Lost about 60lbs of meat that was left. Parents couldn't figure out the smell - when I stopped by and my Dad asked me to see if I could figure out the smell - it took me about 30 seconds to realize what it was. Took a long time to get that smell out of the freezer and basement....
