Why Me?
Yesterday, I got to work and started to unpack things from my bag, just as I normally do. I pulled out my big, insulated water bottle and held it against my body to leave my hands free. I quickly discovered that I had grapefruit juice down the front of my light colored top. Why me? Packing my lunch the night prior, I put some grapefruit slices in a container. I strained them and the container had a rubber gasket in the lid and four tightly snapped clasps. I thought about putting it in a ziploc baggie as I usually do, but thought, “It’s never leaked before.” I further discovered grapefruit juice in the bottom of my brand new bag that I had just gotten as a gift for Christmas. I went about cleaning up my bag and my shirt, but when I opened up my insulated lunch pouch to clean it up, it was dry. Huh? How did that happen?!? How did it leak in my bag and get on my shirt and not even wet the pouch it was in? The closest I can guess is that the spot that leaked from the container was perfectly aligned with the corner of the zipper on the pouch and dripped through it without wetting the pouch. I could not do that if I tried!
