I won't say my kitchenette sink is broken. It's just a little bit wonky. The drainpipe under the sink is just snapped on. Thus, if I am moving something around under the sink, it's possible for the drainpipe to snap off. It's easy to fix – just snap it back on.
Yesterday I took out some of my recycling, and so I was pulling the bag out from under the sink. I guess the pipe snapped off.
Normally, when this happens, I notice immediately – the water runs down out from under the sink cabinet, instead of down its drainpipe, and onto the floor where I'm standing. This is hard not to notice, and thus I will stop, mop up the spilled water, and move on.
Last night, we had hwehsik (회식 = work dinner). It went quite late. I am not drinking alcohol, because of my ongoing surgical procedures, but… I was really groggy when I got up this morning. Fuzzy-brained. Out of it.
For some reason, I decided I needed to do the dishes, first thing when I got up. The sink was full of dishes, and they were in the way of filling my coffee pot. I have been busy with work, lately, so I had been letting the dishes pile up a bit – as much as they can, given my limited supply. So I started doing dishes. I did them all.
Somehow, I was utterly oblivious to the river flowing at my feet. I guess that sets a new standard for groggy.
I flooded my apartment.
My bed, being on the floor, served as absorptive material to mop it all up. Now I am doing a lot of laundry.
On the plus side, my floor has been cleaned.
Never wash dishes before having coffee.

I probably shouldn’t be laughing, but this made me giggle. We are SO related! I should not do anything before coffee, so I am not surprised that you didn’t notice. Rejoice in the clean floor and clean bedding. One more task not on the “to do” list…like the dishes.
That sounds like an Eliza-bumple move to me.
