A Mug's Shame
1 GoodGymer made their way to help an isolated older person in Brent.
- Thursday, 29th of February 2024
Mr B was in trouble. His wife of 50 years had gone on a long trip and told him to keep their home tidy. Meanwhile, the council had come and given him a shiny new kitchen (good) and left the items from his kitchen cabinets on the living room floor in bags (bad). And they were dusty (badder). Mr B realised that he needed to make this right before his wife returned 😰
Mr B was worried that the new kitchen had less storage space than the old one, so today GoodGym had sent one of their top Tardis physics experts, Sevan, to help Mr B store away his belongings. Sevan worked through each bag, removing items slowly, giving Mr B the chance to decide whether to keep it or not. Sevan soon learned that Mr B wouldn't be discarding anything. Instead, potentially discardable items were placed in a bin bag to be reviewed by Mrs B when she returned.
Sevan also learned that:
- Nigerians love to give personalised gifts as mementos
- Apparently you can never have too many food containers, even if the lids have gone walkies
- There was a secret cabinet door that Mr B didn't know about. Tardis physics delivered ✅
Sevan discovered, amongst other things, many pots and pans, lots of food containers (mostly empty), 3 teapots (S, M and L) and bags full of glasses and mugs. 4 unused travel mugs were also found.
Mr B was a generous guy. He offered Sevan mugs and glasses, which were politely declined. As each travel mug was found, Mr B hopefully asked if Sevan wanted it? Maybe Sevan's partner would want one? No and no, but thank you.
With the cupboards magically increasing in capacity, Sevan managed to store away all of the essentials. He was proud that Mr B managed to fill a large bin bag of items that he was considering discarding and with the living room floor cleared of belongings, no shame would come from his housekeeping efforts when Mrs B arrived home.
