I'm used to doing dumb things LOL :D:D
|
That sounds like something I would do. Glad you have ideas to deal with the situation! :)
|
I'd cut it down, use a Joann's coupon & go buy or order on line a new one:+)

I thought my ruler was unbreakable, then my husband dropped it and then trod on it. We found out it's not unbreakable!! Oh well, at least you know you are not alone.

Please promise that you will never set your iron down on your chair. Grins!

I did almost the same thing just three days ago. Leaned a long ruler on the wall, it fell over and as I was walking heard that same crack you heard. Luckily I have two other long ones and have been using the two shorter pieces.

We all do those kind of things!

I read a great idea on this site a few weeks ago that might have helped avoid this situation. A reader wrote that she had holes placed on the end of all her rulers and hung them on a hook on the wall. Great idea to avoid breakage and misplacing the small ones.

I keep tossing mine onto the floor, all the time saying, "Now you know you're liable to step on that!" Guess I won't stop till I do.
