...so long as you have insurance.

As you may or may not know I just got back from a family vacation to Japan. When we came in the kitchen there was a small puddle of water near the fridge. Sometimes that happens in our house with the fridge and dishwasher so it didn't seem all that strange. In fact it could have been the person that was house-sitting for us had dropped some ice on the floor. So when my parents moved the fridge back just to check, we were surprised to realize there was a leak in the water hose thing for the fridge and water was soaking into the floor (which is bad).

I was gone for a couple weeks and forgot that this had happened when I got back I was informed of the schedule for all the contract work being done. But since this involves water damage there's a whole process of drying out the floor that has to be done before they can replace the tile and fix the fridge. Lucky for us our insurance covers the cost of the repairs for the floor.

If you've never had work done on your kitchen then you may not realize that working on the kitchen floor means that everything has to be taken out to access it, like all those silly little appliances such as your fridge, dishwasher, and stove. Who needs to eat anyways? Not me.

Why insurance is awesome reason #2:

When you no longer have a stove, your fridge is in the dining room, and your counters and cabinets are inaccessible, it makes cooking impossible. So we have to eat all our meals out. But isn't that expensive? Darn right it is. That's why the insurance is covering the cost for us to go out to eat for all our meals. As someone that loves food almost as much as her cat, this is a most excellent deal.

TL;DR

Flood your kitchen, get free food.
