Hi, first time writer, long time fan; I love the strange stories and thought I ought to share a recent strange occurrence.
A few days ago I was working in my garage turned office, trying to get some blueprints done for a model. It must have been around eleven at night, I was really in a groove, and then all of a sudden I heard a deafening crash. Apparently it even woke some neighbors, who in kindness called the police thinking I was being robbed or assaulted.
However, the truth was a little more curious than a typical breaking and entering as I discovered when I went inside to examine the noise. Every single shelf and cabinet in my house had somehow angled itself towards the floor. The crash was from all my junk shifting and sliding into cabinet walls or off and onto the floor.
I must have lost over two thousand dollars in dishware and other breakable goods, which was upsetting. The crash was strange and from an architect's point of view, unfounded. Shelves I could maybe have understood, some very rare house shifting could maybe cause that, but as I was examining the damage for my insurance report I found that the cabinets had all been "cut and installed" wrongly. These things were all placed by me and I do good work and have never had a problem for the twelve years I've owned the house. So to find the cabinets angled because of a "poor installation" is wildly mind blowing. Furthermore, all the new angles were precisely fifteen degrees.
Right now I'm reinstalling all the cabinets and shelves, replacing the broken items, and filing insurance claims, but I thought I ought to share my little happening. Maybe a reader has some insight.
