Little Bit of a Mishap

I was following my usual routine today while getting ready for work. I will usually plug my curling iron into the bathroom outlet, and then do other things in my apartment while waiting for it to heat up. I got distracted watching Dexter, (Trinity... wtf?) and left it alone for 15 minutes or so (which is not that long and usually completely fine). I suddenly started to smell something burning. I walked into my bathroom to find my curling iron literally melting away before my eyes. I had plugged it in directly to the adapter without using the voltage converter. This, by the way, is not the first time I have done this. The other times I just singed my hair off and realized my mistake.





Who knew that this is what would happen when you forget to plug in the stupid voltage converter? Well, probably a lot of people....
Many singed hairs, a completely bent and melted curling iron, and coming very close to setting my apartment on fire: lesson learned (hopefully).
