@ShayP So you dropped a full gallon of paint on your carpet??!!?? Accident of course but why was the can open? why were you walking with paint? What were the plans here?
@KSM Yes I did. Well, the can wasn't open at first. I was shaking it instead of stirring. Just holding the can sideways shaking away. I could've stirred it but...I don't know. Somehow a seam in the lid wasn't tight and paint started splashing out, so I panicked. and in trying to hold the lid and rectify that situation I fumbled it and it went topside down and there was no choice. Nothing I could do but watch it spread all over.
I blame my clumsiness first and foremost. However, I hate these plastic lids. I want the metal ones that would stay on and were a bitch to open.
Anyway, the plan was to walk from my utility room where the paint was stored, through the area where I ruined the carpet, and then into the hallway to paint. Had I not shaken the can, I'd be fine. I'm a dumbass.
