Thanks Dell
Last night I was asleep in my bed when my father awakes me with some alarming news. Dell has initiated a mass recall of it's laptop batteries. Apparently they are capable of overheating and I believe the term "explode into a fiery ball" came to my mind when he was describing(in detail) the possible complications of these faulty batteries. My father then tells me to take out the battery before the house burns down.
After some useless attempts I couldn't get the battery out at that time without a screwdriver. Being tired and just wanting to go to bed, I countered with the remarks "It's not even using the battery right now since it's plugged in," "It's not even on,"and "If the house burns down you can blame me." Unfortunately my Dad was not going to listen to any of those, so I jokingly state that we could just put it in the bathtub incase it should spontaneously combust. So guess where my laptop is now... That's right folks- it's in the bathtub. Apparently it was a genius idea. I got to sleep and Dad had peace of mind.
Dell, You can send me a new battery but I want those 15 minutes of sleep back.
