Default Another bowl incident!

This one was weird. Two bowls, nested in the dishpan. Different brands. The
outer one had a ridge around it, just down from where the lid would rest.
The Pyrex one was stuck inside. I think the bowls were the same size but
slightly different shapes. The Pyrex one has a flat lip at the top. I could
not get it out, because I couldn't grab a hold of the lip.

I moved both bowls out of the dishpan to the empty sink next to it. All I
did was attempt to tip them sideways until the inside bowl slid out. Did not
get that far! The outer bowl shattered, mostly into square little pieces the
size of fish tank gravel. A few pieces were slightly bigger. Despite my best
efforts, about a cup of glass went down the sink.

The glass was surprisingly thick so of course bunged up the disposal yet
again. But this time, he was home and helped me with it. His hands are
stronger and he was able to use the tool more easily than me.

I'm starting to get frightened of glass bowls. They shouldn't break this
easily!
