Mattress dumping adventure
They say it never rains but pours - how right. Murphy’s law strikes again.
So we had a bus to catch to Los Angeles tonight and we were trying to dump all our stuff and clear our our room in the apartment (including our humongous, super huge mattress).
We dragged the stupid thing after quite some effort into the carpark where there was a garbage dump, but as luck would have it (#1), the apartment manager was there and he came up to us and told us we were not supposed to dump furniture in the dump. 
We had no other means to transport our mattress, so we had to haul it on the top of my Ford Explorer SUV, and thank god it had roof racks, so that provided some sort of friction for the bed.
We drove slowly to another dump, but again, the building owner was there and we had to yet drive to another location. And in the middle of El Camino Real (a huge main road), our mattress flipped upwards while moving at 25 miles per hour onto the road behind us! And guess what - it was the wind that did it. Geeez.
We had to halt the car at the side of the road and run back to pull the stupid thing out of the middle of the road! Yes, it was in the middle of the road blocking 2 damn lanes…
To cut a long story short, we took 1.5 hours to get rid of that one mattress… Murphy’s law indeed.
