Default Food mishap

I had an accident earlier that led to solving a couple of mysteries.

I mentioned that I made Mrs. Grass soup for dinner. I have also mentioned in
the past, the horrible lazy Susan cupboards that I have. The one that I use
for canned soup/meat/chili/etc. has been weird for some time now. One day I
just couldn't turn it fully around and could figure out why. And now I know.

In getting the box of soup, I accidentally knocked a can off the side of the
shelf and it flew towards the back corner to where I could barely see it.
And in looking for it with a flashlight, I spotted a small red lid to one of
the Rubbermaid containers that Angela got me for Christmas a few years ago.
Since the lid was flat, it must have Frisbeed out of the draining rack or
something where it sat, inside and behind and under the edge of the shelf.
It was somehow stuck there and I accidently pushed it in to where I couldn't
see it at all. I think my moving the turntable back and forth repeatedly had
dislodged in to begin with. And then?

I now have an assortment of cans on the kitchen floor that I will put back
after I finish eating, but way in the back, visible only when using a
flashlight and making like a bendy worm did I discover the real problem.
Three plastic cups of pineapple, one loose, two in cardboard sleeve. Now
brown as they expired in 2009. Also a can of Fred Meyer kidney beans. When
did they switch from that brand? Some time ago I think. And some kind of
white beans. Some odd brand that I don't even remember buying.

And now? Cupboard moves freely!

Hopeless cause. How can any one person have so many "happenings" in one
lifetime?

A few years ago she couldn't figure out how to cut shelf paper to fit
the corner lazy susan cabinet. I remember people trying to explain how
to cut a pie-shape for the shelves. Even with diagrams she kept saying
she didn't understand it. I've had one of those lazy susan corner
cabinets in a kitchen. Loved it! But yes, sometimes things will fall
behind it. Not things that get left there for years, though.

Okay.

And then a bunch of crap. Because of course the red Rubbermaid lid flew
off the dish draining rack and landed right in the back of the lazy
susan cabinet. Where it was lost for years.

What the hell does this mean?

Good lord, woman. Maybe you should have looked in there before.

The pie shape wouldn't work with this. I did put non slip stuff in there and
did figure out how to put it in. It's not a perfect fit but it works.

And yours must not be as big as mine then. I play hell every time something
flies off the side to get it back out again. These things somehow got into
that back corner which is totally blind. I only discovered them by using a
flashlight and a hook.

Not a bunch of crap. Two cans of beans, the fruit and the missing lid.

Apparently I didn't structure that sentence correctly. The found items were
so far into the back corner, I could only see them with a flashlight and by
using a hook.

I did. Many times. As I said, they were only visible with a flashlight and
hook.
