Cound be. She said the seal was really tight (which, well, is what you want with a homecanned jam) and that she might’ve chipped it.
I still feel bad though. Last thing anyone needs is hospitalization for something dumb like that (and she is extremely high risk due to some serious chronic lung conditions).

Either way it is IN NO WAY something you caused.
If your friend is saying things to make you feel guilty, rather than just sharing a scary story that turned out totally fine (which would be a super asshole move considering you went to the trouble to send her homemade goods!), you might try not to add to the lies by shaming yourself for something you did not do.

No, she wasn’t trying to make me feel guilty. She said I should try and get my shipping refunded since it may have been damaged in transit. Which, I didn’t pay for insurance, so that seems unlikely.

An airbnb guest trashed the place and left the iron, switched on, resting face down on wood furniture for hours. I don’t understand why there wasn’t a fire.

WTF. Also, I don’t understand people. What is fun about trashing a place?

Drugs. Partying like a rock star.

Having fronted a metal band for several years, it must have been the drugs part I was missing. I think the worst I’ve done was stack pizza boxes next to the trash can and leave a can (upright and empty mind you) in the floor.

My kids’ dad was in a metal band before we got together and he does not share your approach. Possibly humans are diverse. It’s a theory.
Assuming that my theory is correct, you are one of the better humans.

You have more past lives than me I think.

Also I have toured with several bands and we never trashed a place. Though we did break into the hilton’s fitness room at 3AM once to use the treadmills… But the bands were emo bands and harry potter rock bands…so we might be a bad sample.
ETA: I will say congressional staffers trashed the hospitality suite like I have never seen before.
Sorry @Smacky that sucks. I’m glad there’s no fire

It’s plastic, not wood. There will be no sanding out and refinishing. Maybe a table runner to hide it? Or paint? Wallpaper?

I like the runner idea. I generally like those even when I’m not hiding something.

OMG staffers are nuts. And I thought we swore creatively on the docks. I’ve never heard profanity like what comes out of elected officials mouths.

Contact paper works exceedingly well! I’ve had mine top of dresser for 3 years with no wear showing. You can easily get a pattern to match the decor and changing it out if someone else does something stupid. Also takes like 2 mins to put down.

Remember the congressional staffers are taking the weight of the country on themselves, average like 21.5 years old, and make like $11.50/hr, despite living in one of the most expensive cities in the world. They live like sardines packed in group houses. And they work like 80+ hours a week and are exempt from all workplace laws, including OHSA. There’s a reason they are that way.

Girl Kitty keeps literally swinging from the curtain rod in the living room while I am in meetings trying to talk intelligently about my project.

I feel like the Airbnb gets trashed a lot. Aside from the already mentioned comments, what is wrong with people??
When I stay in hotels I make sure every thing is ready for the cleaners - towels in the shower, garbage in the garbage, Recycling, etc. I would never dream of leaving trash on the counters or desks or fridges.
