A Bengaluru resident, Aditya Das, recently recounted a comical mishap involving his roommate that had social media buzzing. Sharing his experience on X (formerly Twitter), Das revealed how his flatmate had accidentally left the geyser on for an astounding four months while they were both away visiting their hometowns.
Das wrote, “Flatmate left the geyser running for 4 months while we were out. AMA.” The tweet instantly went viral, inviting a storm of witty remarks and mixed reactions. One user joked, “At least you’ve got hot water now,” while another commented, “Time to rename it to Final Destination: Appliance Edition.”
While most responses were lighthearted, the incident also sparked practical discussions. Several users highlighted that modern geysers are equipped with auto-cut mechanisms to prevent overheating. However, others cautioned that faulty thermostats could lead to serious damage, such as burnt heating elements, making it crucial to unplug unused devices during extended absences.
Curious minds debated the likely electricity cost of the mishap. A user estimated, “A 2kW geyser might consume 8 kWh/day, costing ₹2k/month. Adding fixed charges, the bill could hit ₹4k/month.”
The story became a humorous reminder to double-check appliances before leaving home for long periods. It also showcased how even mundane oversights can spark valuable conversations.
