TIFU trying to be helpful

So this actually just happened, well at least we found out about it right now.

Our company fridge freezer had been completely overrun by ice. I had asked our little handy guy to fix it about 17 times (probably more but who is counting?)

Finally the door wont shut and all the food is warming up and the milk going off. I decided I would be a good manager and show that even management can get their hands dirty.

So I took on the task of defrosting the freezer. I have done this at home before but my fridge is pretty good and has an anti frost thing so I normally pull off the ice and then the freezer is back to normal.

No this one had the titanic iceberg attached to it. (This is also a little bar fridge.) So I did my best chipping away at it. I was feeling pretty good about the fact that I got in their in my business skirt on the dirty floor and removed this huge ice block.

So of course I went around telling everyone, see management can get their hands dirty. I cleaned out the ice from the fridge, pat me on the back. (Cringing now)

Cue this morning arrive to work and something in the kitchen smells like death. The smell was so bad it could have turned the hardest of stomachs.

Then my heart sinks I figure out it is coming from the fridge. I opened the door and yes the smell is located in the area that I had spent a good hour working on yesterday day. So I opened it up and all the yellow oil is pouring out of the side of the ice box. It has gone through the whole fridge, all the food is covered in yellow oil, that kind of smells like burnt plastic, mixed with spoiling milk.

I see the reason, in my enthusiasm to get rid of this ice, I must have hit it too hard and punctured a hole through the ice box, and now there is cooling liquid pouring through the fridge.

I called the service company, they had a good laugh at me and (I quote) "You fucked the fridge."

So now we have no fridge, and I need to run out and go buy a new one. Luckily my company sees the really funny side to this.

TL:DR I tried to be helpful, but I was too enthusiastic cleaning the fridge and now I need to buy a new one
