Oh my....that sounded like quite the ordeal....lol. Sorry you had so much trouble!
Several years ago, there was a burnt out light in the bathroom that I changed and it had the globe where you have to secure all the little screws evenly. Well I guess I didnt get it in evenly because while my roommate was getting ready to take a shower it came crashing down into the sink. She was like "I AM NAKED AND THERE IS GLASS EVERYWHERE!" lol Whoopsie!
