sink's spraying water everywhere—what do you grab first?

Okay, picture this: you're half-asleep, it's like 2 AM, and suddenly there's this weird hissing noise from the bathroom. You stumble in there, flip the light switch, and BAM, your faucet handle pops off like a champagne cork and water starts spraying everywhere. You're standing there barefoot, half-blind, and panicking. What's the first thing you reach for or do next? Curious how you'd handle this chaos...

First thing I'd do is shut off the water supply under the sink—usually two valves, hot and cold. If they're stuck (which happens more often than you'd think), head straight to the main shut-off valve. Towels and buckets come after you've stopped the flow.
