No REALLY, it is. I have to believe that because the alternative is, that after 44 years I have somehow lost the ability to flush a toilet correctly, and THAT cannot be possible. I mean THAT cannot be a skill a person loses right? Apparently....WRONG!
Let me explain...
For the last couple of weeks every time I flush the toilet the handle sticks and the toilet continues to run..and run..AND run.
EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
I know what you're thinking...it's a STICKY HANDLE DUMB ASS.
Nope....it's possessed.
I am the ONLY one this happens to. The hubs seems to have no problem with the demons. HE thinks it's in my "toilet flushing technique". HE is an idiot. Toilet flushing technique? What does that even mean?
Now I am pissed. I mean what kind of dysfunctional moron does he think I am? So, I march him into the bathroom for a mock demonstration.
I sit...conclude said business...stand...turn... place two fingers on the lever, and push. Rarely do I deviate from this sequence. After evaluation of angle, finger placement and force, the hubs concludes that my 'technique' is adequate. What a relief.
We return to the other room and then,......run..Run..RUN!!!! What. The. Fuck.
Now, I'm obsessed. Now, I have to stand there, wiggle the handle and wait until the toilet fills and stops running. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
This is ridiculous.
Last night, I crawl into bed after my nightly bedtime routine. I get all comfy and am just about to doze off when...
Yup....run..Run...RUN!!!
And I thought the memory was the first thing to go...Sigh.
Hey my amazon friend! I've missed you! I hate running toilets and I totally believe you when you say yours is possessed. I believe you because we have ghosts over here. Which explains why my bathroom door closes on me all by itself every time the air conditioner clicks on and the door sits at a specific angle. No, Silly! It's not physics! It's ghosts! Ghosts I can handle. Physics is REALLY scary!
ReplyDeleteNo, the mind isnt the first thing to do, it's the toilet flushing technique!!! OMG...that is so funny!!! That you had to demonstrate for dh. HOW FUNNY
ReplyDeleteLOLA..my little Midget Friend..oh how I've missed you. It's taken longer than I thought, but I think I am once again finding the "Funny"..it feels GOOD! And you could not be MORE correct..GHOST are totally okay, but PHYSICS..Don't EVEN go there!! Can't wait to catch up on all your Funny!!!
ReplyDeleteYes Lori..he couldn't just 'take my word for it'..I had to give him a demonstration of my 'technique'..I should really just JUNK PUNCH him at times..Lol!
ReplyDeleteYay I love blogs about toilets! (for real)
ReplyDeleteAQ, I happen to be a toilet savant (no, really), so if you want to take a picture of the inside of your toilet tank before the flush and then when it is running, I can most likely tell you exactly how to fix it easily. It may not "stick" for DH now, but probably will at some point if the only reason it works for one of you and not the other is a minor difference in "technique". Thanks for the LOLs!
Oh Shirley..you came into my life just a little too late..the toilet demons were left in Wash. State while we were on the Road..SO FAR, they haven't seemed to follow me home. BUT IF THEY DO...I will be calling on your Expertise!! ;-)
