My toilet is running . . .

[sportschick]

where do you think it's going?





(I can't call the landlord until tomorrow and I'm not switching the innards on my own).

I heard it's chasing the refrigerator.

The toilet's running, Christ, shake the handle
And the telephone's ringing and it's Mrs. Randall
And where the hell are my ******* sandals?
Whaddya mean the dog chewed my left one?

Tom Waits threadjack aside, if shaking the handle doesn't work you can take the tank cover off and push the plunger down to seal the drain. Also check to see that the chain hasn't fallen off the handle, which would render shaking the handle useless.

Stan's on top of the refrigerator. Maybe it's trying to get him!

I turned the water off, so technically it isn't running anymore. It's been an ongoing issue since I moved in almost two years ago. Normally when I jiggle the handle it stops running, but that didn't work tonight.

Then you better go catch it.

Good thing the refrigerator's not running.

 

[Smallpotatoes]

Tell it to stop.

Is the handle reset all the way up after it flushes? If not, that can cause it to run and irritate the crap out of you.

Also, pulling the plunger up tends to get the toilet to pipe down.

...and boy, are it's arms tired





wait.

 

[Football_Bat]

It wouldn't be running if Prince Albert was on the can.

Or something like that. ;D

 

[Fenian_Bastard]

Good god, now we have to call a plumber to the Great House Of Fail.

 

[Sam Mills 51]

Now to see if SC's plumbing story can hold a candle to 21's ...

 

[alleyallen]

Do you have Bayer aspirin?

Well you'd better cover it up before it catches cold.

What I would give to have that one saved somewhere...the Midnight Plumber. My undying gratitude to you for remembering it. 8)

 

[trifectarich]

Two years!?!? I'm guessing the water comes with your rent and you don't pay for it separately.

If I ever draw sportschick in Secret Santa1, I know what I'm sending her:

1Assuming I ever had time to sign up for SS, which deadlines while I'm in the middle of 50 million things at work. (Shaddup, IJAG! )

 

[sportschick]

For the record, 2mcm, I can change the tiolet innards on my own, dammit!!!

I just figured I should ask my landlord first. Course the last time I asked, they came out, jiggled the handle and told me no work was needed. If they tell me that **** this time, I will pull the pink innards out myself.

Ah ... a wench with a wrench.

Pink innards? Sounds like a gutsy move ...

 

[sportschick]

I cannot spell toilet, generally.

I ran spell check this time
