Default Doh... just got a shower courtesy of the toilet

The float was sticking so I went to adjust it. Apartment maintenance replaced the whole float mechanism with some cheap shit and the entire tube broke shooting water everywhere.

Then guess what...****.... the shut off knob broke off

I finally found the main water shut off for the apartment, but on the bright side, I don't have to wash down the bathroom or mop the floors for a while.

Now I know how it feels to be Porter for a a few minutes.

This broke


causing something like this from the tank

of course it did. Their sole job is to give a false sense of security; and not to shut off the water supply in an emergency.

Nice thing about owning a home is you don't have to put up with cheap Chinese trash. My toilet is bullet proof. Been running the same appliances for 25 years.

But if you think we've got it bad because of that check out some of the videos about what's happening in China. All those new buildings and roads they've built that nobody uses are turning to dust. Won't be long after chasing off foreign investors till they're living in the middle ages again with mud brick huts and dirt roads. It's crazy.

Is this Karma for posting a "Shitters" thread?
