Overflowing Toilets, How They Vex Me...

The BBQ Pit

Shit. And water. Everywhere.

My mother-in-law is staying with us this week to help my wife with our newest baby. Fine. I have no issues with my in-laws.

However, this morning, Mother-in-Law gets up, apparently stops up the toilet, and, upon noticing the water did not drain out, flushed again. And again, and again.

The nasty water spilled over the entire bathroom floor, soaking the carpets and mats. Fucking nasty.

But it didn’t stop there, the water was adventurous. It had to explore the closet, the carpet in the guest bedroom, the carpet in the hallway, and even the carpet in the master bedroom.

Doesn’t common sense tell you that if your toilet is about to overflow, for fuck’s sake, DON’T FLUSH AGAIN!!

So, we use all the towels in the house to try to absorb the water, and borrow a shop-vac from a friend to try to dry out the carpet.

I’m so pissed off right now I can’t even think straight.

Gah! :mad:

Wow, something like that happened a few weeks ago at my job. Only this was a kid who repeatedly flushed the toilet. Then, when the bathroom was practically UNDER WATER, runs to me, says “The toilets overflowing” and abruptly vanishes. I figured since I was the first one to hear about it, and since that was the ONLY BATHROOM IN THE CENTER, it would be a good idea to get it cleaned up pronto.

Oh man, what a nightmare that was! I mopped up all the poo water, but for the life of me couldn’t get the toilet unclogged (they later had to call a plumber). Just being in that nasty bathroom caused my clothes to reek :eek:

This Thanksgiving as she’s sitting across the dinner table from you shoveling a plate of food into her mouth I wonder what’s going to be running through your mind.

Hee hee. I just reliazed something, Lieu. Your name rhymes with ‘poo’. Hee hee :smiley:

Don’t let it get ot you Lieu. Just flush that accusation out of your mind.

That kind of humor from Incubus, swirling around, stinking up the place, overflowing with bad taste - is just not acceptable in here.

:stuck_out_tongue:

That sucks! We had our sewer line back up into our basement once. Imagine if you will the joy I felt when I discovered this. Besides having to have the county come out to unclog the line, the hideous cleanup and disposal of what was already disposed of once and the property damage, the ^%$! insurance company wouldn’t cover any of it!!

Oh, and I hope you’re REALLY good friends with the person lending you the shop vac…
