WOMEN KICK ASS

[lauralh]

(in honor of jeremy)

Today Reg IM'd me that the toilet was broken. Apparently it kept running water and never filling up. So he called up the landlord and shut its valve off in the meantime. Understandable, as he is a mere male who is puzzled by advanced technology such as a toilet. As soon as I got home, I started filling the bowl with water. As he claimed, it just kept draining. So I adjusted the metal beads attached to the flush handle innards - well, I mean, it's a little technical for my male readers, so I'll just call it a "thingy" - and the stopper formed a full seal. Turned it back on, and voila. Working toilet.

It's lucky for him he has a woman around the house.

My toilet does that. It was doing it when I got home a few minutes ago, in fact. Because my roommates apparently can't deal with opening the tank up and jiggling the thingy.

Hehe..

He needs the woman to drive the stick.

She actually can't drive a stick, and yours truly is a manual master. I have to hang on to some of my male dignity, dammit.

Nah, My comment was aimed at jeremy who is forsaking his masculinity by buying an automatic.

As for you I just figured that you couldn't be bothered by such a trivial task. Just like when you had her fix your computer.

It was either that or it was simply a bi-product of the whole metro sexuality thing.

Call me sexist, but a female plumber is just so sexy.
Maybe it's the plumbers crack. :)

Commode reminiscences

I managed to fix that on my apartment's toilet a few months ago, but, then, toilets are my only area of handyman expertise (thanks to when I fixed the toilets at the all-girls summer camp).

I was so elated that I'd expertly fixed the toilet, that I then tried to fix the leaky faucet (which, in hindsight, only needed a 70-cent washer). I wound up spending $25 trying to fix all of the parts I broke, and, eventually, destroyed the entire sink beyond use.
