Okay, a really wierd thing happened to me over the weekend. Basically, I screwed the entire water systems in our house because of my stupid act.
Well, Basically I was bathing, and my shower was actually faulty. It was blasting out extremely hot water from the water tank in an extremely wide area in my shower area. Being a jackass, I wanted some hotter water, and overturned my heat tap to the max. My body started to burn and I jumped out of the shower.
I attempted to get back in there and turn off the shower, but I could not. The burning water was blocking me. It was totally impossible. Firstly, I turned off the heater (duh) and I did not want to turn off the valve connects to the kitchen and some cooking was going on in there. I waited for 15 mins and it was still burning hot and water was wasting away. It is a fairly large tank and I knew it would take another 15 mins to run out of hot water.
Pissed off, I turned the valve off to prevent too much wastage. Finally, the water stopped (but all over my house of course). It was only a matter of going in, switching off the tap, and turning the valve back on. That was when I tried to turn it back. It failed. The next moment, water started spurting out from the valve and it splashed all over my bathroom. The valve was screwed.
My parents came home and were pissed off. It was really mad. The valve was still spraying water onto the bathroom ceiling and I had ****** our watter supply to the house. They got really pissed. We called a plumber, and he finally fixed the valve and charged us like 70 bucks. Seriously ******.
When I told them my story, my parents kind of laughed, but did not take it too seriously thank god.
But that was when the problems started. The ceiling had been ****** by the water so much that it started to peel. All the paint started peeling all over, and it became impossible to use the toilet below. That is when my parents really started getting pissed off. They cut my goddam allowance for my stupidity.
I feel really stupid. I hate valves..arghh..
