lefty loosey...righty tighty...
Early this morning I asked my roomie to go out to the pump house (a dark, creepy shed with spiders and other icky bugs) to turn off the water to the house so I could fix the toilet...
After he returned, I told him we needed to "bleed the lines", so I opened the kitchen faucet and had him open the tub faucet...
Water kept pouring out at full pressure...I get impatient and ask "are you SURE you turned the water off??".... he responded yes....more time goes by, water still at full pressure ....Uggggg...
Me: Are you REALLY sure you turned the right valve off??
Him: Yes! There's a bunch of water in them pipes between the shed and house!
Me: I hate going out to that shed. (Grumble grumble)
I grab the flashlight and we both tromp through the rain to the creepy shed...
I get to the pump and ask which valve is it? (With a black one and red one sticking out from under the pipe insulation)
THAT ONE!!
I reach for it (after cussing at the spiders) and giggle as I find it turned COMPLETELY WIDE OPEN...I giggle again as I told him he turned it the WRONG WAY...and emphasized "Lefty Loosey Righty Tighty, hon...RIGHTY Tighty"
He walks out embarrassed, and I cuss at more spiders as I giggle at my roommate.
A few minutes later after fixing the toilet, I ask him to turn water back on...as I hear him leave the house, he's chanting "Lefty Loosey...LEFTY LOOSEY..."
