So, there we are, standing in the "fixtures" aisle. Looking at GULPERS. We are replacing the ridiculous low flow toilet in the main bath with an honest-to-God toilet. You know, the kind your Gramma still has. One that flushes more than a tsp of anything. Our handy friend (a.k.a. Home Depot employee - David) seemed completely befuddled and not only tried to talk me out of this but showed me about 6 toilets that are "water savers" and are more eco-friendly. We were not on the same page, dear reader.
Finally, I had to get my point across. I looked the man in the eye and said "I live with three men. They have man friends. They do not expell a tsp at a time. I want a toilet that could possibly suck out their innards if they sit too long while flushing. I want a toilet that when flushed will make my neighbour's water pressure plummet."
After he finished holding his knees, crying with laughter....we got our toilet. I cannot wait to flush it.
That is so funny. How embarassing that you had to explain why you didn't want the water saver. I live with 2 men here too and I couldn't agree more. We have to keep plungers in the boys bathroom.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog. It's nice to meet a fellow garage sale addict.
Good lord, sounds like you live with some "manly" men! Haha, I hate to see what happens when the low flow toilets can't cope!
ReplyDeleteAMEN! That's the kind of toilet we have in our basement adjacent to my hubs future man den. That thing could flush a bowling ball, I'm sure!
ReplyDeleteSadly, I have to replace my upstairs toilet, which is the cute 50's minty green. Ho-hum... but I'm definitely getting a real toilet!
OMGoodness I'm laughing so hard you've brought tears to my eyes. I really love the idea of a toilet that might just suck out the innards if they sit long enough, ha ha, too funny girl! Hey I could use a toilet that when all a kid or husband for that matter has is Montazuma's revenge it doesn't decide to come back up at you and color the white tile brown, yuck! Sorry for being so graphic, but hey that's me!
ReplyDeleteLoving the picture! See that's why men pee all over the place, they start practicing when they are 3!
P.S. My husband and I will be waiting in our raincoats if you want to join us, lo!
