When our toilet broke, it was the worst time to have any breakdown.
My child was having a sleepover, & I didn’t want the kids running up & down the steps.
They were having the party in the basement, & that was the bathroom that was broken; I called the local plumber & told him I had an emergency plumbing repair, however he laughed & told me that when it came to plumbing repairs, they were all an emergency. I told him about the slumber party & asked if there was any way he could possibly repair the toilet before the kids started arriving. He asked how outdated the kids were. I told him there were fifteen screaming teenaged ladies, & I wanted them in the basement where there was sound proofing. He laughed & said he could be at the apartment within an hour & do the plumbing repairs, from what I told him, the main problem was that there was a blockage in the pipe that was causing the toilet to overflow. I didn’t care what the problem was; I just wanted it fixed… An hour later, the plumber was at the apartment laboring on the toilet. He called our husband downstairs & asked if he had lost something; Someone had tried to flush a singing fish down the toilet. He said his kids hated the thing, & maybe they were afraid he would show the fish to his daughter’s friends. The plumber was surprised it could get in the toilet drain, however it was no longer connected to the base.
