Have any of you ever had your significant other call you at work stating that there is a problem with somthing you though was just resolved recently and then after 3 phone calls and not knowing what it could possibly be the significant other laughs and relizes what had happend?
Well it seems to happen to me on a regular basis.
Here is my most recent one. Over my New Years vacation this year we had a plumbing problem with the riser trap on the tub and it leaking severly into the celling above the kitchen. So i fixed the clog and fixed the rotted out trap. Well my wife calls me today telling me the tub is backing up again but she checked and its not leaking. I tell her to open the trap see if there is any water moving or is she sees the clog. She then calls me back and states there is not water in the trap and the tub is not draining. So I tell her to run some water and see if it moves into the trap and she states no. As i;m thinking about what the problem could be and how to fix it she says “oh never mind, I accidently hit the drain plug” :rolleyes:
So in light of that I came up with a simple list alomost anyone can use prior to calling their significant other at work and causing them stress.
Enjoy and I love you Jenn
