Righty tighty, lefty loosey

Yesterday was my anniversary and my husband didn’t do anything for us. To make matters worse he actually ordered something for himself that arrived the day before. He totally was aware it was our day too. I didn’t bring it up because I’m tired of having to do all the work for it all the time but there is no way he could miss my mom’s singing of “happy anniversary to you” repeatedly over the answering machine.

That was icing on the cake after nearly two days of wrestling with my toilet that decided to spring a leak and totally stop working. When the plumbers came over they quoted me $515 bucks to fix it! I batted them out the door with my plunger and fixed it myself. A part that they were going to charge me $44.50 for was only .79 cents at the hardware store! And they wanted to charge me 400+ for the “emergency water shut off”. What! You shut your water main off just like you would a garden hose. Righty tighty, lefty loosey.

I paid 40 bigguns’ just to have them come out and tell me they like the way I re-did my bathroom. I want to be a plumber in my next life.
