Shit that annoys you

It's a minor annoyance, but still...

Attachment 453059

@evdog Post some pictures. You don't want to fuck around with possible leaks. Crossing your fingers is not the way to go. I'm not really sure what you are describing but, peace of mind comes from replicating the problem and then fixing it. Just remember plumbing is a collection of $.05 Chinese pieces of garbage that are preventing your house from flooding.

First check the undersink plumbing. Empty the vanity and line the bottom with paper towels so any leaks are obvious. Fill the sink and drains. Run all the faucets. Ifs its a double sink, do both as they may be tied together. Disassemble and clean the trap (should be slip joint if newer). Its hard to know how difficult in would be to to pull the vanity without looking at the install.

Not sure how hard that will be but I'm sure it will be a pain in the ass. Haven't seen any more water since.... is it worth yanking out? Don't want any water sitting under there long term. Either way it's annoying.

What about your toilet? We've had what you describe happen in two bathrooms due to the toilets.

The first thing you should do is figure out who took a shower with nozzle aimed towards the floor and didn't bother wiping uo.

I'm almost always on cruise control so it's glaring how many people do it.

Drives me fucking nuts

This.

My panacea is 340 bhp and a smile when they flip you off as you pass.

That would be all of my kids. Not sure if they know how to use a shower curtain.

I think people do that subconsciously. Same as the folks who come up behind you and the left and then settle down next to you. People tend to match speed with the car next to them. Even when the car next to them is a double semi. I think it's some kind of hindbrain thing. Some of us misanthropes lack that--we want to be as far away froom other cars as possible.

Lately it’s been boomer skiers. Can’t stand to have someone pass them when they’re TGRing( tail gunning relentlessly)down the hill. Fucking heel pushers. They’re the ones that are invariably tailgating on the way up to the hill as well, gotta get first tracks on the groomers. Hearing them brag about how they got fresh cords like it’s a major accomplishment

A couple pics below. Cabinet is small, there is clearly no evidence of water inside the cabinet, nor any on the floor from the toilet. As far as I can tell the tile on the floor and the bottom of the wall extend all the way behind the cabinet to the corner. The cabinet seems to be a single unit bolted to the wall on one side, and of course sealed to the wall with caulking to make sure the paint is damaged if I remove it. The water I found was basically covering the one tile on the right between the cabinet and the rag and appeared to have come from underneath the cabinet.

Long shot, but it might be your toilet.

I had a similar issue; occasional wet floor. It turned out the overflow tube in my toilet was an inch taller than the hole for the flush handle, and the filler valve was failing, so it would sometimes overfill and drip through the handle’s cutout, running down the side, then out to my not-so-level floor. Took me awhile to figure it out.

The filler valves are a common point of failure. Easy 15 minute fix that costs $20, too.

Somebody is peeing on the floor?

That was my first thought.

But this is the shit that annoys you thread.

Piss that annoys you is down the hall.

Does somebody include fur kids?

That cabinet will be easy to pull, but you’re not going to do it without needing to touch up the paint. Take your time with a good light and find all the screws. Cut that calk with a razor then when you have the cabinet pulled back run a flat razor knife behind the calk.

Agree with the other posts, might be a PITA but it beats extensive water damage. Don’t put it off.

Thanks all.

FWIW no pee on the floor and evdog is not riding a buffalo (yet) - https://www.tetongravity.com/forums/...ewer-pipe-a-TR

Good point. I’m connecting in ATL so I was blissfully ignorant as we flew in.

An escalator can never break: it can only become stairs.

You should never see an Escalator Temporarily Out Of Order sign, just Escalator Temporarily Stairs.

Sorry for the convenience.

The impending end of ski season annoys the ever loving SHIT out of me.

Next season I’m going to do it better. More days. More travel. Better conditioning. Might even go ski Bushwacka’s chute of doom.

Hair that has been shed by someone in my family whether its my dog or wife. Im generally used to it by now, but its real annoying when my dogs hair gets into my computer mouse, or a hair from my wife gets left behind in my sons diaper and i have a shitcovered long string of hair flopping around.

Popups when I scroll up to close a tab. I'm running two blockers and have shit pretty locked down and it still happens. Annoying.

Popups that show up at my door on Monday afternoon and ask if I remember them.

Just close the door. It's like closing a browser window.

I figured after 19 years here, why not write it right in so there is no confusion?

Having Rontal flashbacks.

“jump” on the ski area radio while I was eating lunch

Oops, wifey found a one-hitter and a lighter I haven't seen in two years. She is pissed. "Only users lose drugs!"

Agreed. They ruin everything. Eddy’s guitar legacy is totally worthy, but everything else can go in the dumpster.

Cracked the oil pan on the rental car in Chilean Patagonia this morning. A fairly benign dirt road too. Now just sitting and waiting for the rental company to figure out a resolution. We are three hours from anywhere. At least we have cell phone service.

Now is when you wish you had all of the GOTOS condiments. And damn, I hope they get this resolved for you right quick.
