When a bit of plumbing thats been undisturbed for years springs a leak and now your family is living without hot water.

No damage, but...
Man we use a lot of hot water!

I feel your pain. A couple months back a tree decided to root ball my sewer line.

Instead of no hot water. It was no water or else things get stinky in a hurry.

When you can't get to the unlock screen by clicking the mouse or hitting enter no matter what you do.
But it magically only works if you click the bullshit center of the screen so that it can assault you with launching Microsoft Edge to tell you more about that fascinating picture you didn't actually give a shit about.

Put a new irrigation controller in, and when going through and programming the zones, found out that the previous owners of my house built our fucking enclosed deck over two sprinkler heads. And they didn't even adjust them to closed or anythihng, just waters the dirt under my deck. Perfect, because I was looking for a weekend job crawling around in the dirt.

Make sure you adjust the pressure if you take those 2 offline. Unless they are the only 2 on the zone.

I'll be opening up the deck and digging a new trench to move them to the right spot.

Forgetting that BBQ season entails closing the patio door after cooking. Woke up to the furnace blasting and what might as well have been an open invite to rob us. At least the screen door was closed.

Only leave it a quarter way open and put a pineapple on the stoop, amirite?

Mrs.PiM is a human female and therefore she is convinced our cheesy paper shredder is like this when she shoves a God Damned textbook into it:



No Fuchs given.

I have a theory that women think all solid objects have infinite structural integrity.

Toilet paper dispensers.

Butter knives.

Basically anything acting as a simple lever

What that says about female engineers… oh deer

Mrs. Vengie's lack of awareness.
I washed my hands in the sink and noted the water pressure was lower than it should be.
Mrs. Vengie said "yeah I noticed that earlier today"!

To which I respond, "well there is probably a reason, and it's not good.
Sure as shit, found a leak, fixed and could have been much worse..
But like, if something isn't normal, there is typically a reason! Gah.

I had a very similar conversation with my wife a week ago. I drove her car for first time since swapping over from her winters like three weeks ago and between 100-120 it shook like a mother fucker. I ask her what the fuck is happening and how long as it done this? She said since I swapped the tires and just thought that was normal or maybe her summer wheels did that and didn't think much of it. I asked her in what world a vehicle shaking is normal and why didn't she say anything, any funny noises or shakes are not normal and probably mean something is wrong.

Did a clean of the rims then took them to get rebalanced and suddenly everything is smooth again.

Then in the house when the ice cubes auto drop from the fridge or some small normal noises occur, she will be like "WHAT WAS THAT???"

Learned twenty years ago to tell her our reservation (or start time of whatever we're going to) is a half hour earlier than it actually is.

They're all the same, some normal noise that happens often, but they hear it once and get confused lol

Honestly, it's not even that it ever really makes us late.. just seems like a waste of time to me, i'm the type of guy who's usually always flat out and trying to be efficient with my time(most of the time) and shes a slow poke overall haha..
