I've done that more than once in my life. It's amazing how simple toilet plumbing and hardware actually is once you get down to brass tacks. Heck, the bowl/seat itself is basically just stuck to the floor with a couple bolts and a giant wax ring.
Clearly Steven Harper's fault.
My SIM card is fucked.
My phone will suddenly say "No SIM card" or "SIM card not recognized." I have to turn the phone off for half an hour to an hour and usually then it works, as long as all I do is call or text. Once I start using an app (any app, from Twitter to YouTube) for more than a minute, the SIM card fails. I've determined it is the card itself, not the phone, because if I pop someone else's card in, there are no problems for hours and hours. I could watch YouTube all day.
It's extremely frustrating, especially when I need to call to set up appointments and suddenly my phone's useless for hours.

It's probably because of all the sex
Grooveshark shut down today. I get why, they fucked up with rights and royalties and such, but man that's like 4 years of playlists dead and gone.
I used it a lot less over the last few months thanks to Spotify, but GS had a ridiculous selection of foreign music, video game music, live stuff, etc that Spotify just doesn't.
your ballcock or your flush valve?[DOUBLEPOST=1430483102,1430482931][/DOUBLEPOST]
I sell Plumbing products at the moment to consumers (HIHO PROMOTIONS :3) You lot are fricking clueless and the fact that our streets are not overflowing with liquid shit amazes me every day!
Wait, so you're saying toilet plumbing isn't dead simple?
You've got your hole in the floor, with a flange, two bolts and a wax ring.
You've got the bowl itself, where you sit, which is a single piece of molded porcelain and has no moving parts.
You've got the tank, which is the most complicated part, but as Fade said, the ballcock, overflow tube, lift wire, and float ball can be bought as a single unit, and basically just screws into place. It's a 5 minute fix.
yes, the system itself is dead simple. the user is the problem.
examples of issues I run into on a weekly basis with clients:
problem 1:Bottom edges leak every time the toilet is flushed/ Symptoms: no wax ring installed/toilet was not installed flush and level to floor/new flooring was installed over the base flooring and toilet flange was not raised(this happens EVERY TIME a tile floor is installed)/BREAK OFF FLANGE BOLTS NOT INSTALLED!
Problem 2: Water leaks from every connecting part of the toilet/ symptoms: NO WASHERS OR SEALS INSTALLED WITH TOILET.
Problem 3: Toilet does not flush correctly/ symptoms: user flushed a prohibited item/USER INSTALLED GENERIC PARTS ON HIGH END TOILET THAT ONLY WORKS WITH OEM PARTS(see Kohler Champion series or American Standard/Ejier Titan for which I sell the replacements but they are $$$)

It was the ballcock. Thing wouldn't stop filling the tank, and the water flow was such it overwhelmed the refill tube. And THEN I discovered that the cutoff valve at the wall also wouldn't close. I've still got to address that, but for now, it's a problem for another day.
... shouldn't this go in the sex thread?

You know, somehow I knew that, despite the repeated use of "ballcock" by multiple other people in this thread... I KNEW Ravenpoe was going to wait until *I* said "ballcock" to chime in with exactly this sort of thing.
Well, here, I'll throw you a bone, anyway. As I said, the cutoff valve wouldn't close... so I had to change out the part with the water still flowing. You might could call what happened during that...

I work in the computer industry. Trust me...you don't have to school me on "user error"
I know I've said this before, but believe me when I say I had to deal with someone who came in complaining that his computer was dead. Turned out the battery was dead, just needed to charge it up. When I informed him of this, he exclaimed, "I just bought that battery a week ago! How can it be dead already?"I work in the computer industry. Trust me...you don't have to school me on "user error"

I've been having some major dizziness issues lately. Tonight I fall asleep shortly after dinner, dream about riding The Zipper and wake up pukier than before.
It's possible, I'll ask at my follow up this week. I had an assessment last week and was curious as to why I need a hearing test this week. Her other theory is that I may have some lasting effects from a concussion a few years ago.
I also have low blood pressure that drops when I stand and a vitamin deficiency I'm getting injections for. These have all been identified since the dizziness started and I am hoping that something gets resolved soon.
Hope it's not Meniere's. My mom has that and it's not fun. Hope the prognosis is a good one!
I am developing an attitude towards my health care provider.
They have this annoying habit of automatically setting up appointments for me to see docs &/or specialists, usually at times that do NOT fit my schedule. And then, they call me - just as I'm about to fall asleep- to tell me about this appointment.

GRAH- stores need to update their damned contact information/be honest! Went to get my old phone's sim-card read so I could get my contacts, FIRST PLACE- not a T-mobile store any more, SECOND PLACE- Wal-mart, and not actually a T-mobile shop but a place that sells T-mobile phones- BUT- labeled itself as a T-mobile store on the particular web-site I went on. I am perturbed.
Were they shaped like Thor? If so, you had to know that would happen.
