the one with the sweaty butts


ok. funny short story about our house. it might be a little tmi, but i'm still gonna share it! a little while ago we discovered that there is a hot water line running into our upstairs toilet. how do we know this you might ask? so glad you asked!

if you use the toilet directly after someone has flushed it, you might get up with a case of "sweaty butt." you sit down with a (hopefully) dry butt, but when you are done...it's a little moist! see, when the new water fills the tank, it fills with hot water! so hot in fact, that you can actually see it steaming from the toilet. the other day when i was cleaning it, i poured the cleaner in and the steam started gushing out!

we aren't quite sure how to deal with this. i was told that it would be quite the elaborate process to fix it. tearing up tiles and all that, coupled with the fact that our landlord isn't the greatest at getting things in our house fixed. so in all reality, we are probably just going to have to learn to live with sweaty butts. its not so bad though. i mean in the winter it might be a nice place to warm up!
