So, I thought I was being handy the other day. My bathroom sink had developed a slow leak, and rather than calling a plumber like a responsible adult, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I watched a couple of DIY videos online and felt confident that I could handle it.
Armed with my trusty wrench and some plumber’s tape, I got to work. I managed to turn off the water supply (thankfully) and started dismantling the pipes underneath the sink. Everything was going smoothly until I noticed some old rust and corrosion. I thought it would be a great idea to clean it up a bit. Big mistake.
While I was scrubbing away, I accidentally knocked loose a pipe I hadn’t planned on touching. Suddenly, I was met with a steady stream of water gushing out, and I panicked. I scrambled to put everything back together, but in my haste, I just made things worse. Water was spraying everywhere, and I could feel the floor turning into a puddle beneath me.
Long story short, I ended up soaking the entire bathroom, my clothes, and, of course, my phone, which I had thoughtlessly left on the sink. By the time I managed to shut the water off again and clean up the mess, I was soaked, stressed, and the bathroom looked like it had been hit by a small flood.
Now, I have a wet bathroom, a broken phone, and I still need to call a plumber to fix my original problem. All I wanted was to be a DIY hero, but now I’m just a DIY disaster. Lesson learned: sometimes it’s better to leave things to the professionals.
TL;DR: Tried to fix a leaking sink myself, accidentally caused a mini flood, soaked my phone, and now I need to call a plumber anyway. DIY hero turned DIY disaster.
