TIFU by trusting my toilet one more time

S

This didn't happen years ago. It happened today, although the setup has been happening for years.

Ever since I can remember, my house has had a strange problem. We only have one toilet, and for some reason the water supply always seems to disappear at the worst possible moment. You'd think after living here my whole life I would have learned my lesson.

Today I went to the toilet without checking whether there was enough water available first. Everything seemed normal, so I sat down and started my business. Halfway through, I realized there was no water. Again.

At this point I wasn't even surprised. I just sat there thinking, "How has this happened to me so many times, and why do I still trust this toilet?"

The worst part is that this isn't a rare event. It's happened so often that I honestly feel like my toilet has a personal vendetta against me. Somehow it always chooses the exact moment I'm in the middle of using it.

Eventually I had to wait and figure out a solution, all while questioning my life choices and my continued faith in this toilet.

TL;DR: I trusted my toilet without checking the water supply first, got stuck halfway through my business with no water available, and learned the same lesson for the hundredth time.
