leaky toilet....expensive.

so a few days ago i got my water bill.. it was 107 lira, which is over 4 times what it normally is.. (around 20-25 lira) so, needless to say, i was very confused and determined to solve this mystery... well, i have been busy and keep putting off figuring it out.. well today i talked to my boss about it and we finally figured out it's a running toilet in my apartment....that's apparently been running for oh, SIX weeks! what?!

you may ask how i don't notice a running toilet over the course of SIX weeks, but in my defense, we have 2 bathrooms right next to each other.. one is a normal one with a shower, storage, a washing machine, etc... and the other one is basically a closet. it has enough room for a toilet and a sink...barely... so i only ever use the big one.. maybe twice a month if necessary, i'll use the closet one..

to make sure the toilet had, in fact, been running this whole time, i called my new roomie since she uses it a lot.... and i found out, oh ya, it HAS been running every time she has gone in there... what?!

and to make it worse, the numbers on the water meter are already as high as last month's reading and we still have 13 or 14 days left before it's read... ughhh...

well, i did turn off the water to that toilet with strict instructions NOT to use it anymore.. and someone should be here to look at it on saturday... i just wish i had known earlier.. oh well!
