Srsly.

Turns out when I went to Destin Florida for a week, doing all the stuff you do at a beach. Eating, sleeping, surfing, blah blah blah. My neighbors had there lawn airated or what ever you call it when you drill small holes into the ground and it "helps" or sh*t. Then they open the box with irrigation in it and hit a pipe and cracked it the smart@$$es did sh*t. And they also broke our neighbor's aswell. I WAS PISSED. So me and my dad had to dig a hole and cut the frickin' pipe and plug it. Now I can't sh*t in my own bathroom. Or take a shower, wash the dishes, wash clothes. It's a good thing the public pool is next to us so I can get water, and take a- well you get the point. It's like living in the 1800's with an out house far away from your house so you won't smell it, and a well next to it.

So just ask yourself.

What would it be like to have no water for 2 or 3 days?


The pipe was fixed yesterday. I guess I am lucky it only took a day.

I don't know, you tell me. You're the one with no water, pal.

A pipe broke in front of my home which caused my whole neighborhood to have no running water 2 months ago. Thankfully it was for only a day but more than that sucks.

Anyway, buy A LOT of water bottles. That's how my family and neighbors managed to get through the day.

The longest I've gone without water was 5 hours but I have gone 3 weeks without electricity before.

Also, you're not getting any reparations from their wrong doing?
Nope.

It's 9:04 here and most irrigation companies are closed on Saturday, so, 2 days maybe three. Well, we already have a lot >_> left over from Destin.

Apparently no one here has ever gone camping.

You only get really bad odors and stuff after about three days, it isn't that bad. Plus you can just wear a hat or whatever if you are bothered by greasy hair, and all you really need to do to take a shower is use wet wipes/baby wipes or whatever. For a toilet, use a tree, bushes, toilet paper, and even a pit toilet if you really need it.

They must've not had port-o-pottys where you camped.

Do you guys have any relatives living nearby?
Some what, but my Step Grandma is racist and babbles on about how terrible her life is.

Yep.

Already doing it. But my hair gets really greasy really fast.

This ^. For most people.
I've been through 4 days without water and must say I thought I was gonna die... Then again, I only thought that at the moment my mom told me "You won't be able to shower for 4 days!" :laugh:
I managed to bathe none the less. Just boil water. Plus I had juice and water bottles if I was thirsty.


My mom didn't do **** to help me out, her boyfriend either... As they can shower after work.

Sounds like it time to head down to Costco and blow all of your cash on bottled water.

Hmm... filling a bath tub with bottled water so you can take a bath doesn't sound like fun. If you have any friends, relatives, ect. that live by you should stay at their place.

Must...resist...grammar pun...
...You have no running water? Count yourself lucky.

I'll be right back, gotta go catch my water.





Pun aside, I've never gone without running water (excluding camping) for any (significant) length of time. That can't be fun. :/.

Right here, not quite now
I haven't really been without water, but one time, a pipe broke in the basement, causing all the used water to fill up down there. Including toilet water.
