Water an irritating situation you must be swimming in.

Who doesn't want the washer replaced? If it's maintenance then of course they don't. More money for them. If it's your boss, have a chat with them about losing money over constantly tightening it as opposed to buying a new model.

3rd time's a char..oh wait. Maybe 6th time?

Just YouTube on how to fix it, sinks are pretty easy to fix, parts are cheap also. unless you gotta go through the landlord first?

At that point, I think it might be worth it to do-it-yourself. I know it's not your sink and they may be the ones responsible for fixing it, but if it's a simple washer, maybe spending a Saturday morning doing that would be worth the peace of mind.

You must be cute

I'll bet you're not familiar with the phrase "Don't paint yourself out of a job." Maintaining is better than repairing (for the maintainer, that is.)

unfortunately, that's pretty common OP... your shit basically has to be disintegrated to be replaced

If you understand the problem so well, why don't you fix it yourself?

Hey, OP here! First published post! I hadn't actually told them that I think it's the washer yet, next time I complain, I'm going to let them know. If they still don't fix it properly, I'm going to tell them I'll to do it myself. I've done some simple plumbing fixes like that before, so I don't think it'll be too hard or long a process. The main problem with fixing it myself is I'm in college and it's essentially an off campus dorm room (owned by the school, which kind of helps explain the quick fix mentality), and I don't have any tools here.
