Get on with it

Today, my mom demanded that I go into the basement and fix the water heater. I told her that I had no idea how to fix it, so she threw my phone down the stairs, told me to Google it, and locked the basement door behind me. It's been two hours. FML

Halloween

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Plumbed out

Today, I tried to fix a leaking pipe under the sink. I watched a YouTube tutorial and was feeling confident that I could get the job done. Two hours later, half of the kitchen was practically flooded because I forgot to cut the water off, and scrambled to actually find the main valve, then I had to call an emergency plumber, who showed up, laughed, and fixed it in five minutes.

Some parents... how the **** are you supposed to know the problem? how in the blue hell are you supposed to fix it? She wants to turn you into an emergency plumber?.. wickedness. At least did she give you a 3D printer to print out the required tools?

Can you at least connect to wifi?

I don't think they can, I mean, they didn't use internet to post here.

if you have a data plan you don't need eifi to use the Internet for a while. i mean I am not connected to wifi

Who can't connect to wifi in their basement? Must be some crappy ass wifi.

#53 I can't. And it's not my wifi it's my basement.

Some older basements have an interference with WIFI signals (like my old house). Depends on how old the house is.

Use the Google to find a local emergency plumber and call him over. Your mom will open the door to let him in, and voila! That's your chance to bull rush the open door and escape.

Can you imagine the look on the plumbers face if a boy/girl ran to freedom out of a locked basement

You could try calling someone for help. For fixing the geater, or to escape of course

OP's username says it all

just ring a plumber and it should be fine

Mothers can be treacherous

I would Google a professional's number to come fix it instead.

got some network down there?

this sounds like the origin story of a serial killer

Sounds like you need to get googling on water heaters to me
