To remove the shower attachment from my bath and strangle my entire family with it?

GGGGAAAARRRRRHHHHHHHHHH!
Again, for the 7464738 time, I've been drowned by the shower head! Full in the face from the bottom of the tub! Its attached to the tap and has a knob that is used to select tap or shower. Tap is the default position!
The bastarding bastards leave it set to shower every time. I'm sure they do it on purpose! Angry
No court I the land would convict me, surely!

Are you sure tap is the default position? Sounds like in your house, shower is, and you need to catch on...Grin

SaggyAndLucy · 16/07/2014 22:19

Look!
I bought the fitting, I fitted it, I clean it and I'm the mother!
If I say Tap is the default, tap is the flipping default! OK?! Wink

I don't think it would work to strangle them all at once, so you'd have to do it one at a time, which would give some of em time to run away.

It's just not really workable, I'm afraid.

Depends sanity. You could do 3 at once with a Staffordshire knot. Grin

In which case, judicious application of superglue would probably be a less illegal solution, unless you are likely to want a shower at any point ever in the future. Could you attach a sign to the back of the bathroom door that says 'Stop - have you switched the knob back to bath?!' - it will remind your family and give something for guests to wonder at...

SanityClause · 16/07/2014 22:26

Hmm, could you, Owl?

How many in your family, Saggy?

Toooldtobearsed · 16/07/2014 22:26

YABVVU
What a waste of a perfectly good shower.
Throttle them all with a hose pipe then enjoy your bath/ shower in peace.

After that many time you should have some awareness that this will happen.

I wouldn't strangle them funerals are expensive.

ours doesn't go back to 'tap' when trying to save water and using little water pressure.
only when dh showers on full blast and flooding the whole room does this hapen

Grin that thread title really made me laugh

SaggyAndLucy · 16/07/2014 23:04

I could strangle them individually in their sleep. there's DP and 2 teens. I could stash them all down the skeptic tank. No need for a funeral!
What really pisses me off bothers me, is that because our boiler doesn't like the build up of pressure they aren't meant to use the shower anyway! DP will be first to complain when it goes wrong.
I HAVE to kill them, don't I?!

My bath/shower automatically reverts back to bath. I hate baths!!

Wanna swap!?

SaggyAndLucy · 16/07/2014 23:22

Can I keep the bath and swap families?

The skeptic tank?

SaggyAndLucy · 17/07/2014 08:49

yup. The skeptic tank! Grin Grin

I think killing is perhaps too harsh for now. Could you waterboard them with said attachment and give them the opportunity to really think about what they've done?
