Broken Toilet

The toilet at my apartment stopped working. It doesn’t flush. Instead, a slow yet steady stream of water flows through the toilet. But the force of the water is not really strong enough to make anything go down. So, as a result, we have instituted a bucket-flushing system. We take a bucket full of water, and pour it in the toilet with force and vigor, in hopes of shoving the contents of the toilet down the pipes. I suppose this is better than simply willing it and using my jedi mind tricks on the toilet. But as it goes, this bucket system is not the most effective method. And now the apartment smells of, well, exactly what you can imagine it smelling like. An apartment who has a toilet that doesn’t work, yet people keep using it… There really is no use complaining however, because this is Russia, and it was too good for me to live in a place where everything worked. Something had to go eventually. And let me just say that this is better than the heating not working. So, with that idea, I am pleased with this outcome.
