Landlord recently replaced all the plumbing fixtures—faucets, shower head, toilet—with the low-flow type. I’m all for conservation, and even though I can now piss harder than my shower sprays and sometimes have to flush the toilet six times after a night of donairs and hot wings, I’m happy to do my part. But why the kitchen sink? Why the bathtub?? It takes the same amount of water to fill the sink whether it fills in one minute or five. What is the use of me standing there getting carpal tunnel syndrome holding a pot under the faucet until there is finally enough water in it to cook my spaghetti? How is the environment served by me turning on the water and going off to have a wank while I wait 20 minutes for the tub to fill? I tell you, this conservation business has gone too far. —Mildly annoyed

Ah yes the Greenie betterment for the world. Having to flush a toilet two or three and even four times. Waiting 20 minutes for a tub to fill or taking a shower one drip at a time. Ah all so enjoyable.
Put the pot in the sink (please ensure sink is sanitized) and run the water into the pot until you have the desired amount. No carpal tunnel to be had here.
as far as i can see, flushing 6 times instead of once, is not very saving, is it. those low flow things are garbage, and should be used as planters.
Take the faucets apart and remove the low-flow mechanism (usually a round dusk, sometimes perforated).
What kinda welfare low-flow bullshit do you wankers have in your houses. My low-flow showerhead is awesome!!!!
I hate it when there’s not enough water pressure to rinse the soap out of my ass hair 🙁
Eww I know right! I hate low flow shower heads, they aren’t very orgasmic.
