Philoktetes 11/14/18 12:45:06 PM #1:	Turn off the water input valve. Unless you're deeply unfortunate in this regard, almost all toilets have a small metal knob under the tank, just near the input point. This allows you to turn off the water flowing into the tank. Cut the water. Flush the toilet. The bowl will be completely empty. And the tank will be 90% empty, easy to sop up the rest with a couple towels. --- I don't think so, Tim. ~~ Pizza Crew ~~ <cite>Philoktetes posted [p:912393525] in lifehack: ...

Clogged their toilet in the morning, and I guess the flap didn't close completely after a flush. The water wouldn't stop running, and the bowl was filling quickly. I learned the hard way that their knob didn't work as I would have expected. No matter how much I turned it, nothing would happen. The clean up was not fun. --- Posted with GameRaven 3.5.1 <cite>TheRealDill1999 posted [p:912393962] in lifehack: ...
