What’s That Funny Noise in the Toilet?
I turned off my televisions for a week and discovered all kinds of things.
Every time the thermostat in the bedroom makes a clicking sound, the central air either comes on or shuts off. This probably means another $500 repair bill, but it’s good to catch these things early.
An endless stream of cars, literally 24 hours a day, comes and goes at the condo across the street. They drive up, someone goes in for five minutes or so, then comes out and drives away. What the Hell is going on there, do you suppose?
The wall between me and the unit next door is a lot thinner than I realized. The woman over there has an orgasm, on average (I kept track by making tick marks on the grocery list), every three hours, 24 hours a day, day after day. No, I don’t know if they’re real or fake.
I had no idea that the valve inside the toilet tank was leaking. I guess it’s leaking. You can hear water endlessly running inside there if you put your ear up to it. Maybe that’s why the water and sewer bill has been so high. Probably a $500 plumber visit in the cards.
I could hear a lot, I mean, a lot of gun shots. I always thought they came from crime programs, but the with the TV off, it sounds like maybe they are real shots and not that far away.
I was surprised to be able to hear this threshing noise in my head, up high on the left side, a swish, swish, swish sound. With the televisions on, I never noticed it. By the time the no TV week was coming to an end, that swishing noise was really beginning to bug me. It was great when I could turn all the televisions back on and get some peace.
