Waking up in the morning, with the thought of going to the bathroom to wash and brush my teeth, I was disappointed in the bathroom. No water came out of the tap when I opened it. Turned off, I thought. I told my wife about this, she was also upset, she had plans to do a large-scale laundry and cleaning in the apartment.
Well, the water remained in the kettle from the evening. We washed ourselves somehow, brushed our teeth and decided to go to the mall for shopping, and for one and have breakfast.
I called the dispatcher, they said that they would give water during the day, they could not say the exact time.
We arrived at the shopping center, immediately went to the 4th floor for breakfast. Although my wife and I decided to give up fast food, today is an exceptional case. I personally took a crumb-potato with fillings, and my wife decided to eat pizza with coffee.
Then we ran through the shopping center, my wife bought some little things she needed only, and then went to Auchan to buy groceries. As usual, a full cart, packed for a week. We walked around the shopping center for 5-6 hours. We arrived at the house. At the entrance we met a neighbor from the 7th floor. I asked her if they had given water?
She looked at me in amazement and asked:
- What? Was it turned off? I didn't even notice!
- Since the morning there is no water - I say!
- I didn’t notice. In general, after installing the meters, I try to save water. The pension is small, and I don't want to pay half of my pension for the rent. So I save water.
Of course, I wondered how this was, the time was approaching towards evening, and she had not yet opened the water. He was not ashamed, asked her about it!
- You see, son, the economy must be economical. I drank a cup of tea in the morning, went to bed some more, woke up and went to the toilet, didn't wash it off, in the evening I'll wash it off once.
Then I went for a walk along the river, the weather is good, it is not cold outside at all. And I wash my face once a day, in the evening, before going to bed. And I wash the dishes with a thin stream of water, and I do not pour water into the bath, only under the shower. So I have 1 cubic meter per month. hot water, and 2 cubes of cold water. Not a bad economy. And with the money saved, I will buy gifts for my granddaughters, they are very nice! - she said.
I even felt uncomfortable, all the most, probably, secret she told me with his wife.
We got up when home, the water from the tap ran. So everything is fine, we will sort out the bags, my wife will go to wash, and I’m harmless for our dinner, I’ll cook for a couple. Fortunately, there is water, and 4 Ashanov's bags were full of food.
But the whole evening was somehow uncomfortable. Sorry for the neighbor from the 7th floor. Well, you have to save so much that the toilet is not flushed every time!
I wonder how you save water? And do you save it at all?
