Might it be …
A nagging spouse? An ancient saying states that a nagging spouse is like a dripping tap … drip … drip … drip …nag… nag …nag.. You cannot turn it off. If you try, it gets worse and turns into bigger drips, bigger nags and there’s simply no way to escape! Wouldn’t it be great if it could be as basic as only changing the washer. In this case a plumbing service definitely will not but some counselling might do the trick!
Could it be …
Your partner snoring? Picture this scene. You’re tossing and turning about in your bed at night desperately trying to sleep and pretty much all you hear is this drip … drip … drip! So you gaze over at your lover and there, right next to you, they lie, sound asleep, possibly even blissfully snoring without any worry in the world. I am not sure which is better to be kept wide awake by a snoring partner or a dripping tap. At least you can elbow your ‘snoring bed fellow to stop the cacophony. But the dripping tap? It’s a waste of time trying to phone a plumber in the middle of the night. He will probably yell at you to go get a sleeping pill and slam the telephone down. I’m happy for his wife, at least she is not being stopped from falling asleep because of a dripping tap. On the other hand, he might nag like a dripping tap!
Imagine this …
You are sound asleep dreaming peacefully and suddenly you wake up, sit bolt upright and, startled. You listen … and there’s not a single little sound to be heard. They say silence is golden nonetheless this particular time you were awoken by this strange silence. You peer at your partner slumbering without a care in the world and with no snoring whatsoever. Of course, you remember you bought him/her (don’t want to be sexually prejudiced here) an anti-snoring pillow. And the dripping noise has disappeared, I’d forgotten the tap washers had been replaced with new ones.
Imagine this …
Forget about dripping taps ever, and I mean ever, again! How’s that feasible you could question. There is a simple response to this query. Upgrade your taps with higher quality taps that are so very well manufactured that they’ll never leak, splutter, splash or even drip, again.
Imagine this …
You’re on the internet, or in the retail store buying brand new taps. What do you have to look out for?
Ceramic/alloy cartridge washers They are specifically produced to prevent dripping. They’re covered with teflon making for a really smooth handling. Levers rather than handles also make it so much easier. Arthritic fingers and hands can really no longer be an excuse for leaving a tap to continue dripping. Those days are gone of changing those old-fashioned rubber washers.
The finish Who really likes to spend ages polishing taps to make sure they’re looking like new. I’m sure you’ll agree. Well, some manufacturers have developed some new technology which make stunning sparkly sufaces that can look just like a mirror. The great news is that these finishes repel grime and are also scratch as well as corrosion resilient. Forget about polishing, while the taps keep on looking like new for a very long time.
Problem Solved …
Your partner has an anti-snore pillow and also the taps don’t drip. Sleep tight!
