Twice in three days I experienced the effect of gravity.
Here I am trying to repair a toilet that other people have tried to fix. The flush mechanism has been altered and one part that sits under the flush button is not located properly. As I try to insert it correctly it slips and falls straight down. :( Straight down the flush pipe out of sight. :((Would have been better if it could have landed in the loo but it couldn't. I could have taken the cistern off, but I may not have been able to reattach to wall. I spend the next fifteen minutes trying to get it out with bits of wire. At last I have success and in the end the toilet and cistern is back in operation. :U
Two days latter I am installing a cabinet on a wall. To make things easier I take out the pins from the hinges to take the door off. When it is time to refit the door I am having trouble refitting the bottom pin. The top pin I fit but fail to secure and sure enough while working on the bottom pin, gravity works on the top pin and it falls out hitting my fingers directly below. Ouch! :o
At least I have not fallen off a ladder (but did fall over at work a week earlier).
