Angels4 Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 (edited) A married couple kept getting huge water bills. They knew beyond a doubt that the bills weren't representative of their actual usage, and no matter how they tried to conserve, the high bills continued. Although they could see nothing wrong, they had everything checked for leaks or problems: the water meter, outdoor pipes, indoor pipes, underground pipes, faucets, toilets, washer, ice maker, etc., all to no avail. One day the wife was sick and stayed home in bed, but kept hearing water running downstairs. She finally got out of her sick bed to investigate, and stumbled onto the cause of the problem. Apparently this was happening all day long when they were not at home. Knowing that few would believe her, she recorded a video of the 'problem': http://www.dnaco.net/~vogelke/pictures/water-leak/water-leak.wmv or here.

Joojoo Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Crikey That's brilliant. I'm relieved that my six don't do that!!
