I sware if I ever manage to ever own my own place, the first damned thing that I'm going to do is weld the damned flushing handle/lever to the fucking rod that it attatches to inside of the back of the toilet. Every apartment that I've ever lived in, and it's A LOT of them, I've had the same damned problem with the handle coming off of the toilet about once a week when I go to flush it. It usually happens when I'm taking that piss in the middle of the night and I'm too tired or still half asleep to deal with it. It also often happens to guests when they go to flush the toilet. Like I said, it's not just in my current place, it's happened forever, in every apartment that I've ever lived in! This never happened when I was a kid, living in a house with my parents, it still never happens at their houses, nor does it happen at friends houses or condos. But it continually happens in apartments. I've had roommates in the past that would use the toilet and then have the lever come off when attempting to flush, so they just fucking left it like it was, unflushed, until someone like myself came along with the knowledge of how to remove the lid on back of the toilet and put the lever back on and flush it. I'm so fucking sick of this problem. Does anyone else have this detachable flushing lever problem? What have you done to stop it from happening? I've pulled out tools and tightened the fuck out of it, etc. and calling the land lord never helps.
