Sounds like it was time for the guests to leave!

The relatives all came to eat
And were happy 'til a certain seat
Was not there due to lack of planning
Which led to panic and face fanning.

Two guys in overconfidence
When "pull the toilet" did commence
Left gran and grandpa full of "you know"
With no place for them to go-go.

Put the throne back! all did cry
And more than once guys did comply
Who does such things? an auntie sniffed
And stomped out of the house quite miffed.

She told the story – it's outrageous!
Differing opinions here do gauge us
This tale has traveled wide and far
So next time bring a bag or jar.

But there's a moral to the story
Save repairs until tomorr-y.
If you're a niece do not serve din-din
Then pull the plumbing – it's a sin-sin.

The girl bought a house. She invited family over. I'm not getting the impression that this was some sort of formal dinner party. Two of those guests tried to help her out by installing a toilet. I'm sure she was low on cash after the purchase, and really appreciated the help. Maybe this was the only time they were available.


I'm not sure why people keep on trying to marginalize these guys as chest beating, grunting man apes trying to show their alpha status by installing a toilet. Good grief. They were doing her a favor.


Could they have communicated the plans better? Yes. But I don't think there was a horrible diabolic plan in place here....
I agree. You would expect a family member to be more understanding.

After all, Chit happens.

I couldn't resist

I think expecting to stay until 8pm is a little tacky.


Really why didn't anyone speak up? No one had a brain there? Maybe there was too much drinking How many people were there? How come no one heard about this "project" that was about to commence and no one said anything? Sounds like people who don't communicate or are oblivious to their surroundings. If the house only had one toilet it was most likely not a huge house.

No one heard the men in the bathroom? Really? If it was my family I would have gone in the bathroom and told the men they were being dopes and should wait until people were gone or at least tell the guests.

It seems to me everyone at that house was to blame for the predicament.

Yeah, I was expecting satanic rituals, animal sacrifices, literal blood baths, or at the very least a murder mystery that no one knew about in advance.


But a toilet being changed? Seems like an overly dramatic family if that is considered an after dinner horror.

That side of the family thought nothing of inconveniencing their guests by shutting down the toilet for hours. The replacement job didn’t go as quickly as planned. The old toilet had to be temporarily reset in place several times for the elderly guests to empty bladders and bowels.

None of us were told in advance that the toilet would not be operable during our visit. Had I be made aware of that fact, I would have declined the invitation.

Who does that? Is this not odd behavior?
Am I wrong to be disgusted by what happened?
Would you do this to your guests and think nothing of their discomfort?

It doesn't take long to replace a toilet. They either messed up or something was wrong.


And why didn't everyone leave after learning the toilet isn't there, why did they temporarily reset so people pee AND POO and stink up the bathroom. I find that behavior way more odd.
