Plumbing is very, very evil...

Ok, if you're wondering where in hell that message came from, let me explain:
I had just finished my homework and had just started the comp up, when I heard water running.
I knew it was the toilet, because it's valve is getting old and blah blah blah. So I go into the bathroom,
and close the valve to the toilet. For some reason this valve didn't want to close. So the toilet keeps running. By this time the water is flowing out onto the floor pretty steadily.
So I open up the back of the accuresed porcelain demon, and look valve control thingy. I pull it up, it stops the water, but I then let go to see if it will hold there (which it usually does). Of
course it doesn't. I'm getting frantic right now, I throw an ENTIRE roll of paper towel onto the floor (unraveled), it becomes thoroughly soaked. The water continues.
So I pick up the phone (thank God for wireless phones!), and proceed to call my mother. By now the floor of the small bathroom is flooded, and the water is spilling out into the adjacent family room. I sit on the toilet, dial my mother, and hold the
valve controller thingy up to stop the water. My mom freaks out, calls my neighbor (who happens to be a plumber). He comes over, stops the water somehow, and proceeds in helping me clean up the mess. After about 15 mins. we are both thoroughly soaked.
Finally it is all cleaned up, my neighbor leaves, and I take a 1 hour long shower. And now I'm typing this. Let me tell you people, plumbing is evil, very evil, it is just plain mean.
