NO, crazy old guy, I'm NOT going to inspect your toilet!

So... my grandmother, who's 91, unfortunately refractured the top of her tibia about a week ago and had to go from her assisted living to a rehab center for a month until she can put weight on it and use a walker again.

My father and I decided to go up and visit her in the rehab clinic yesterday... the place is full of the elderly, except for a giant beast of a woman in the bed next to my grandmother who's been there since November with circulation "problems" to her feet because of her advanced diabetes....

Anywho... we wheel her out of her room and to the end of the hall to visit with her, where it's quiet and there's some good light and a nice view.

Twenty minutes into our visit, this old guy wheels himself out of his room and down to us... sidles up along me, and tells my father and me to go inspect his toilet, because some jerk from down the hall keeps coming and using his bathroom and his toilet "is just disgusting."

He goes on and on, tells us that if he catches whoever's doing it, he's going to take him "by the goddamned throat, and stick his head in the toilet."

My dad, grandmother and me just barely contained our laughter. The ornery old man eventually wheeled himself away. I can't say as though I blame him, I wouldn't want some drifter swinging by just to leave a massive deuce in my clean throne.

Just thought it was pretty funny. Btw... you're not in a rehab clinic by any chance, are you Jerry? :D

My chocolate lab is a certified therapy dog and for a while I was taking her to retirement communities and rehab centers. She'd just lay on people's beds and they'd pet her; it made them feel better. But me, no- I got the stories. About how their colostomy bag was chafing them or tales in Polish (and I don't speak Polish) that I liked to pretend were about cartoons. There was also one woman who'd give me the stink eye and shout, "It's not funny!!!" every time I coughed during her recap of what happened on Days of Our Lives during the summer of '86. There are some interesting cases out there :(

I hope Marc and I are in the same retirement home so I can hit him with my cane as he rolls by in his hover round :lol:

You should have told him that you'd go inspect his toilet and then dropped of a load in there yourself... ;)

I'm laughing but I understand. I used to volunteer at a nursing home when I was in high school. That lasted all of ... oh, 3 trips. The highlights were my friend and I chatting with a blind woman and when she asked about the weather, I couldn't remember and agreed it was sunny (my friend reminded me later that it was quite cloudy... to which I replied "she won't know the difference")... let's see, reading stories to the elderly and one guy covered his eyes and asked me to stop because I was scaring him... Not as funny as your trip.

If I ever need to go to a nursing home, just shoot me instead. Please.

How do you know it wasn't the old guy who did it? Maybe he was proud of his accomplishment and wanted to share it with someone? I couldn't think of a better person to share something like that with than Marc.

Probably was the old guy, he just doesn't have the short term memory required to realize he forgot to flush again...
