Oy!

No, just used to running water...

We had a plumbing disaster here late one night. I got home from work to
dad having had to shut the water off.

It was 23:00.

I started calling plumbers.

The one guy that finally answered asked if it could wait 'till morning.
I told him (politely) that I was reluctant to do without water due to my
work schedule and planned to continue making calls as I was willing to
pay the emergency fee, and the first person willing to make a midnight
call would get the job.

He came out. ;-)
