Today, my water pipes froze and burst and I now have to take snow from my back yard and boil it down into water in order to flush my toilet. FML

Hey, I'm the OP. My pipes burst at about 2:00 AM so I couldn't take water from neighbours or call a friend. We figured out they froze at like five PM and we were all trying to unfreeze them. At that point it was just the hot water that didn't work. It actually happened to us once already, and we fixed it so we didn't think it was a big deal until they burst. We called the plumber the next day and we had water by the time I woke up. It was just my little sister and I who were melting the snow, because we were the only ones who had to pee. We made a really big mess and my sister kept flushing the toilet before we actually had enough water, making us have to start all over again. It was a horrible experience and my older brother refused to help. But now, it's just a really funny story to tell.

It could be worse, you could have to boil down yellow snow to take a shower.

For the sake of one pee, I would've just peed in to something and tipped it outside somewhere (in to soil, grass or something down the back of the garden). But then I've been on plenty of far from luxury hikes and camping trips.. It's not pleasant but needs must! Glad you got it all sorted.

Same thing happened to us... Well of course except for the snow part. Consider yourself lucky cause our pipes burst in our kitchen and we had to get the wood floor in their redone...

Canada is a beautiful country and there's plenty to do, you're clearly just a boring person.

Yeah, Canada sucks! What with its culture, universal health care, gay rights, women's rights, multiculturalism, beautiful wilderness and all! Oh wait, Canada's ******* great.
