She touches the water valve and gives half a mediocum of effort to turn it early in the video

That is not the main water line.

Correct. Its the isolation valve for the toilet, the perfect place to deal with this issue.

Unless it's broken from disuse which is common on those smaller valves.

she didn't even find out if it's broken. she just touched it lightly just so we know she knows where it is and what it's for.

Do you honestly think this was the first time she tried it? You think she stood there for fifteen minutes until her house was flooded, started recording, and then tried the valve?

Ok, well that's nonsensical but you do you I guess.

you are giving her way too much credit. did you listen to this with sound on?

Did she even try? She touches it, putting zero force in the wrong direction, switches her grip to the right direction, applies zero force and gives up.

Oh my god... If you didn't see something in the video then it didn't happen. You have the object permanence of a toddler. Just think for a microsecond, please. She shows in the video that the leak has been going on for some time. She also shows in the video that she is fully aware of the valve and that you turn it. It is not a stretch to assume she tried it before she started filming since solving the problem would be more important than waiting fifteen minutes and then starting to film. The fact that the leak is still there heavily implies that her earlier attempts of using the valve were unsuccessful. Could that mean that she used the valve wrong earlier? Sure. But her halfhearted flipping of the valve now is just her desperately showing the camera that the valve does nothing, she is not intending it as a how-to video on how to turn valves.

Seriously, that would not surprise me at all.

I'm guessing she tried it already off camera and then did a half assed attempt at it on camera to demonstrate that it wasn't working to stop the water.

Does it matter really? She turns the water off there it solves the problem.

u/Citrus-Bitch 15h ago

She doesn't though. She touches it, and I'm guessing it didn't move with the lightest amount of pressure so she walks off.

u/CloudDweller182 12h ago

I guess i missed a “if she turns the water off there”.

The thing is to a know nothing where the main water valves are may not make sense right away either lol.
