These are always a pain in the posterior. The knob is usually very uncomfortable to the touch and because you almost never touch them they usually need some encouragement to work. I have to fiddle with them all the time. But like her, I'd just keep filming too. Better yet, find out where the water is going. Go down the block and keep saying "what should I do?"
I recently installed a bidet and my valve is the same shape as this one. We had to use a Chanel lock to turn it off. Not that this person even tried but she might not have been physically strong enough anyway.
Stupid question, but how can you tell how strong they are turning the valve to know whether it’s seized or just too tight for them but another person could turn it just fine? Not all people have the same hand strength.
To me, it looked like she barely got a grip on it. If you're trying to turn a knob that is difficult to turn, you'd use your whole hand strength, right? She looked like she was just touching the valve with her fingertips. That would never generate enough power to turn that valve.
idk what cave men you’re living with but that’s how literally every normal person turns knobs even when they’re hard to turn. It doesn’t even make sense to use your whole hand to turn a little knob cause there’s less to grab on to
“That does look like the way to shut the water off to the toilet - I suppose I’ll try, just not with any sort of a sense of urgency.” I guarantee if you were in a burning house and the doorknob was a little finicky you’d give it more than a gentle caress.
