Yesterday, while at work, I had to use the restroom. So I went in, did my business, tried to flush, but nothing happened.

So I pushed the handle again.
Nothing.
So I open the tank.
Empty.

Of course, I'm in the bathroom, silently freaking out... as it turns out: the pipes were frozen and the lady I work with got the last flush of the day.
WHY COULDN'T I GET THE LAST FLUSH?! why?!

I had to fill up a bucket of water to pour into the toilet tank just so I could flush.
how embarrassing!

NOW, today...

I really need to go, but if I do I'll have to fill up the bucket (again) so the tank will be full for the next person.


um, no, thanks.
I'll hold it.
