I guess that's what happens when people vote to turn reality into Reality TV.

45 years of Reagan cuts to public education and 20 years of Dubya's No Child Left Behind resulted in a population so stupid, on average, that they think reality tee vee is actually real.

It’s more SNL at this point

[u/IAMA_Plumber-AMA → u/chuk2015]

I won't argue there.

Hey my shower head keeps dripping and leaking. I've tried tightening everything I can, but it seems to be getting worse. It's one of those ones on a long flexible arm. I can get it to stop, or at least be quiet, by laying it on the ground. Any pointers on where to look first for fixing it?

[u/IAMA_Plumber-AMA → u/JackPembroke]

Is your tap a single handle control or does it have two water taps?

[u/JackPembroke → u/IAMA_Plumber-AMA]

Single, one of those ones you rotate. I've given it a few good yanks to make sure it's closed, no dice.

[u/IAMA_Plumber-AMA → u/JackPembroke]

You probably have either a Delta or Moen faucet then. It needs to have its cartridge replaced.

Does the handle feel really hard to turn? Or does it feel quite loose?

[u/JackPembroke → u/IAMA_Plumber-AMA]

Neither, pretty normal I'd say. And its a Grohe handle and Grohe shower head

[u/IAMA_Plumber-AMA → u/JackPembroke]

Ah, that's about a continent away from the ones I'm familiar with. Give me a sec and I'll look them up.

Edit: Ah, that looks like a new "we have Moen at home" brand.

[u/IAMA_Plumber-AMA → u/JackPembroke]

Do you have to pull the handle out to get the water to start flowing, or do you only have to turn it?
