it always rains, we just feel damp when it pours

There is a tap in my bathroom that has been leaking for the past 2 months.
in this period 7 different people have lived in this house cumulatively, 4 at a time, all getting the opportunity to view the dripping tap, and its steady flooding of the bathroom.
i hate the wastage of water, don't care much about electricity,air,food,etc but something about water gets me elementally.
so i realized that the tap was dripping due to wear and tear of the threads and that the faucet would need to be replaced - 1&1/2 months back.
i let all concerned know about that fact.
then i took a single unit of a medicinal blister pack and shoved it into the crevice where the threads are worn and used as a makeshift squeezy thingie to stop the dripping.

the dripping worsens day by day and all i do is shove the blister pack deeper and harder , more and more futilely . All of us do nothing about, all aware that its just a matter of time.

one day the system will breakdown and (probably) in the middle of some exam, presentation or urgent matter the water will gush out purposefully to flood the entire house.

I know it. We all know it. I still probably wont do anything about it till it happens.

A Metaphor for typical inertia.

We never buy umbrellas when its raining, we just get a little damp when it pours.

enjoy!
