Is it soooo bad?

Is it really that bad to only have one working bathroom? I mean, really? I grew up in a house with only one bathroom for 4 people. We survived. Yeah, sometimes it was tough if you really really had to go and someone was in there taking their precious time, but we survived. In fact, I'm going back to that house next week where there is still only one bathroom. There will be 4 adults and a 2.5 year old to share the one bathroom. We'll make it work. I just don't get it when people complain that one of their two bathrooms isn't working. You still have ONE, right? At least that's something. Sure, it's an inconvenience for people to go tramping through your bedroom to get to the toilet in your bathroom, but it's not going to kill anyone. Besides that, it's only for a couple days until the plumber can get out there on MONDAY (today is FRIDAY) to take care of the toilet that is running. It's not overflowing, mind you, just running. People seem to think that their problem is the biggest (not to mention the only) problem in the world. I mean, come on, do you really expect a competent plumbing company to have an opening the same day that you place your work order? Well, do you? I certainly don't. When I left this place yesterday, I had a full schedule for all of my plumbing technicians. (I've scheduled these guys for 4 years now, so I suppose I can call them mine). I just think it's insane to expect plumbing service the same day. Yeah, we advertise quick service for emergencies. And we usually get it done. I can only work with what I've got, though.
