Holy cow their is a lot of water pressure going to the faucet on the kitchen sink - lol I was looking stupid for a couple seconds trying to figure out what I did wrong

( I really hate to jump on here....but )
If your gas gauge was broke in the car, would you use a match to check how much is in the tank ? Have you ever tried to check the oil, while the lawnmower is RUNNING ?... If the garden hose is frozen @ one end ..would you turn the water on.... and keep looking inside the other end waiting for the ice to come out ? Have you ever tried to wash ( with hose) a electric fan ..while its running so it will dry quicker ? Just some more ""Home Improvement"" tips for you !!!

That's a hilarious story. And it makes me feel better about living in a rental, where I'm supposed to call the super to come fix things. How do you turn off the water pressure, anyway?

down below your sink you should see 2 handles, follow the hoses and they should go to the faucets. one is for hot, other cold. should just pull out and push in.
