The Leaky Faucet Legend

It was just a faucet, but not just any faucet. This faucet had a mind of its own.

It would leak for hours, days, and even weeks on end. The water would flow like a miniature river, soaking everything nearby.

People would try to stop it, but it would just keep on leaking. It was like it had a will of its own.

The legend says it was once a normal faucet, but after a freak accident involving a can of soda and a toaster, it became sentient.

What did it mean?, Why didn't they fix it?, Leaky-pocalypse?
