I learned this from my dad… When I was young, we had a plumbing leak on a Sunday night, p-trap was leaking. All places were closed, so he went to a McDonald’s bathroom and stole theirs to replace ours.
20 something years later, my faucet was leaking. It was a discontinued model from a brand owned by home Depot, though they still had the display model up. Remembering what my pa did, I took the display model apart and took what I needed.
From this story alone I have several ideas of what your accent is, also this is the type of shit my kin would pull. I’m more of a "how many parts can I daisy chain while maintaining no leakage, my record is 12 which was the minimum needed. I hope an actual plumber never looks at my bathtub plumbing cause the faucet is certainly doing things much like my computers cable management.
I am interested in what you assume me accent be, though I’ll give ya some hints and you tell me where I’m from…
My wife teases my pronunciation of butter and water as they come out as “budder” and “wooder”, house roofs as “woofs”, and I call water creeks “cricks”. She also laughs at me when I get angry \ passionate as I become louder and sound like “one of those Italian gangsters from the old bugs Bunny cartoons”. And she’ll repeat back to me, exaggerated, “whaddya talkin about?!” as I seem to ask her that before every debate…
Well initially I was gonna guess North Eastern Coastal, or perhaps some of the less known accents from Western Appalachia but I’ve known folks from around Bakersfield who pronounced water, butter, and creeks like ya so I ain’t got no fucken clue. It’s one of those things where its got overlaps with but not totality with accents I do know, even my own accent does the budder thing. But now I ain’t so certain.
Philadelphia! Very astute, my friend. Where are you yourself?
I somewhat thought that getting an education, working white collar, social media, and living in Europe the last 6 years that I would have of lost my accent. Hence why I found your comment so interesting!
SoCal more specifically Inland Empire San Bernardino foothills.
Also your accent stay with you hell it can even stay with your kin depending on various factors. My accent is basically just an old regional accent but if I get pissy enough it rapidly devolves into a bastardized brogue. But yeah I find dialects and accents interesting especially in how they mutate diverge and reconverge.
Also if you are at all curious I pronounce it budder, wader, and rooves.

lmaooo that’s why bathrooms in those places now have the minimal setup to work properly. Good to know that I can be part of the change.
