I went into the bathroom and turned on the tub ( probably the oldest jacuzzi known to man). Not trying to use the jets or anything....just the tub spout. I waited a little bit and then pulled the knob up to direct the water up to the shower and the tub spout
shot off and landed on the bottom of the tub.
Am I cracking up? Is there some Secret Squirrel method for keeping your tub spout on the wall once the equipment gets a little long in the tooth? Pushed that baby back on and- once that knob was pulled up - off it flew again.

You obviously have a slide-on spout that needs the set-screw tightened with an Allen wrench.
Good Luck!
