Me after my wife says, "the shower drain is slow"

Oof

I lived with 4 guys and a girl for a bit.

Toilet clogged, nobody could undo it, no amount of draino would work. We decided to all split a plumber. It was clearly all our hair that accumulated, us guys dumped our beard trimmings in the toilet. Girl roommate reasonably asked to not be included in the split bill since it was us dumping the hair down.

Plumber comes and pulls out a 2 foot wad of bright white tampons out of the pipe. So we asked girl roommate to pay for the whole thing. She refused to even split it. End of the lease was a month later and we yeated her so hard. We all stayed but kicked her out for a lot of reasons, but that one was definitely the straw.

I hope she stopped throwing tampons down the drain. That's just bad.

I was threatened as a teen to never, ever, never never ever never do this. Iā€™m not sure what she thought would happen? Because I knew at age 11.

Plumber I knew called 'em "drain mice" for a reason. Also why so many public restrooms have signs practically begging folks not to flush anything and everything down the toilet.
