LESS???
With this board, I can’t tell if the horror is aimed at the scorpions or the grammar.
You win either way.
(I’m so glad to find fellow wall hairers. My SO thinks I’m insane. I want to know what he does with his hairs.)
The little X in the tub drain has always been enough as a hair catch, combined with my brushing before showering and also combing out after conditioning and I do the same sticking to the wall until after. Whenever it starts draining slowly, all I have to do is grab that hairball that’s collected around the X in the drain. A little gross, but normally non-smelly, and never satisfying like popping a zit. I can’t imagine digging down further into the drain to see what’s down there!
The hair collection thing has worked for me for decades, through six apartments, until last weekend. The shower clogged, I pulled the hair mat out, and it still didn’t drain. I plunged, I did the vinegar and baking soda and boiling water and got nothing but a layer of goo across the bottom of the tub. Whatever was clogging the thing was far down there. When I let it drain all the way, it took about a pot and a half of tea kettle to re-fill the drain to the base of the tub. Seemed far to try to hand snake. Tried two different drain cleaners from Walgreens on two different days to no effect. Tried plunging and hot water again to no effect. Went to the real hardware store and described the problem and the guy gave me a bottle of flakes to pour down there with more boiling water. Whoo! That worked - nothing like some roiling, boiling, sodium hydroxide to finally do the job. That was mildly satisfying - I could hear it roiling and boiling its way down the drain and to the left under the floor and down and was finally quiet after a couple minutes. So nice to have my shower back!
Still can’t imagine the satisfaction of zit/cyst popping from digging that out, though. Wasn’t there a guy on some show - maybe My Strange Addiction - who snaked every drain he could get his hands on? He would go into friends and neighbors houses, pull hair out of drains - the gooier the better - and sort of fondle it until it dried out and then get grossed out and throw it in the trash. Ew!
Yeah. That’s why I quit watching the show altogether. :eek:
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!
You have SCORPIONS coming up your drains?
AAAAAAAAAAGH! AGH! AGH! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
