My sister moved house and noticed a weird smell from the kitchen sink. Plumber found a mini fatberg down the drain. The old bloke they bought the house from had been tipping everything down the plughole. For years.

nauseated emoji
(the emoji itself is nauseating)

The smell is even better

How does this happen? Is it more for things like bacon grease rather than cooking oil? Because cooking oils are usually (not always, coconut oil for example) liquid to lower temperatures than water.

Also if you stay in the same place too long, you'll have explain what the fuck happened to the sink to your landlord

And every other renter after you will curse your anonymous name.

No, they'll just tell the landlord. You don't rent, do you?

It's the landlords responsibly to repair the sink. A place being rented full-time to different people can't be blamed on any one tenant even if this wasn't the case.

that implies you get a functioning sink when you move in and it doesnt already have issues they just covered up temporarily

[–] Comment105@lemm.ee -2 points 2 months ago

And the next places you move will bless you with clogged sinks. Contact the previous renter of each and thank them.

If I'm in an Airbnb I pour it in the lawn.

I live in an area without public sewerage though. All our sewage goes into a series of septic tanks underground in our backyard.

It's a bit of a pain really because in summer when all the grass is brown the septic tank area still requires attention.

You see industrial devastation.

I see job creation.

The public has voted for fascism and hate. Not my problem.

Less than 50% of voters voted for fascism so I'm gonna clog all the drains in my area (???)
