I go to brush my teeth this morning and the water backs up in the sink. Dammit, I've got work to do! So I think, simple, rip a couple of things apart to clean it out, I've done that before, hair always gets caught in the mechanism. Weeeeeell, there was hair in the trap mechanism, the trap itself, the cleanout and still no good flow. I say, well sh*t, I've got to break out the big plumbing snake. Not what I wanted to do right then, but I didn't want to push the pain until later or have to call a plumber. So down the cleanout I go with that thing and lo and behold, I hook a huge wad of hair (which looks suspiciously like the biggest drowned rat in history) comes up from 3 feet down that had lodged in the next bend of the pipe. I figure it was 16 years worth! What an effing mess! Black, stinky crap all over under the sink! Just nasty! This was not a good morning at all!
Even though I make sure to clean out any hair from the sink before I wash it out, some hair still gets down the drain. That's not counting the shower! God knows what's down there! I don't wanna know. I've got real fine hair, not too long, and it's loves to get caught on every little bump in the pipes, so even if I'm careful, some of it still gets down there to cause havoc years down the road. WHAT A PAIN IN THE ...............! The only solution I've come up with is to shave it all off! No more problem, ya think?
