Idiot, gosh…
Well, today I felt like a moron. Complete, bloody idiot. Why? Well, I’ll tell you.
This morning, I took a shower, and my shower drain was running slow. I finished showering, got out, got dressed, ate breakfast, and when I came back into the bathroom to brush my teeth (30 minutes later), the water hadn’t moved. Now recently, I’ve had trouble with my drains backing up (part of that was the whole “needing to puke and the toilet was occupied” bit when I had food poisoning, mind you, but still… I had to blast the clogs twice with Drain-o power jets). So, I didn’t even thing about it, I poured a quarter of the bottle of Drain-o into the drain and left for work, figuring that the water (given there was so much of it) would rinse everything okay.
Well, I came home around 8:00 and when I went into the bathroom, the water level doesn’t appear to have changed. I was aggravated at this point (Drain-o usually works, after all), so I decide to go at it the old fashioned way and I go find myself a rubber glove.
Well, I reached into the Drain-o/Water mixture, grab the top of the drain plug, and push down. Much to my surprise, the drain popped back up and the water drained without an issue. It seems, despite the fact that I never use the drain stopper, it somehow got pushed in and, as a result, it wouldn’t le the water drain. So now I wasted a quarter bottle of Drain-o on a totally fine drain.
At least now the drain plug is shiny…
