Just realized my parents' fridge strategy is why my sink is backed up today
My kitchen sink clogged up real bad Monday morning, the kind where standing water sits there for hours. I grabbed my plunger and then remembered my mom always told me to pour boiling water down the drain once a month to keep it clear. But I never do it cause it feels like one more chore on my list, you know? My dad was the same way with car oil changes, always said "every 3,000 miles" and then we'd go 6,000 and wonder why the engine knocked. So here I am at 2 AM with a bucket under the pipe, taking apart the trap with a wrench I found in the garage. Has anyone else inherited a bad habit that directly caused a mess in your house?
