The problem: a double sink -clogged
The place: summer housing for women ages 18 -20, and one anomalous 47 year old
The question: how long has the sink been like that?
The response: since this morning
The clarifying question: is anyone coming to fix it?
The response: maintenance doesn't work on weekends, so we have to wait until Monday. We did try looking everywhere for a plunger".
>>insert the needle scratching off the record sound here<<<
A suggestion for a solution: I have a car, so I'll go get some Liquid Plumber(TM).
A counter-solution: isn't that expensive and really toxic?.
So, what did I learn from this? The younger ladies in the house may not know how to shut of lights, or know what is / is not recyclable, but they do know a caustic product when it is mentioned as a solution to a problem.
