Here's one for you to keep in the back or your mind somewhere.
Let's just say someone's wife brought her friend and her daughter on a 4-day bus outing with you.
On the last day there is something unusual with the toilet.
Well the friend and her daughter say, They say on the package that they are flushable.
Where do you think that toilet empties to?
Did you ever see how big those things get?
All you guests log in and see this picture.
Yeah Those and hair bands ( the cloth covered rubber ones.) Macerator pumps absolutely don't like either.
Spent many an hour taking things apart and putting them back together
because of an "OOooops" ....
Nothing worse than trying to disassemble a macerator that has failed due to stupid stuff going down the drains.
( Yes there are worse things... Like reaching up into a clogged tank fitting..)
Been there done that....
Or Someone wants you to repair their tank valve and after asking repeatedly if the tank has been drained you get to work only to find that it hasn't at the moment the sawzall cuts through the pipe.......
BTDT......
Ha Ha Ha Ha...
That must be what caused the big sewage explosion in the movie "RV" ;D
Nick-
I remember when I was about 12 my older sister 13 1/2 was outside with a friend and I and he deceided to spray her with the hose. Wet t shirt contests were new then and he thought he would see something swell up. Well something swole up all right but but it was in her pants pocket. She pulled a couple of those things out that had gotten all wet and threw them at him, it was about 20 years before I figured out how a woman could get one out when it was full. She was rather poed about that.
I watched a poor fella try to empty the honey bucket tank on a Douglas DC-10. Pulled the truck under and hooked up the hose, a very large hose I might add. He did not have it locked properly and when he opened the dump valve, well he looked like a very unhappy blue smurf.
Gee while we're on stories..
I bought a 3 bedroom house that had just been fixed up, and I rented to 5 gorgeous girls. Apparently they had the same thought about flushing those pipe cleaners as Ednj's women. The plumber who had re piped the house, had forgotten to put the cleanout cap on, and it was under the house. Some months later, the entire under the house had floaters. I tracked down the plumber, and made him crawl under the house to put the cap on, and then roato rooter the line out. When he came out from under the house, he was much darker in color than when he went under. I don't think he ever forgot a cleanout cap again!

Both of those were the kind of moments when somebody
had to be thinking "Why did I take this job?".
