October 24, 2001 - Shower Fresh Edition

Do you have problems with soap scum? Matt and I have had it up to here (motions to shin area) with soap scum. After moving into our apartment in May we discovered the shower drain did not work so well. We bought some wonderfully caustic chemicals but they did not solve anything. If you don't know Matt or me well it is important to realize that we are not plumbers, except for the showing of the buttcrack thing. Frank-ly, I don't even like plumbs very much. Anywho, the drain slowly got worse and finally destiny stepped in and we needed to call the maintenance crew.

Heather and I were listening to They Might Be Giants, Ice Ice Baby and other classic tunez when our peace was shattered. THE CEILING WAS LEAKING. I immediately swore. With that out of the way Matt and I called the 24hr Maintenance worker,see Lincoln Real Estate never rests. He showed up with grass stained knees and saggy pants, only to tell us that he tightened some things. At least he didn't smell of cheap b00z3. We told him about the tub and Mr. Helpful told us to call during the week.

A few days later I called and by the end of the day we had a drain that emptied the tub in the blink of an eye. The moral of this story is that caustic chemicals are nothing compared a man with his a$$crack hanging out.
