Lol yeah, Cali weather sucks like that, even in winter. ...TBH everyone's like "Espy why would you want to work anywhere besides Cali, that's like weather paradise" and I'm like... TBH guys Cali weather's not all that great. Grass is always greener, and all.

I generally pour shit down the toilet because it's less likely to clog, but running hot water down the sink after you dump stuff in there generally helps with that, no?

[Tam I am]

Nope. Hot water down the sink after the stuff just makes the smell come faster. LOL

[Espy]

Hm, odd. I've never had an issue with that.

[Tam I am]

Have you ever lived in government housing? LOL

[Espy]

...Okay, good point.

[Tam I am]

The soap scum deposit out of the bathroom sink drain was like something out of a horror movie.

[Witchchylde]

Ew, I bet it was like slimy and black and drippy! And if you looked at it wrong, did it move?

Oh man. There was this one time I loaned my second-worst roommate a bowl, which she used to store...I think it was an open packet of ranch dressing? Anyways, the thing sat on her desk for three weeks before I was like "yo I really need my bowl back", so one morning, she washed washed it out before class and like. Left the residue in the sink. The *moldy* residue. I'm mycophobic.

I came back that afternoon and leaned over to splash some water on my face and nearly had a panic attack.

Apparently her excuse was, "I didn't have time to clean out the sink because I was running late to class". ...Okay, fine, then you should have just waited until after class to do everything in one go, so that people don't have to clean up behind you.

I'm assuming she was also the one dumping makeup-infused water into the sink and not wiping down afterwards, because neither of the other two suitemates used much makeup, and there was this wonderful perpetual coating of brown gunk in and around the shared sink that I had to often grab some tissues and clean out.

A little coating of mineral oil would have prevented the make up from bonding to the sink to begin with, but I suppose that would have been asking too much of her. Like, soak a cotton ball with baby oil and swab the sink before using anything with pigment, so it will rinse away instead of leaving a stain.

It looked like a huge black poop, and I didn't get close enough to see any other details. I just nearly swore off soap for the rest of my life.

Huh. I'll have to remember that trick.

[Death by Mirrors]

I didn't know that trick either, so thanks!
Not that I'm using make up, but I suppose it will also work for rinsing away hair dye and stuff.

[EverAshwood]

*takes notes for next time*

also, hello

[Death by Mirrors]

Hello cookie. I mean, EverAshwood.

[Witchchylde]

Hair dye is exactly why I learned that trick; although not a good idea for the shower stall, it's great in the sink.
