The Snake Toilet

Warning: This story is not for the weak of stomach!!!

So a couple weeks ago one of the Idiot Potatoheads that are living in this house thought it'd be a good idea to put paper towels down the toilet...
AMATEUR MISTAKE.

Even more idiotic considering the fact that it had happened a couple weeks before AND the toilet had gotten clogged and we had a tenant discussion about the situation: NO MORE PAPER TOWELS DOWN THE TOILETS.

Apparently, they don't learn.
They DO drink.

So someone partied hard and couldn't keep it all down. Managed to make it into the 1st floor bathroom though - Unknown substances & papertowels were found clogging the toilet the next morning.

** Fast forward to Yesterday **

Plumber came.
Me and a friend were in the house... we were both mortified.
I could not believe that I had to show him that toilet. I was so embarassed.

Just to give you an idea of how bad it was - the plumber said he had not seen a toilet that bad in a "very very long time". When he removed the paper towel (which was crusted but moist with the dark unknown substance) he was wretching...

The smell was vile.

I'm not entirely sure that he didn't puke. He might have. I know I was about to. I had to leave the room.

After that, I threw out the garbage at a public bin because the idea of that stinking bag being in/around the house until the next waste pick up was unbearable.

Later that night, a couple of the Potatoheads asked me if there was someone over in the morning cause they heard voices. ARGH!!!

THESE ARE THE DIRTIEST PEOPLE THAT I HAVE EVER MET AND THEY HAVE NO SHAME.

Honestly, now when I look at all books and movies I have read/watched romanticising the hard times and stereotypes that these people had to overcome...
I relate to the OTHER side.

I have been in outhouses that smelled sweeter than the remnants of that bag o'sh*te which I unfortunately had to venture unsuspectingly upon.
CK - you are my hero for picking up same bag o'sh*te and disposing of it.
you are also very kind to VOLUNTEER your services...I'll be home after six if you want to pop by and give my house a good clean for free :)

why is this called the "snake" toilet?
why not raccoon? or guppy?
snakes should be placed in higher regard than the association made here with the Toilet

lover of the snake

p.s. Ginny is NOT impressed.

It is called a "Snake Toilet" because that is what it said on the invoice from the plumber.

Don't blame me.
Blame the serpent in the Garden of Eden for giving them all a bad name.

Oh.
I'm apalled! but mostly just confused...if I didn't have my right mind, I would call to demand an explanation and then ask them to change it.
invoice huh? are you allowed to disclose how much a job like that would cost?
for me, I wouldn't do it for less than...$1000
