Stupid hundred-year-old plumbing, robble robble....
So, A few weeks ago my toilet started gurgling for no good reason. Then, we noticed mysterious crud piles in the tub (I deliberately said "crud" instead of "crap;" that comes later.) We called the landlord, he called the plumber, the plumber found out someone had been FLUSHING PAPER TOWELS DOWN THE GODDAMN TOILET, causing weird backflow into my (basement) bathroom. Snaked & conquered, status quo.

A week or so later, more gurgling. blah blah, plumber came back & found more junk, including MORE FUCKING PAPER TOWELS, and snaked again, recommending to us and the landlord that he do some drain pipe replacement, particularly in the area of a couple elbows in a weird part of my bathroom.

Last Friday, crud officially became crap.
Saturday, landlord dug deep into our bathroom wall to expose some very scary-looking, ancient, corroded, leaking pipe which would've been bad on its own, but was made worse by being the exact location of blockage.
Sunday.... of course, nothing. What kind of plumber comes out on a Sunday? Bathroom stinks, but it works...ish.
Yesterday, landlord and plumber dig, expose more bad pipe, decide to seal the bathroom for the night and give us the keys to the recently-vacated upstairs unit. As it has its own street entrance, the 2am trip to the bathroom is mildly inconvenient. My bear-looking roommate and I go to Bed Bath & Beyond to find a shower curtain, and elicit many odd stares.
Today, I find out that the water to the whole building has been shut off, and we can all go to the Best Western up the street and take it out of our rent. My bear-looking roommate and I go to Walmart for a baby gate to secure the cat in the living room for the night, and elicit many more odd stares (possibly because we were debating how high the little one could jump without declaring that she is feline.)
Now, I am off to my hotel room for the sole purpose of taking a shower. Insurance money/rent reduction be damned, tomorrow I'm buying a gallon of water to make coffee and brush my teeth, and I'll just be the smelly kid at work for a couple days.
Oh, and I bought a new flash this weekend which should be arriving tomorrow. Yay!
