15 months ago: "Hey the drain in this place is pretty slow, can you get a plumber to take a look at it? This would cost a trivial amount" "No it's fine just plunge it"

Several attempts to persuade him to call a fucking plumber

Today: "Okay the emergency plumber will be here to fix the burst pipe in the slowly flooding basement by noon"

The funny part is I live on the top floor and he lives on the bottom. Have fun with that, cheapass

So the drain pipe from the shower was literally a small steel pipe wedged into a larger PVC pipe with friction. It was clogged with a simple hair clog that any plumber would fix in 5 minutes. It separated because of the repeated plunging attempts that popped it out of place and poured greywater all through his walls.

If he hadn't A) Ignored the problem for 15 months, B) Repeatedly asked me to unclog the drain with a plunger, and C) Not installed the shitty fix in the first place, all at once, he would've been fine.

He threaded the needle to fucking things up as much as he possible could've. Just impressive work.
