Why are they under the impression that because it can fit in the garbage disposal, it's ok to put it in the garbage disposal?

This should take me but 40 minutes to fix.

They say everything happens for a reason.
For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

I tell the bride once and the next time she gets to call the plumber and pay for the service call out of her funds.

What did the Married Aggie say when asked if he was getting any on the side? They got one on the side?

I hope you're right on that 40 minutes.

Last time my wife and MIL overloaded my disposer it took nearly 2 hours, and I'm a plumber. And no, I wasn't on the clock.

Prior to buying my house my wife used to put anything and everything down the garbage disposal. Our house now doesn't have one, and I'm not about to install one.


Deal with it.

My wife put the cup from my thermos down the disposal and then turned the power on.

She swears it was an accident.

A new doctor to our community built a palacial home with industrial scale sinks and disposal units. Within 3 months he had to have his septic system pumped. Seems any and all materials (short of metal) that would fit down the system were so disposed of by his wife. The units were removed.

I've only had a plumber at my house once in the last 6 or 7 years. My Love thought you could just fill the disposal with schit while doing the dishes then run it the next DAY.

Amazingly......I was gone for a couple days and she had to call the man. $65 or so and we were fine. Just the small price I pay for my time away I suppose!

You had to mention that one, cost me a toilet after I gave up trying to unplug one of ours and bought a replacement then to make sure it was the toilet smashed it and found the obstruction, a little plastic jar of vaseline, I am so glad she had me put all those cupboards over the toilets, that way stuff gets to fall in and get flushed down. mad

Have one but virtually never use it now. Any food scraps go into the chicken bucket and get turned into eggs.

Back before that was the case, and we occasionally used it, I once had a sink full of various peels, etc. and decided to grind it all through. There was a big pork chop bone hidden in there...

Take out the words "the garbage disposal" where it appears in your post, and contemplate whether it is something a woman might say about some men.

The worst was a penny, it wedged between the rotor and wall and I had to take the whole dang thing apart. She saw it fall in and heard it when she turned it on but she assumed that since steel is harder than copper it would just chop up the penny.

I can't help but smile when listening to her explain how things get screwed up.

Just a guess, it wasn't organic was it?
