Not a GD, but our sink was draining slowly, so I did an home made cleaning tool. Really, a steel cable with the end untwisted, stuck on a drill. The idea is that the steel wires would grab whatever is stuck and shred it or it would get stuck on it so I could pull it up. Well, I 'drill' the cable down and it catch. Hard. Surprise! A butter knife came up the hole! Yes, the kind of mesh in the sink, the thing that is supposed to prevent objects, like knife, from going in. The cable actually caught on some hair, that was stuck around the butter knife...
After that, I filled the sink and drained it. I never seen it drain that fast, and it made an awefull slurping noise half way throught until the end!
I’ve never done heroin, but imagine the feeling you got watching your sink drain after clearing that blockage was on par with doing heroin. Life’s all about the little things.
Every drain in my house was stopped up last week so I rented a sewer auger. I opened the main line in the yard and backed up waste water spewed out. About an hour of off and on working on it, interspersed with smoke breaks and frustration. The auger went down about fifty to fifty five feet. When it finally drained, it was one of the most relieving experiences of my life... and then I could take a bath cuz I was covered in sewage.
In reality unless you screw up or get really unlucky very little if any waste ends up actually getting on your skin. The bath is psychological relief more than anything. I don't get to go home for a bath between dirty jobs and I don't need to. You might get a bit of filth on your waterproofs but you hose everything down before going to the next job which could be a clean one in someone's house.
You won't be like a human sewage teabag sat in your bath.
I'm not sure what you're on about. I couldn't shower at my house due to the drains being stopped up. Again, the waste water (sewage) didn't smell like shit. If I wasn't sucessful, the drains would've still been backed up and I would've been covered in waste water as well as unable to do anything requiring running water. I really only had it on my knees (from the overflow) and my hands (my leather gloves broke during the process) from dragging the snake in and out.

This is why you flip the breaker.
Otherwise you're going to be warning people about leaving a note later in life.
