It happened again damn it.

I was hoping I wouldn't have to relay this disgusting story to everyone, but it's reached that point. I have to vent, and this is my platform. Keep in mind this has nothing to do with anything I've done...and my apartment is one of three in this house, with a common laundry area.

It started last Thursday with the toilet gargling water after I had put a load of clothes in the washer. Strange but true. It reached it's all time grossest point when I got up the next morning to take a shower and noticed the shower was filthy. I was confused as to how it got that way. Seeing as it was clean the last time I used it, and no one but me lives here. So I put my glasses on & looked closer. It appeared to be sewage leftovers. Sick, Wrong, and just plain Nasty. Especially since I didn't know who's sewage it even was. So I told my landlord and was told a plumber would be called in to address the situation.

It continued with several near overflow incidences with the toilet. At this point I have to stand at the ready with the plunger in hopes that it won't attempt to overflow. Still no plumber.

The oddest instance was when I started cleaning my toilet and had to battle back the soap bubbles, that I concluded were coming from the load of wash I was doing. I relayed this story to my landlord. The plumber is apparently very busy, but will come soon.

Almost a week since the first incident. After some more gargling & near overflow instances in the toilet...still no plumber.

So. After a long day of work & a crick in my neck I decided a bath would do me good. Oh No. Oh No No No. The sewage reflux happened again...and I have lost all desire to soak my sore muscles.

...and still not a plumber in sight.
