Ewwwwwww, Seattle!
Dear Seattle,
Please stop pouring grease and fat down your drains. It makes your sewers really, really gross.
We know that nobody really expects a metropolitan area's sewer system to be an immaculately kept vision of cleanliness out of better homes and gardens, but when your sewers are backing up on a regular basis due to the collected bacon fat and ice cream residue you wash down the sink, it's time to rethink how you do the dishes. And maybe do some serious pondering on how much bacon you're consuming. Maybe?
And if just the notion of the pipes beneath your home backing up and depositing sewer water into your home due to the fact that they're clogged with the remnants of years worth of discarded nachos and pork products, remember that this is only the first step in what could be an ongoing nightmare. Because when you have persistent fatty sewer backups, the sewer monsters can't be far behind.
You don't want sewer monsters, do you, Seattle?
