One time we had both our toilets out of commission due to finding rot had spread between bathrooms. It was only for a day so no portapotty. We went to McDonalds when we needed to go. It was a tiny introduction to what homelessness feels like. That trivial experience affected how I think about the unhoused.

My oldest son's father used to clog the toilet.

He'd use a whole roll, and leave the mess. THen he'd go again. And again. Sometimes the TP was up over the toilet seat.

I refused to clean up his feces(my son was an infant, and in diapers, that was enough). There was a small grocery store two blocks away that I'd use.

That kinda sucked, but I was NOT cleaning that up.

Dark roast grind?

Dark as the heart of a black hole. Ground like my heart. Into the dust. Roasted as if in a fiery pit.

Otherwise, it was a pretty good day. Got a lot done.

Sorry to hear that.

I can't understand how a person could come to that and not take care of it themselves. Use a little preventive maintenance, curtesy and forethought to navigate through that before it exploded out of proportion.

I'm fastidious and obsessive about that aspect of hygiene. Very anal.

When he lived at home, his dad took care of the toilet for him.

He just assumed someone would always oversee his ****.

He was more mindful about it after some of his friends showed up, and one needed to use the bathroom.

There was a hell of a noise once Mt. TP was discovered.

He was very embarrassed. I about laughed until I cried.

Wow! That is taking parenting to a new level.

I'm pretty sure the folks would have had a discussion with me and made sure I was square on taking care of my own needs on that one.

Peer pressure pooping sounds it worked out for you.

Did that cure him,?

I think dear old dad really needed to go, and you could hear him in there hollering at his son...

He didn't have the means to wait for his wayward son to come clean up.

It made the mountain disappear for the most part. There were still clogs, but one could sit down.

Sometimes, in desperate haste, you will do what needs to be done. Follow up with the source is important.

I think he did follow up with source.

Source was an unmovable force.

Tis why I eventually moved on from that situation.

(Not because of the toilet.)

Yes, I see. Some things can be indicators of deeper problems. That toilet things seems like a big indicator.

A time came when that relationship had to be flushed, though there were a few clogs in the pipes to freedom.

I wish I had recognized that time in my own life for what it was, but my instinct was to try and save it. It cost me dearly. But I'm still here and maybe there is still time to recover from the more practical devastation.

Anyway, I better get ready for bed.

Early to bed and early to rise. Makes...just sucks, but I get more done.

That was my first instinct as well. I eventually had some help with the flushing, and another to standby with the plunger, or that might have got ugly.

It cost me dearly.

I'm very sorry to hear that.

But I'm still here and maybe there is still time to recover from the more practical devastation.

I hope so. You're a good rabbit, and you don't deserve to be devastated.

Anyway, I better get ready for bed.

Yeah, it does suck.

Hope you get a lot done to make up for it, and make it worth the trouble.

So in time the mountain became a mole hill.

Yes!

Though who wants to crap on a mole hill?

One wonders what the thinking behind that habit was

Seems I have very little complain about with the partners I've had

Laziness. Absolute laziness.

I remember he came up to me once(at age 27), shaking his head in disgust, nasty sneer on his face. I could tell if I played my cards wrong, I was going to get a major temper outburst. (For some background, I was the only one working.)

"I don't know how you can live with yourself."

I asked him what he meant.

"I'm dirty, and haven't bathed in days. I'm so hungry that I'm losing weight."

I had no idea what this had to do with me, and I asked him for details on how this was my fault.

"You haven't been cooking. I haven't eaten in days!"

I asked him why he didn't go and get himself some food; it was available in the fridge/cupboard.

"I can't cook my own food! All the magic will go out of it."

I inquired about the bathing problem.

"I can't bathe! All the towels are in the dryer."

I asked him why he didn't get them out.

"Are you kidding!? My socks are in there! If I go down the stairs without socks, I could get a splinter on the stairs."

And this ******* tried to pass himself off as the 'tough guy' sort.

OMG.

Has he been in long term relationships since?
