Sometimes I legit need the site for niche things. Asked for advice about an AirBNB. This time I had literal fecal water coming up from the shower drain. The host claimed it was impossible. I had him come into my unit and flush the toilet and he saw the water come up.

Half the replies were about me clogging the toilet (lol) so it was my fault. Others were saying plumbing issues can be common and to be patient with the host. Had some other replies just straight up calling me dishonest and saying I broke the drain somehow.

Looked into their profiles, low and behold they were all on real estate subs, wall street bets, landlord subs, air bnb host subs, etc. You get the picture. And there were enough of them to sort of shift the narrative in the replies.

Fucking gross and annoying. Just wanted to vent. Got my host to at least start working on the problem. Based on a little snooping the host is a toolbag who got a little inheritance so that bought a place he can barely afford. So he does the plumbing and maintenance all himself while living here. He can’t actually afford to be doing this, but the profits are too good to pass up!

    It’s bad for the environment and probably pouring acid down your pipes for hours is not good for them either. The right way is to snake it but thats something a plumber should do and that’s expensive.
