    I did a summer job when I was like 20yo, where I had to clean the sewers for a month. It wasn’t that bad of a job actually. You wear protective equipment and you use the big truck to suck all of the nasty things. Apart from the smell, it’s fine, nice outdoor activity for a student summer job.

    After that, things like wet food in the kitchen sink or hair in the shower drain didn’t cause me any issue. If it’s actually dirty, just wear rubber gloves. Wet food from the sink is nothing, you can use your bare hands and rince.

      I’m like that from my time in the army. I’ll just shut my brain off for anything super gross and then go take a long long long long long shower. With bleach.

        Oh the smell of chlorine in water from the lister bags. I’ll never get over that smell.

    One time at a kitchen job I was cleaning out the floor drain and my glove broke.

              I feel ya! I’m trying not to be a curmudgeon but it’s slowly happening. I’ll soon be yelling at the kids to get off my lawn except who can afford a house and fuck lawns. 😜

      I recently saw something similar happen to an Australian drain cleaner.
