HI I AM THE AMAZING RANDY YOU WOULD WISH TO SEE MY TATTOS

― Amazing Randy, Sunday, 21 September 2003 20:19 (twenty-two years ago)

This is not a secretive habit, but one which is essential for letting the water go down the plughole.

Yes, it is always me, but I have the longest hair in my household, so it's only fair really.

x-post with the Amazing Randy who seems slightly over excited by the subject.

― Anna (Anna), Sunday, 21 September 2003 20:21 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes, he's randy and that's amazing.

AARGH I am this house's depilator of plugholes. Which sounds rude. Euww.

― suzy (suzy), Sunday, 21 September 2003 20:23 (twenty-two years ago)

often it is me, but again I have the longest hair so.....

― Ed (dali), Sunday, 21 September 2003 20:24 (twenty-two years ago)

your logical angle is great Anna, but i have found that most people i talked to either didnt admit doing it or thought i was gross for doing it...
its kinda like picking your nose and wiping it on the same colored wallpaper... this is also probably not a secretive habit, but one which is essential for unblocking yhe nasal passage

I wish I could do this, but I find my gag reflex acting up at the very thought.

― Melissa W (Melissa W), Sunday, 21 September 2003 20:27 (twenty-two years ago)

is art skool suzy going to the big ball on thursday?

smelling your own belly button lint? this is pretty gross.

― the Director (cherry), Sunday, 21 September 2003 20:30 (twenty-two years ago)

i met a boy once, who used to scratch his balls and then sniff his hand!!!!!!
yuk

― the Director (cherry), Sunday, 21 September 2003 20:30 (twenty-two years ago)

mel, suck it up, pull it out

― Ed (dali), Sunday, 21 September 2003 20:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Director, I'm going to a big ball every night this week. Fashion Week innit.

― suzy (suzy), Sunday, 21 September 2003 20:32 (twenty-two years ago)

tell us about your "school project" Director

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Sunday, 21 September 2003 20:36 (twenty-two years ago)

why are navels so stinky? Has Igia yet developed a belly-button-brush? There's a fortune to be made here, somewhere...

― Lewis Carnelian (Grandin), Sunday, 21 September 2003 20:59 (twenty-two years ago)

I dunno guys, but I think 'Belly Button Finger' is, like, the most offensive odour EVER.

― Mike Stuchbery, Sunday, 21 September 2003 21:53 (twenty-two years ago)

We have a lil rubber thing (with holes in it so water still gets through) that goes over the drain and stops the hair from getting into it.

― oops (Oops), Sunday, 21 September 2003 21:57 (twenty-two years ago)

we call it "the hairhole"

as in, "OKAY, who fuckin' plugged up the hairhole AGAIN?!"

― Kingfish (Kingfish), Sunday, 21 September 2003 22:32 (twenty-two years ago)

I generally scrape the hair out with my big toe and then capture the clump with the toe, hang it out of the tub, over the toilet and, well, bombs away. I then scrub my foot thoroughly.

It's never my hair, dammit.

― Charlie Rose (Charlie Rose), Monday, 22 September 2003 03:04 (twenty-two years ago)

I have had to do this with long-haired roommates in the past. Blech.

― Chris P (Chris P), Monday, 22 September 2003 03:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Oddly enough, I've not had to do this at my new place, generally it's all washed down without a worry. However, the drain did finally start to slow up a bit recently, though this was recently cleaned out -- and happily not by me. :-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 22 September 2003 05:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Ugh, cleaning out blocked drains is so disgusting. Once I had to do so at my girlfriend's apartment in Barcelona - a city renowned for its antiquated plumbing system - and I was not impressed. Ugh.

I found that when I was living with three Argentinos overseas I was always the one to clear out the plug hole (double-ugh), but now that I'm back home sharing a bathroom with my sister it mysteriously clears itself.

― Andrew (enneff), Monday, 22 September 2003 05:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Ugh!!

― Andrew (enneff), Monday, 22 September 2003 05:46 (twenty-two years ago)

I photograph it.Â

― Alex K (Alex K), Monday, 22 September 2003 07:47 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm glad to be bald. I am also glad that my gf's hair is now a foot shorter than it was before she was living in my house :)

― Mark C (Mark C), Monday, 22 September 2003 08:06 (twenty-two years ago)

Did you attack her with scissors on the front path?

― Ricardo (RickyT), Monday, 22 September 2003 08:12 (twenty-two years ago)

No, she, er, tripped into me as I was holding a hedgetrimmer.

― Mark C (Mark C), Monday, 22 September 2003 08:28 (twenty-two years ago)

My girlfriend can't bear to do this, so every couple of months I get round to unblocking her shower for her. When I remove the cover of the plughole, up with it comes a foot-long snake of greasy semi-solid dark matter, exactly as wide as the pipe. I find it quite interesting.

Does anyone want my lunch?

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Monday, 22 September 2003 10:54 (twenty-two years ago)

It is a pretty gross thing, but you have to do it. I usually do it in my household & I can just about get over it, but when you move to a new house & have to do this, eurgh, it makes me gag!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Monday, 22 September 2003 10:57 (twenty-two years ago)

HI I AM THE AMAZING RANDY

― Amazing Randy, Monday, 22 September 2003 11:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Dude, enough already!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Monday, 22 September 2003 11:09 (twenty-two years ago)

I always had to do it when Emma had long hair. Hooray when she cut it, nomore block'd drains.

― Pete (Pete), Monday, 22 September 2003 11:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Be quiet everyone, I want to hear more from Randy and I want to know what makes him so amazing !

― Fuzzy (Fuzzy), Monday, 22 September 2003 13:22 (twenty-two years ago)

He wont tell you, you just have to believe!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Monday, 22 September 2003 13:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Is it anything to do with his 'tattos' ?

― Fuzzy (Fuzzy), Monday, 22 September 2003 13:37 (twenty-two years ago)

I cheat and us draino!
(It also might be Randy's secret to his amazingness)

I used to live with someone who bore a strong resemblence to Riff Raff and even ended up playing that role in a university production of RHPS.

PS, they are called 'Man Size' Kleenex for a reason. Take a fucking hint why don't ya.

― insert 2012 appropriate display name here (snoball), Tuesday, 24 January 2012 16:25 (fourteen years ago)

think i started a thread about 'man size' Kleenex at one point. is it just accepted as fact that they're for jerking off? why is there no wanking in the adverts?

― pfutt, Tuesday, 24 January 2012 16:31 (fourteen years ago)

"Is that a jellyfish coming out of the plughole?"

― mmmm, Tuesday, 24 January 2012 17:01 (fourteen years ago)

Ans to OP: Yes.

Ans to OP: Yes.

Me too, and I'm the bald one in this house! grrr

― "Blue" Meme Tyranny (WmC), Tuesday, 24 January 2012 17:12 (fourteen years ago)

Yes. I generally love doing disgusting dirty jobs like that and hate ironing, hoovering, etc.

― gyac, Tuesday, 24 January 2012 18:19 (fourteen years ago)

my last flatmate lost more hair than a yeti on one of those "finding the yeti" programmes, yet she never cleaned the plughole, ever. she shed hair around the house too. when you'd mop any floor extracting her hair from the mop added a good 10 minutes to the task. when she decided to move out for the last month i stuck them all to her door and it was like a fur-lined door by the end.

You did NOT. That's...unexpected.

xpost only every time i was mopping and had to remove them from the mop with rubber gloves...not like, in general.

― Critique of Pure Moods (goole), Tuesday, 24 January 2012 20:23 (fourteen years ago)

Yeah I do. When the plughole inevitably gets blocked, someone (usually me) has to pull the gunk out, and there is always some hair stuck in the gunk, and if the gunk-puller is not me they immediately go "your hair is longest therefore all the gunk is your fault", even if they regularly trim their beard all over the communal sink and then just leave the beard-trimmings there.

But you never get all the hair no matter how careful you are, so you still get to have this exciting conversation every time a plughole blocks.

― Schleimpilz im Labyrinth (a passing spacecadet), Tuesday, 24 January 2012 20:33 (fourteen years ago)

(I don't miss that former housemate, but I still pull hair out of the plughole.)

― Schleimpilz im Labyrinth (a passing spacecadet), Tuesday, 24 January 2012 20:35 (fourteen years ago)

Hmmm. Perhaps I need to have a talk to my husband about our clogged bathtub drain, which he clams is because of my hair. We bought little wire things with hair-gripping bristles, we've dumped countless bottles of draino.. nothing works. It MUST be the semen.
