As long as I rent, it goes down the drain.
- You're not just being inconsiderate to your landlord, though --- 'Monster' fatberg found blocking east London sewer
  Perhaps the endorphin hit from sticking it to your landlord makes it all worthwhile.
  
  "Monster" fatberg found blocking east London sewer
  I was wondering why I hadn't seen your mom around lately
  
  Which reminds me yours still owes me for the Uber.
- This year, on some random holiday, I had to take 20ft of piping out of the walls and remove one solid block of hardened grease that had accumulated there, blocking the pipes, causing dirt water to flow back into the kitchen and into appliances. What a joy that was... the stench alone.
  Don't flush grease down the drain.
- And so does the money.
- Then you are a shitty tennant.
  
  Not just tenant. That can affect everyone around you as well.
  
  Correct. Grease down the drain is simply not based.
  Everyone from neighbors to sewage workers to the environment will have to put up with it.
  Even with our grievances against the ownership of some things, I think we should all be agreeing with "Don't crap (or otherwise ruin) where you eat." Or has the world really reached such a point of madness where that idea is contested too?
  
  Oh, would I be creating an inconvenience for the guy who feels the need to run his leaf blower every week to push dust around? God forbid
  
  You’re taking this random anger out on a hired contractor? The hell?
  
  Possibly him, possibly others you don't know.
  
  I could not convince my best friend not to do this. 😞
  
  I think that's the idea, yes. Fight shit with shit.
  
  Ruin someone else's house because you don't like to be a tennant. I swear people on lemmy are fucked in the head.
  
  Now I'm gonna start liking landlords, thank you.
  
  Buddy we all want huge mansions. The reality of the world is, that housing is scarce. Renting from someone to specifically be a shitty tennant just makes you a miserable person to be around. It also gives them a good reason to kick your ass to the curb.

  Scarce, my ass. Landlords and especially "investors" are manufacturing that scarcity squeeze more money out of us. I don't want a "big mansion", I just want my place to have more square meters than my fucking skin surface. But I don't have that. I pay over 300 Euros for one room. Not a one room apartment, mind you. One. FUCKING. Room. And a fucking small one at that.
  I'm not saying be a shitty tenant for being a shitty tenant's sake. But also don't put in any extra special effort to be a nice one. The better reason to store away fat is that you can reuse it. Plus, it also creates a general sewage problem, not just in your drain, which is bad for all of society in your municipality.
  
  Pouring grease down the drain is being a shitty tennant to your landlord, plain and simple. Some people might not know, that's fine. But if they learn about it and keep doing them, then they deserve eviction.
  
  Anything that fucks over landlords is morally correct. Fuck those parasites, get a fucking job.

  No I don't and no it isn't.
  Not agreeing with being a shitty person but those two points are simply bullshit.
