Ever since I moved into my place I've noticed that the bathroom sink and shower don't drain super well. I could even see some gnarly dark mass lurking beneath both drains. If only I had chopsticks I could extricate the tangle lickity split. Alas, this is Mexico and there are no sticks of the Asian variety. Instead, I had to pull a Macgyver and use a steak knife and the the knife on a bottle opener to get at the black mass.
I poked at it and noticed that the nest submerged beneath the pool of stagnant water was much larger than I had anticipated. Luckily, the teeth of the steak knife hooked the strands of hair and I was able to get it out bit by bit. The smell was unlike anything I've ever known and I've changed diapers (for babies and adults). There was sooo much hair and it was beginning to dissolve into this black and gray gelatinous hairball.
The sink was pretty gnarly too. There was a surprising amount of hair and nail clippings.
With the gobbledy goop gone, I can shower without wading in an inch deep pool of my own filth. I love Sundays.

Moi! I love picking out those ugly masses too---very satisfying!!! I was a bit unprepared for the nail clippings and the smell...Patti
Me too, Patti. Me too. Sweet and smelly satisfaction.
that thing looks super familiar. i'm pretty sure i dug that hairball outta my shower drain two years ago. can't remember what i did with it so i suppose it could be the same one...
