Today, I woke up to find that the large container of leftover beef stroganoff that I put down the garbage disposal last night had backed up into my bathtub this morning. FML

I'm a plumber so let me offer some advice. rule of thumb states that excess food needs to be disposed of in the garbage. the purpose of your disposal is for small scrap meal left on the plate that wouldn't come off by scraping the plate over the garbage can. examples: rice pieces, a few noodles, or that little bit of lettuce from your salad. not an entire rubbermaid container of stroganoff. PS the only thing that is good for your disposal is ice. it sharpens the blades and doesn't clog up. NO EGGSHELLS OR POTATO SKINS. just FYI

I was in drain cleaning for a few months. That is all. P.s. don't do dumb shit.

I was just browsing for fun. Thanks for the tip.

you put food in the compost, not the trash.

Some people obviously don't understand the real purpose of a garbage disposal.

i will never understand this, why do you throw trash down the drain in the US? like i know it gets ground up, but your sewers must be an almost solid soup of trash... why dont you just, i dont know, use a garbage can?
