I'm in the sketchy vote ballot, like everyone else so far.
Back when I was working mega-overtime, my son youngest flushed all the dog crap down the toilet like he was supposed to do. (You are not supposed to put that in the regular trash, FYI). But he "unknowingly" scooped up a stick that jammed the trap in one of the bathrooms. My wife called out a plumber to take care of it. The guy goofed with it a little, and then declared that the '94 earthquake (we currently live about 18 miles from the epicenter) had cracked the drain pipes, and the concrete floor would have to be jack hammered out and the pipes repaired. My wife sent him packing and called a different plumber. He was full of shit, since the master bathroom toilet and tub/shower use the same drain piping, and they flowed just fine (and they are upstream). The second plumber found the stick in the toilet and cleared the blockage. I'm not saying that the first guy was a crook, but incompetence can be criminal sometimes, as far as I am concerned. Just go to you tube and watch the video of "Flakes" by Frank Zappa.

If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
