LuxFX / They Think They’re Newsworthy

I pulled the grossest hairball out of our shower drain. I had noticed there were a few hairs wrapped around the spokes of the grill that was covering the drain, and I crouched down to pluck them out. I started tugging, and instead of a few stray hairs, a huge wad of hair lunged up from the depths of our plumbing like a sea monster from the abyss. It wasn’t just hair, it was a sludge of mostly hair, mixed with used shampoo and soap, and who-knows-what kind of body dirt that had been washed down into that sludge. It was all wet and tangled up in the grill. It was hanging on to the grill like it knew what I was doing, and wanted to stay in our shower. I had to grab it as hard as I could and rip it from the grill, while all of the old shampoo and soap came squeezing out between my knuckles like a putrid white paste.

I finally wrestled the hairy monster into the trashcan. But for a while there … I thought it was going to eat my hand.
