Input: Text: this saga has been happening all semester, and earlier today i became aware of my fuck up.

i'm an american student currently studying abroad in london. my roommates and i are staying in university sponsored housing, which has its own maintenance service. 

our kitchen sink has periodically been backing up over the course of the semester. recently, however, it seems like i have to call maintenance every other week to unclog our sink. i've been extremely careful about what actually goes down the drain since the second time the sink backed up, and i've told my roommates to be careful as well. 

last week, only days after we called maintenance, the sink started to get backed up again. for some reason, i'm the only one who ever lets maintenance know when our sink is backed up. i was tired of calling them, and i was a bit embarrassed that they had to keep coming back, so i decided to take matters into my own hands. it can't be that hard to unclog a sink, right? wrong.

logically, my first place to look for a solution to my problem was the internet. i looked up how to unclog a sink and got two options: a snake or a baking soda/white vinegar mixture. next, i called my grandpa because he's the person i always call when i need advice on fixing things around the house. he said a snake would be a lot of work, and that i should get drano. i've used drano at home multiple times on my own shower/sink, and white vinegar is hard to come by over here, so i thought drano was a pretty good idea. 

when i went to the hardware store on saturday, i asked for a snake, but they didn't have the right one for my drain (seriously??). they did, however, have a chemical similar to clean out the drain. alright, that's what grandpap said would work, so i got it. 

i go home and use it. six minutes later, the drain is unclogged, the sink is empty, and life is great. 

about a few hours later, the sink starts to drain slower and slower. this continues until today, and again i'm fed up. i try unclogging the drain again with the chemical without success. when i go and return the chemical to under the sink, i realize the pipes are leaking! so, now not only is my draining extremely slowly, but because of the drano-like chemical, there's a hole in my pipes! i've called emergency maintenance, and now i'm waiting for them to fix my fuck up and hopefully this damn drain.
