Clogged Arteries



I was showering today at the gym and the drain started to back up.
I pulled the drain up and there was a glob of something (hair, semen, soap, and poop?) a full six inches long hanging from the drain.

Then inside the drain pipe I could see that the circumference of the pipe had about 1/4" to 1/2"of the same grey-brown substance lining it. Like an artery clogged with cholesterol, the pipe was completely entrenched in this vile goop.

I immediately dropped the drain cover to the tile floor and went for my camera. When i leaned over to snap these photos the smell was overwhelming. I cannot quite describe it but I thought I was going to throw up. (i blame that nausea for the blurry picture.)

Poop on the Soap?




I cannot be sure if this is feces or bacteria or mud but I didn't snap this photo until the second day!
I saw it one day, I didn't have my phone with me. When I came back the next day it was still smeared all over the soap dispenser.
I would not have wanted to clean it either but THAT IS YOUR JOB! You are given money in exchange for cleaning the gym. If house keeping is not going to do their job, can my membership dues be lowered?
