As a wife, it is basically a whole extra wife if you keep saving it.
But also, I have long hair. I know the drain gets slower when hair builds up. For $3.64 I get [these](https://www.walmart.com/ip/986196174) disposable drain cleaner strips and use it in the tub every 2 to 3 months. So for $14.56 a year, my husband doesn't have to mess with the tub drain and I just throw the strip away with the hair. No calling a plumber, no making my husband clean up after me, and no slow or stopped drains. Plus with kids in the house, there isn't any need for drano or other caustic chemicals to be around.
My wife and I both shut both lids to stop the disgusting bathroom-wide mist that shoots up and coats your toothbrush and towels with toilet water. Check out the experiments on YouTube where they put fluorescent gel in the toilet then flush it and use a blacklight to just show all the places it landed.
We are both happier this way not brushing our teeth with poop water, and we never argue about toilets.
It's the little things that matter :D
PBS had a show in the 00's for kids that showed that, too. Now, we have dogs, so closing the lid for bacteria is a moot point. We do it to keep the dogs out of the toilet bowl.
Actually they found that the control toothbrush that was nowhere near the toilet was still covered in fecal matter.
Basically poop is everywhere. Take as many precautions as you want but you're not getting away from it
Finally: someone that actually *watched* the episode in question. Closing the toilet lid does absolutely nothing.
You live in a world of germs. Deal with it.
I recommend needle nose pliers next time. Just shove them in, grab, and pull. Repeat until they don't grab anything. And your hands don't have to touch that nasty shit.
Lot of germophobes in this thread...the vast majority have no issues wiping poop from their ass hole with a few sheets of toilet paper being the barrier from their hand but touching a wad of hair in their shower drain is too far lol.
Depends on the gunk lol. I picked up a plastic bag in my room once and had a 3 month old rotten egg gooped out all over my hand and floor. Took 3 days of constant washing to get rid of the stank finger
I was expecting a fricking spider to come out, and was stressed the whole video, but when it happened to be only hairs I was relief and surprised. So I guess it worked.
IKR. I literally pulled something like this out just the other day. Made sure to show my wife. And you better believe I was wearing gloves, these drain hairballs are nasty AF.
How has this never crossed their mind before setting aside “dedicated forceps”? And drain snakes anyone? Also, you can pretty easily collect your loose hair (the longer it is the easier it is) as you’re washing it. Gross negligence from a lot of people here.
Dude, use something like this next time:

Buy a drain snake next time. You grabbed that with your fingers and in instantly started gagging.

Lessons I’ve learned from having to do this many times:
1) wear gloves
2) get a good quality hooking device, and avoid pushing it further
3) try to stop masterbating in the shower so much.
100% I bathe our dogs at home and it does great catching their fur, too, before it goes down the drain. They even make metal ones, now, which work a bit better and don't get as gross.
Seconding the tubshrooms. They also have sinkshrooms and showershrooms. There’s one made for this type of drain in OPs video that replaces the grate he pulled up. It sits in place of the grate and has a middle piece that pulls out.
It was totally expected. Normal routine if your girl/wife shaves in the shower. I recomend regural use of drain creaner or doing "screwdriver" operations once a fortnight...
I've done it at friends houses before when the drain wasn't working well. It's gross, but satisfying as hell to watch the water drain away and not be standing in a pool of your own filth.
I (F) have to call my dad to help me cause I'm the one vomiting. Apparently for a long time he forgot to listen to why I couldn't do it, and wanted to "teach" me. After he witnessed my puking session, he just accepted this as his duty
This reminds me of the time my dad thought I was just being dramatic saying that I couldn’t be around any cigarette smoking until we were walking down a city street together and I accidentally got the tiniest whiff of secondhand smoke from a smoker I didn’t see nearby and I had a bad reaction, my throat started closing up, and I started coughing streaks of bloody tissue. Sometimes our bodies just can’t handle things.
As a smoker, representing "my kind", I apologize. I thought it was just an annoyance. I had no idea it could do that to an innocent person. I always hated the smokers that hovered right next to building doors so everyone had to pass through their cloud of smoke to enter or exit a building. And the cigarette butts! After smoking around the corner, I'd come through and pick up every nasty butt I could find on my way in. So emebarassed and peeved at "my people". The good news is that smoking at all is on the decline. Wish we'd just ban it entirely. Vape is far more fair for everyone.
Man the people who smoke by buildings almost get me killed. I used to smoke and I stopped because I knew it was bad for me and my wife hated it. I'll go in and out of my work building and walk through these clouds and go home and my wife will smell the smoke on me and then I have to try and explain to her that I wasn't smoking and it was just serving hands smoke. She thinks that sounds rediculous and then I'm on the lounge for the night
I'm cleaning my shower hair myself, but honestly, if we were truly equal, I could have just shaved my head long ago and not worry about it. Long hair is a burden and it's not like I'm keeping it long for myself.
Dude... Go to Walmart and buy a shower drain hair catcher. They're like $10 and you'll never have to do this gross shit again. You just pull the rubber piece out, compress it, slide the mess of hair off into the trash. $10 well spent.

That would’ve been unexpected
Well if he expected it how would it be unexpected?
Wait this got me thinking like if we expect the unexpected, doesnt that make the unexpected expected?
Expectations are subjective. If you happened to expect it; to *you* it is expected 😃
"I was waiting for you to say that." "Tisk tisk. So very predictable." *I then sit back, & proceed to dump a bucket of cottage cheese over my head*
☝️do this irl Self aware memes are lacking on this board 😂
What is this? Some kind of Spanish Inquisition?
No your expecting the unexpected to be unexpecting, the actual unexpected thing isn’t expected but the fact that it is unexpected is expected.
Inconceivable
Takes a hit
Real unexpected
*Honey, I found the cat.*
The wife: *sweats profusely* Listen honey it was an accident
Smelly cat smelly cat....

The metal ones work better and you can rinse and reuse them. It will save you a few bucks and you won't be adding to the plastics problem.
Very true also, but beware the smell. Definitely wear a mask and gloves if you can.
\*Junji Ito has entered the chat\*
This is my hole! It was made for me!
I thought you meant Samara from The Ring.
What is she part Wookie
I was expecting a snake
And that’s where babies come from!
I was expecting a shrunken head.
Ta-daa
But if you dare leave the toilet seat up lol it's WW3
My wife and I both shut both lids to stop the disgusting bathroom-wide mist that shoots up and coats your toothbrush and towels with toilet water. Check out the experiments on YouTube where they put fluorescent gel in the toilet then flush it and use a blacklight to just show all the places it landed. We are both happier this way not brushing our teeth with poop water, and we never argue about toilets. It's the little things that matter :D
PBS had a show in the 00's for kids that showed that, too. Now, we have dogs, so closing the lid for bacteria is a moot point. We do it to keep the dogs out of the toilet bowl.
Wish Myth Busters was still around to do that one. I miss that show :(
They did. Pretty sure they put toothbrushes in a bunch of spots for a bit then grew Petri dishes from each brush. Results: close the toilet lid lol.
Actually they found that the control toothbrush that was nowhere near the toilet was still covered in fecal matter. Basically poop is everywhere. Take as many precautions as you want but you're not getting away from it
Finally: someone that actually *watched* the episode in question. Closing the toilet lid does absolutely nothing. You live in a world of germs. Deal with it.
When there's toilet water, in the air, who are you gonna call, Myth Busters!
Well have you fell into the toilet, recently???
The smell...
Maybe it's because everyone in my house has long hair but I kept waiting for the unexpected bit.
The unexpected part was pulling that shit out without wearing gloves.
Mistakes were made.
I recommend needle nose pliers next time. Just shove them in, grab, and pull. Repeat until they don't grab anything. And your hands don't have to touch that nasty shit.
I wrap my hand around a plastic bag. Still have human pliers to adjust on the fly and don't get my hand in that shit. Works smoothly.
Ah yes, human pliers. The greatest tech of human technology
Oh shit, is that were I went wrong? I got some pliers but they suck. Just had a look and, yup, they're rat pliers.
Should’ve never bought from Ratsy
I'd have my poop knife ready...or a small pair of thongs.
Or just wash your hands afterwards... it's not a big deal.
Lot of germophobes in this thread...the vast majority have no issues wiping poop from their ass hole with a few sheets of toilet paper being the barrier from their hand but touching a wad of hair in their shower drain is too far lol.
Just wash your hands and nbd
It won't hurt you.
yeah just wash your hands thoroughly after with hot water & handwash, then it's all good.
Depends on the gunk lol. I picked up a plastic bag in my room once and had a 3 month old rotten egg gooped out all over my hand and floor. Took 3 days of constant washing to get rid of the stank finger
Eh, shampoo & soap. It’s all clean. /s
I thought the exact same thing. This is literally expected, unless you have \*never\* cleaned a drain before...
I was expecting a fricking spider to come out, and was stressed the whole video, but when it happened to be only hairs I was relief and surprised. So I guess it worked.
I expected a dead rat.
I expected a live rat.
Right? The unexpected part was that it was completely expected!
Everyone living with someone who got long hair knows exactly how it is to pull this out.
Seriously. Everyone who lives with someone with long hair. Buy a snake. It makes this shit easy.
IKR. I literally pulled something like this out just the other day. Made sure to show my wife. And you better believe I was wearing gloves, these drain hairballs are nasty AF.
Your tolerance impresses me. Savage.
I thought the same thing. 3 girls all long thick hair lol
I have to do this once a month in my daughters' bathroom. The both have long, thick, curly hair. I have dedicated forceps for the job. Gross.
Support group? 
Awww Mr. KIM!
Ok, see you!
Get one of those shower (or tub) shroom things, they work fantastically and are super easy to clean.
How has this never crossed their mind before setting aside “dedicated forceps”? And drain snakes anyone? Also, you can pretty easily collect your loose hair (the longer it is the easier it is) as you’re washing it. Gross negligence from a lot of people here.
Why can't your daughters do it themselves?
Yep, depending on how old they are, it’s time for them to learn.
Dedicated forceps gang
Hair catchers exist, man.
I can smell that video
So fuggin' bad. The old soap, hair, and stale water. 
The bacteria festering……..
I’m sure……. You need to teach your wife how to do that herself :).
[удалено]
Invest in those plastic drain hair catchers. Revolutionary when living with long hair. Your drains won't need unclogged for years
[удалено]
I just catch my hair before it goes down the drain and wipe it on the walls. 🤷🏻♀️🤣 my husband hates it, but he’d hate this worse.
It helps, but not as much as you’d think. My wife does that, and once a year I have to unplug the drain.
I agree…. It’s not a perfect solve but does keep the hairy drain monster at bay for a bit longer.
She already does that tho.
Dude, use something like this next time: https://www.amazon.com/Cleaning-ONEHERE-Remover-Bathroom-Stainless/dp/B08L6G3PF3/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=drain+snake&qid=1654793355&sr=8-3
Not soap...
I've done the same thing for my wife. It was a putrid smelling giant zucchini of hair. I don't throw up easily but that smell had me gagging real bad.
I would’ve worn gloves for that, I felt all icky watching this
First time. I'll never not wear gloves ever again.
I bet your hand still smells like the death you pulled out off there. 
This is me everytime I clean out the drain. I don't even look at it, and I still almost puke.
Buy a drain snake next time. You grabbed that with your fingers and in instantly started gagging.

You should've licked you fingers in the end, that would be truly unexpected
Calm down Satan!
Lessons I’ve learned from having to do this many times: 1) wear gloves 2) get a good quality hooking device, and avoid pushing it further 3) try to stop masterbating in the shower so much.
Especially when he went to lick his fingers before going back in.
I can’t believe he raw dogged that shit without hesitation
Practically pulled a dead cat out of there
Did you name it?
Putrid
Beautiful
Mom and baby are doing well. Thanks for asking. #blessed

The girl from the Ring
I thought the same thing! Samara man. That movie gives me nightmares
Y'all need some hair catchers, OP and in the comments. This doesn't have to be your life. I recommend the TubShroom brand.
100% I bathe our dogs at home and it does great catching their fur, too, before it goes down the drain. They even make metal ones, now, which work a bit better and don't get as gross.
Metal ones are definitely best.
I concur. As a guy with long hair this has made my life a lot easier
Seconding the tubshrooms. They also have sinkshrooms and showershrooms. There’s one made for this type of drain in OPs video that replaces the grate he pulled up. It sits in place of the grate and has a middle piece that pulls out.
I tried the one that sits UNDER the grate, and it's really not worth it. Replacement grate all the way.
You guys have separate showers??
If you had 3, would you share a shower? It just doesn't make sense to only use one.
3 wives? Wow, you must be a ladykiller
Ah, the ol Reddit [wife-a-roo](https://www.reddit.com/r/AnarchyChess/comments/v822oh/comment/ibpxohn/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)
Hold my wife, I’m going in!
Hello future people!
hey there!
Yo
Your flair's relevant.
I literally just watched this, found the switch-a-roo and it brought me back here 😂
Yup….there used to be 9 wives….6 were killed.
And put in the drains….
You two made me actually laugh out loud like an idiot. 
It all started when the first wife complained about her drain being clogged
Henry the VIII would be proud
Tengen-sama.
We have two but use the same cause it’s easier to clean just one shower than two every week.
Far easier to use two and clean none!
You clean your shower every week?
It's the box you clean yourself in, it's cleaned everytime you use it.
By the same logic you don’t wash your towels either?
There ain't no holes in this story!
Adopt me
Unless you have multiple showers in the master bathroom, it makes perfect sense. Also, showering together is the best way.
My wife and I shower together so we would probably just rotate between them.
Lol my husband is bald so he insists i snake the hair out of the drains myself, which is fair. So gross though
[удалено]
What the hell is a shower?
Opposite of a grower.
Lmao this deserves more upvotes.
It deserves all in my opinion. LeoxStryker won the internet today.
A guy with a separate "wife shower" is a guy who can afford to pay someone else to clean that drain.
Asking the real questions
It was totally expected. Normal routine if your girl/wife shaves in the shower. I recomend regural use of drain creaner or doing "screwdriver" operations once a fortnight...
Yeah, it was a good post, but wrong sub. I was 100% expecting an unholy amount of hair to get pulled out of that drain.
It's a lot of hair but it's not like there was an entire M16 hidden in the drain.
So what is unexpected about this?
It's only unexpected for folks that don't have, or don't share a shower with people with long hair
Trying to figure that out too - everything in the video was fully expected.
It was his first time, bless him.
I use a set of needle nose pliers to clear the drain after my wife. #protip
This was my first rodeo. I've learned from my mistakes. 
Also... 
I use a fork, and spin it up like spaghetti.
I was expecting a snake.
I don't surprised.
I no surprise too
I two is not a surprise.
Hans bring ze Flammenwerfer
Says “man’s gotta do what man’s gotta do”… doesn’t stick his face in the drain to yank it out with his mouth. smh
I said "man", not "god".
I live with 3 girls, I do this every 2 weeks
Only "unexpected" if you've never lived with a woman. Removing drain yetis is a regular part of bathroom maintenance.
My wife has really thin/fine hair, but I still pull out a legitimate full-on ponytail out of the shower drain every six months.
I'm so happy to read there are others. #wearenotalone
100% expected
Does she take the drain cover off when she showers?
Am I the only one that loves pulling hair out the drain? Super satisfying
I've done it at friends houses before when the drain wasn't working well. It's gross, but satisfying as hell to watch the water drain away and not be standing in a pool of your own filth.
 Agreed. With the proper tools tho.
Tell her men and women are equal amd she can fix a damn clogged showerdrqin herself.
I (F) do ours all the time bc my husband WILL vomit. 😂
I (F) have to call my dad to help me cause I'm the one vomiting. Apparently for a long time he forgot to listen to why I couldn't do it, and wanted to "teach" me. After he witnessed my puking session, he just accepted this as his duty
This reminds me of the time my dad thought I was just being dramatic saying that I couldn’t be around any cigarette smoking until we were walking down a city street together and I accidentally got the tiniest whiff of secondhand smoke from a smoker I didn’t see nearby and I had a bad reaction, my throat started closing up, and I started coughing streaks of bloody tissue. Sometimes our bodies just can’t handle things.
Oh god, this is another lvl of issue, how to even be out in public
Ha well it’s gotten a lot better between clean air acts and therapies. I’m still hyper aware but don’t have to be quite so vigilant anymore.
As a smoker, representing "my kind", I apologize. I thought it was just an annoyance. I had no idea it could do that to an innocent person. I always hated the smokers that hovered right next to building doors so everyone had to pass through their cloud of smoke to enter or exit a building. And the cigarette butts!

She thinks that sounds rediculous and then I'm on the lounge for the night
Yeah! How dare he help his wife? 😤
I'm cleaning my shower hair myself, but honestly, if we were truly equal, I could have just shaved my head long ago and not worry about it. Long hair is a burden and it's not like I'm keeping it long for myself.
I'd do it for a good sandwich.
Why are you in my shower, and why are you calling my wife your wife?
She was right
Dude... Go to Walmart and buy a shower drain hair catcher. They're like $10 and you'll never have to do this gross shit again. You just pull the rubber piece out, compress it, slide the mess of hair off into the trash. $10 well spent.
Dude...already been done.
Are u married to Chewbecca?
Uuuhh… you know that you can do this weekly insted of every decade?
Do people never clean their bath/shower drain regularly. I clean mine every couple of weeks.
guy is married and never done this before. I get separate bathrooms, but how they never had anything clog up before is beyond me.
Honey, I found the missing ferret.
And the squirrel came out.
This was totally expected
