TMI Thursday: Clearing the pipes.

The house I grew up in used to have this huge tree in the front yard and it's roots used to cause a lot of problems. It lifted the sidewalk up to the house and in front of the house, it would grow into our drain pipes, I used to hit the roots above the ground with the lawn mower and I'm pretty sure I tripped over them before.
It got so bad we had it removed. We used to have to hire a plumbing service to come and snake out the drain pipes because some of our pipes wouldn't drain.

One morning I wake up and I head downstairs to get breakfast. I used to stay up late so breakfast was actually Lunch/Dinner time. My mother says "Your father needs to speak to you" with this half smile, half serious look on her face. I walk up to my father and he says "You need to go out front, you gotta pick up those balloons out there." "Balloons?! What?!" I say. "Yes your balloons, go pick them up".

That morning my parents had the plumbing service come out and snake the pipes, they pulled out of course, some roots but also a pair of womens underwear and like 3 condoms. My dad left them out front in the grass for me to pick up. I have no idea who flushed the undies but that was gross, WTF who does that?!
