Hot take: I thought those cheap plastic drain snakes were a total scam
Honestly, my bathroom sink was clogged for like three weeks and I was about to call a plumber. Tbh, I grabbed a $5 plastic zip-it snake from the hardware store as a last try. I pushed it down the drain, felt it hook something, and pulled up a huge hairball. Ngl, I was shocked it actually worked. Has anyone else had a win with one of those little plastic things, or did I just get lucky?
