Call me a wacky lefto or whatever, but I'm beginning to wonder if household plumbing wasn't designed partly with an eye towards being maximally unpleasant so as to ensure that the middle class would be terrified of falling down into the blue-collar class where they'd have to deal with this stuff regularly.

I mean, maybe it wouldn't be super-easy, but it really feels like there's got to be a way to make it more user-friendly to service and they just didn't even try. Like, 'Why bother when the menials can take care of it?' 🧐
