      Yeah, I get that people feel like they have so little control over their lives that they feel the need to generally be passive aggressive assholes to people they deem unworthy, but this is just an overall dick move. Having working public/municipal plumbing is a good thing.

        Yeah. If it only impacted your landlord that would be one thing, but you’re potentially ruining the entire municipal plumbing system.

      Bacon grease? Just go to the local Mexican grocery store and get a tub of lard, liquefy it in a large stock pot and hit the pipes in the bathrooms as well. Flush some tampons and paper towel down the toilet behind them. You want to do it right.

        Make sure they’re not your own tampons, don’t want them tracking your DNA pregnancy status…

    realistically your only hurting the person that lives there next. Even when it eventually becomes too big a problem to ignore that’ll prompt the landlord to hastily cover it up and sell it. And you are also hurting the city pipes as well which costs everyone money.

    Make sure to pour sulfuric acid down the drain right before he shows up. 🤔

      If it’s something like bacon / beef grease just let it congeal in the pan then scrape it out into the garbage can.

      Pour it into a bottle and throw it in the trash

      Tell the US government about it. Then they will bring you democracy and liberate you from the oppressive oil. /j

      Civilized countries have collection stations for oil often at the same place you go for recycling.

      If you don’t know someone that burns old oil put it in an old container and throw it away in the trash.

        Rather than throwing it away, you may have free options for recycling nearby, too. My county has a pretty robust program for residents available with regular recycling and hazardous waste like oil or paint in certain locations. There’s sometimes restrictions and sorting required from customers, but it’s usually pretty straight forward if you look it up

            Ah, maybe try searching household hazardous waste recycling specifically. It’s possible the auto stores might accept all used oil products too, though. At least when I worked in the hazardous waste field for my county program, I mixed all the oil products, and they used it to heat the shops over the winter. We had a separate company that picked up stuff we couldn’t process, and my job was mostly sorting and combining what I could first. Afaik a lot of auto companies are doing the same hazardous waste bulk pick up.

      If it’s not that much: soak it in a paper towel and throw that away. For frying: put it back in the bottle and throw that away if the oil is spend.

      Of course you are. But people who ruin other people’s property already don’t give two shits about others.

        Yeah this causes “fatbergs” which wreak havoc on city pipes. I get frustrated when I see memes like this condoning willful property damage bc not only is it stupid and it hurts other people besides the landlord, but even if the landlord has to shoulder costly repairs for plumbing inside their unit, they’re definitely going to pass those costs on to their tenants (either immediately or over time) so this could also contribute to rent hikes.

      Not if the substance is a liquid at room temperature.

      Pouring hot bacon grease down the drain will do that, because the bacon grease is only a liquid when it’s hot.

      Something like olive oil isn’t going to clog pipes.

        Why waste the oil? Turn it into gravy, or mayonnaise, or store it to sell to a recycling center that will turn it into biofuel.

          Or strain it and if you have a diesel use it

          Putting used oil into food when it’s not even good enough for frying anymore doesn’t seem like a recipe for success.
          Recycling is fair enough.

            It really depends on what it was used for. I almost always turn bacon grease into gravy or mayo, for oil/butter from cooking meat dishes I make pan sauces, but for frying oil I recycle.
