Perhaps moving to the top of the list over garbage bananas, blow drying your grundle, flossing your teeth with hair, biting your toenails off...
Woohoo! I'm two of the top four!
Counsel:

I don't wish to disappoint you, but the 5AF mutant behavior rankings place both your idiosyncrasies at the bottom of the current rankings. Congratulations remain in order, though perhaps relatively muted.

1. Shītting down your leg in the shower like a gd savage and proceeding to stop your turds down the drain in bare feet
2. Flossing your teeth with you hair
3. Biting your toenails off
4. Garbage banana consumption
5. Taint blow drying

In case anyone was wondering, my sewer line backed up again. This time it populated my laundry room with toilet paper and whatever mac shoves down the shower.

This is your own fault. Stop deucing in your toilet; start making poop wine the old fashioned way and stomp stomp stomp

Has to be new tp. Plumber should be here shortly but my completely uneducated guess is the roots removed on Monday were helping to support the sewer pipe out of the house which had now collapsed.

As someone who has also experienced sewer-line problems, I feel your pain, which is going to be $erious, $ustained, and $ignificant.

All clear for now. Based on what this dude said given his however many years of experience because he started doing this as a teenager because his family owns the company blah blah blah, the pipe coming out of our house is plastic, which is far less likely to crack than terra-cotta, which is what the township used for the main line. His guess is that the township owned line busted and is the root (get it!) cause of the issues and they should be the ones ponying up to have the line replaced.

So now I have to schedule a camera and take it from there.

Came home to find water damage to the ceiling and wall in my master bedroom, and this in the attic:

Definitely wasn't busted before, and we haven't had any hail storms or anything, so I have no idea how the hell this happened. Now I get to wait for an adjuster to come out.

In the meantime, has anyone ever worked with either ServiceMaster or ServPro for roof tarping? I'm not sure if my policy even covers the service, but I'm wondering what the cost is going to be (not that I won't be paying it if I'm not covered).

Edit: I'm apparently covered, so I can have the roof tarp'd at no cost.

My working theory is a significant wind gust that blew a squirrel out of my chestnut tree directly into the roof. It’s the only logical explanation at this point.

so putting your own hair in your mouth is worse than putting your toes in your mouth, and both are worse than eating garbage?

this is a bad take, imo
