Wasn't sure where else to post this, but a couple weeks ago I bitched about my fucked up home builder. We just got back from a week away, and our lift station wasn't working. The water was basically almost topped out, so there wasn't much I could do and had to call a plumber.

Turns out, someone threw a fucking vape pen in it, and the pump I guess got caught on it. Luckily it didn't burn it out or break the fucking thing, cause that's like $4k.

Like, what kind of fucking asshole throws a vape pen in there? There's no way that thing is ever going to somehow end up in the sewer. It's just a ticking time bomb to destroy the pump at some point.

When our house was built, apparently some of the workers flushed their work gloves (maybe wiped their ass with it?) and it took a while to actually clog our guest toilet (people don't really take dumps in there I guess, thank you guests!) and it clogged about 3 years after the house was built. Completely resisted normal auger, they had to bring in some harley-powered auger to break it. They saw it was clogged work gloves in the pipe on the pipe camera.

Something fucking wrong with people.

They do it on purpose. They are illegals or foreign born temporary workers that come here and build these large houses that look like mansions to them. They put shit in the walls and leave shit under the sod because it is their tiny way of saying "fuck you" to rich people. It is the same reason they take no pride in their work even when some of it is truly great.

Would explain a lot. The soil here is basically sand, and for the first 3 years nails and shit would constantly percolate their way up and we'd find them all over the yard (mostly the dogs would find them and run around with them). Hundreds of nails. When I put in our sprinkler system, I was constantly hitting shit like PEX, lumber, nails, siding...basically anything you'd build a house with.

I'm like, holy shit, there's even dumpsters on site when they build these houses, but these fuckers are just throwing shit all over the place.

The vape pen was very confusing though, because I'm assuming an actual licensed plumber had to install the lift station (and likely electrician). You think they wouldn't be as big a giant piece of shit, but I guess not.

I have no doubt that it was probably an accident by one of those fucktards that got the vape pen stuck in the first place; what I am certain of is that the scummy shithead tried for about 1 second to retrieve it before just leaving because the cost of a replacement isn't nearly as bad as having to tell his boss that they need to fish it out and may take some disassembly/reassembly that costs actual time and money.
