The only thing left that I truly fear is death... which, as you might imagine, is quite predicament  lol

All the obvious stuff pretty much ranks at the top of the list: harm or threats coming to my family, death, losing my home, Jimmy Saville…

Not going to say say things like health, family etc because that is given
Just little casual things like Spiders i rly hate them and fear them.
Also Snakes, i dont actually fear them, i just fear Venomous snakes that can paralyze you and eat you alive,

Aliens from Uranus !!!

(Sorry guys, I've had a few drinks tonight)

Apart from something happening to my wife or kids it's water. (yes it is a chemical change in your body when you get kids, more so in women than men. The anxiety can sometimes be overwhelming as well as the fear of having passed genetic 'problems' on to your kids)

Not the fear of drowning, plumbing problems. Incidentally we have one right now again. (kitchen sink firmly blocked, over 30-40 feet down the pipe, auger so far unsuccessful) I'm just taking a break atm to get some food while my wife is trying not to panic :/ She doesn't handle these home emergencies well. Her biggest fear is having to have people come into the house (to fix things / deliver things).

So I've tried plunging until the water started coming up out the dishwasher :/ Ran out to get a 25ft drain snake, not long enough. Now trying with a 50ft drain snake (ran back to the store) which gets firmly stuck on a corner I assume. Trying again in a bit.

I guess my actual biggest fear is my wife not surviving a panic attack. (She had one at her mom's house with the ambulance having to come) And when she had Covid was the worst, listening at night if she was still breathing. Tears me up thinking about it.


As for 'mundane' things, I have mild claustrophobia so the idea of spelunking / crawling into tight tunnels I'll leave that to VR. No way irl. 

Cancer, due to my OCD which fixates on a fear of disease, and in 2019 that fear came true when I developed a malignant nerve sheath tumor.

As of this April, I am 5 years cancer free; here's hoping it is over for good.

Fear itself.

Had a similar kitchen plumbing problem earlier this year.

Take the drain snake out of the rotator and shove the smaller end down the drain pipe. It will go around the corner easier and will punch a hole through the clog easier. My clog was just prior to the corner and stretched into the corner. I think I pushed some of the clog into the corner making it a bit worse initially as I tried to twist and pull it out.

After some pushing a twisting, I poked a hole through the clog. Did that over and over, stopping to try some water down the drain and it kept getting a bit better, until it didn't anymore, and could tell it was still clogged some. Ended up getting the garden hose and nozzle and stuck it down the kitchen sink, clogged the gaps with rags, then opened the nozzle. Only took maybe 10-15 seconds and the pressure let loose and the clog was gone.

If you can't use a hose or put pressure on the pipe (air pressure can work too), maybe try switching back to the regular auger end and try to twist and pull out what's left. Once you've punched some holes and loosened the clog up it should be easier to auger and remove.

Allah

I finally got all 50 ft of 1/2" steel drain snake in, twisting, pulling, pushing. And it slowly started going. It is/was at least 40 ft from the access under the sink. While moving it up and down you can hear it in the ceiling the floor below :/

There's a hole it the clog now, so tried with boiling water, dish soap, drain cleaner to dissolve more to get it going. It must all be sitting in a large horizontal section, then bunching up at the corner. Who ever build this house made plenty mistakes. 

I tried pressure first, plugging all the holes and plunging. That's when I apparently overpowered the drain from the dishwasher and all the water came up in there then started pouring out on the floor doh. So a hose likely won't work either.

We had the worst when a plumber used his high pressure hose for the outside connection (plugged 3 times since we moved in, third time we had a contractor and the county rebuild our connection to the street sewer). All the shit literally hit the fan, the entire room had to be decontaminated. (Flooded too, floors were just done, not long after we moved in) Lucky this is just kitchen stuff, probably grease build up over the years. But 3rd time now, annoying.


Anyway I'll see in the morning how it runs, probably need to snake it some more.
