Toilet not flushing properly? Perhaps you've got FATBERG in the sewers.
That's what happened when residents in an apartment building in London noticed that they couldn't flush their toilets: a giant 15-ton blob of congealed fat and baby wipes had lodged in a sewer drain. That's enough "wrongly flushed festering food fat mixed with wet wipes" to fill a double-decker bus!
It'll take the utility company Thames Water six months to remove Fatberg, which you can see in a video clip below:

A friend of mine does sewer work for a living, people flush everything and pour grease down the drain constantly! Then they complain when their toilet or sink gets clogged up all the time and "Why didn't you fix it right the last time?"
I feel bad for municipalities that have to deal with garbage that gets out down the drains. Seems like a need for PSAs about what not to send swirling.
All told, it was a bad day.
