I fought the plumbing


and (100 buckets of water &
two bottles of Draino later)
the plumbing won.

    Draino doesn't work. The plumbing just laughs in Draino's face. Otoh, the long grabby thing handles most drainage situations. Try the long grabby thing.
    Good luck.

    I have dealt with serious cloggage before, but never "spitting" (whereby the tub fills of its own accord and seems to have had an unfortunate run-in with the garbage disposal). In fact, my upstairs neighbor just had a nice, long, hot shower and I was scooping buckets of water from my tub. I know this probably falls under the category of "TMI" (too much information) but there you go--welome to this month's reason why I'm moving.

    ...and, while I would have liked to play handywoman with the snakey thing, I have passed this situation (mind-of-it's-own-tub-ala-ghostbusters) on to my landlord, because I do not deal with rivers of slime. Thanks for the advice!

    Ah, well, in that case, then please allow me amend my previous comment. What I meant to say was, that if you should ever find yourself in a plumbing maintenance situation where you think draino might be the solution, you might consider giving the long grabby thing a try instead.
    For reporting a major plumbing problem to the landlord, I'm thinking maybe telephone. bwdik :-)
