    realistically your only hurting the person that lives there next. Even when it eventually becomes too big a problem to ignore that’ll prompt the landlord to hastily cover it up and sell it. And you are also hurting the city pipes as well which costs everyone money.

    The landlord will then have to have the drains cleared and hear exactly what they found blocking it. This will improve your relationship with your landlord and they will feel happy that you decided to take revengeful steps against them which don’t really serve any purpose and are just a waste of resources. No way are they going to somehow claim back those costs from you

        Depends on the country. In Australia, the deposit is held by the government and the landlord needs to apply to get it, which includes showing receipts for any work they had to do. It goes back to the tenant by default. The system in the USA (where the landlord holds the deposit) doesn’t make a lot of sense as they aren’t really incentivized to return it to the tenant.

      If it’s not that much: soak it in a paper towel and throw that away. For frying: put it back in the bottle and throw that away if the oil is spend.

      Civilized countries have collection stations for oil often at the same place you go for recycling.

      If it’s something like bacon / beef grease just let it congeal in the pan then scrape it out into the garbage can.

      Tell the US government about it. Then they will bring you democracy and liberate you from the oppressive oil. /j

      Yeah, I get that people feel like they have so little control over their lives that they feel the need to generally be passive aggressive assholes to people they deem unworthy, but this is just an overall dick move. Having working public/municipal plumbing is a good thing.

        Yeah. If it only impacted your landlord that would be one thing, but you’re potentially ruining the entire municipal plumbing system.

    It will also make life just a smidge harder for every tenant after you. But if it helps you feel better, fuck 'em.

    Like a kid’s temper tantrum, vandalism won’t improve society whatsoever. Fight the rich with wit, wisdom, and relentless ridicule.

    Additional tip: If you’re a traditional artist, your acrylic and oil paint should be even more effective :D

      Don’t worry by the way; I know that this is a really bad idea. Source: Every art classroom I’ve been in has had at least one clogged sink at all times.
