Got a screw loose

By stupid^2 - 04/10/2021 20:00

Today, I did something you never ever should do. I removed the screw in the shower drain. What I didn't know was that it's impossible to know if the shower will leak afterwards. I just wanted to properly clean the drain. FML

Plumbed out

Today, I tried to fix a leaking pipe under the sink. I watched a YouTube tutorial and was feeling confident that I could get the job done. Two hours later, half of the kitchen was practically flooded because I forgot to cut the water off, and scrambled to actually find the main valve, then I had to call an emergency plumber, who showed up, laughed, and fixed it in five minutes.

Did I miss something? Was this advice from the movie "Gremlins?"

I’m so confused at this. Who said you couldn’t unscrew the drain cover to clean it out? And what do you mean that it is leaking? The drain cover shouldn’t leak since it’s just a cover? Unless I’m misunderstanding what part of the drain you’re talking about…
