I'm always amused that she doesn't realize that the person calling her a man thought he was talking to an MTF individual. That was a great moment of the insult sailing over her lumpen head.
Dropped the quote, but she talked about her dentist being on the "wrong side of the tracks" and mentioned the "bodega where the stabbings happen all the time." Her casual racism and classism are some of my favorite things about this thread.
This has been bugging me, shouldn't apartment maintenance take care of things like that? Are there special rules for sped homes? Or did she not want her landlord to find out she clogged the shower with her own filth.
I think it's the latter. Last time we heard about maintenance coming over, she complained about the worker calling her out for spilled cat litter. She's probably now afraid of getting called out or written up for issues in her apartment, and she's probably right to be. We only ever see small glimpses of her apartment, but what we see always looks like it's cluttered and messy.
(Sadly I've got too much experience in this arena. I have absurdly thick hair and I shed more than my cat.
I always grumble that everyone in this house sheds way too much. I use a carpet brush to clean the area rugs before I even attempt to vacuum them. Getting the layer of loose hair off the top helps a lot and cuts down on vacuum cleaner maintenance. The carpet brushes are very cheap and very effective. I also use them on the cat's favorite sleeping surfaces (her perch, her bed, her preferred chairs, and no, she's spoiled, why do you ask?), which keeps the house less hairy in general. The other major tip is to put throws on favored feline napping spots, because it's a lot easier to shake out a throw and throw it in the wash than it is to remove what appears to be an entire feline's worth of hair from the back of your couch.
There is a household tips and tricks thread here that is great for all of this stuff-- and, when I went over to grab the link, I see that @Aunt Carol has already posted her hair tie tip over there.
Staph, there are multiple simple cleaning systems for people with all kinds of physical and intellectual impairment easily searchable on the net.
There really are great resources out there. They're free and a google search away. You can find general tips, tips for renters, tips that account for physical or intellectual limitations, support groups to cheer you on or hold you accountable, pretty much anything you can think of.
Speaking of pipes: hasn't she actually lusted over Dennis Nilsen before? Maybe she's been asking his ghost for pipe-management tips, which would explain a lot.
edit: here. Not exactly outright lust, but she's aware of him (as much as she's ever aware of anything).
