Abby Ross

"Disgusting, hilarious, and scary . . . "—Chicago Tribune 
 
 
 
"Stories from plumbers that will make you smile, giggle, and laugh out loud."—Arizona News Independent 
 
 
 
They come into our homes. They see us in our most fragile moments. Plumbers are a fixture in our lives. When a toilet clogs, a faucet leaks, or a sewer line plugs, we call those unsung heroes, desperately seeking help. They scoop out our poop and pull underwear, toothbrushes and cotton balls out of our toilets, doing whatever it takes to get the job done. 
 
 
 
On a late Wednesday evening, after my toilet clogged, I asked our plumber to share his top five "greatest hits." The stories were so hilarious, I had to share them with the world. The Poop Diaries features true stories told by my plumber, and many other plumbers, about the most memorable service jobs they have worked on and most unique people they have helped. Whether it's nudity, rats, fake vaginas, dildos, snakes, weapons, and so much more, these plumbers have seen and smelled it all.
