Double, double, toil and trouble

Fire burn and cauldron bubble.

I just used Drano for the first time.  Bathtub drain is clogged, because I have two heads' worth of hair.  So I pour in my heaping teaspoon of light green powder, mildly amused at all the emphasized, capitalized words in the instructions, and add a cup of cold water (yes, it was after "RECAP THE BOTTLE").  Nothing to

Whuh? There's instructions? Aren't you just supposed to pour in the whole bottle and like, leave it? Or, sometimes, I use a plunger. But only after I've had about five beers.

Hey, aren't you supposed to be mowing the lawn?
*sniggers, glad not to be looking after the 'rentals house while they're in freakin' China*

Yeah, turns out, there's instructions. I'm not genetically, temperamentally, or vocationally inclined to read them, but when I couldn't get the lid off, I discovered that there are four--count 'em, four--steps to remove the lid. I followed #2.

And "Excellent value! Will flush 16 drains!" Excuse me, but if you have 16 drains that need unclogging? There's something wrong with you that Drano isn't going to fix.

Will be mowing the lawn when it needs it and not a moment sooner. Because, believe it or not, and apparently the 'rents don't (and why have I started quoting Seth Cohen eight months after I've stopped watching The O.C.?), I am able to discern that critical time. I've only been mowing the lawn for twelve freaking years.
