Though I've learned that upper story apartments are the way to go plumbing wise, as it's the ground floor units that everything backs up into.
That's pretty accurate--I had a major hair clog in my shower pipes that caused the water from my shower to come out of my downstairs neighbor's ceiling light fixture. I had noticed the shower was draining slowly, so I used a lot of Liquid Plummer to speed it up, but I guess it wasn't enough to unclog it completely. I first knew about the problem when she started banging on my door while I was taking a shower--I apologized profusely, and got maintenance over to snake the pipe ASAP.

Except when your plumbing goes through the downstairs neighbor's apartment and said neighbor leaves for Florida for a week and turns their heat off when it's subzero outside. Guaranteed frozen pipes.

Very wise. My first apartment was a basement apartment, and when someone upstairs threw grease down their drain, it didn't back into their sink, it backed into mine.
Stupid plumbing. Ah, for the good ol' days of chamber pots....
which is vastly inferior because of its lowflowness.
low flows suck. or don't as the case may be. I had a high flow in my old apartment and my mother wanted to hire a plumber to come in and take the high flow toilet and replace it with her crappy low flow. Remember that ep of King of the Hill?
I've read about contractors scouring building demolition sites for high flow toilets. They're apparently worth their weight in gold in the plumbing business.
Hugs my high-flow toilet.
No, wait. That didn't come out right.
Yeah, Sarameg...Fayette Street is better than Hickey or Boys' Village. Jeez, the stuff I know. Candlelit restaurants, zero. Penal institutions, otoh...Ask me how.
(Well, actually, y'all don't have to.)
I need a new toilet in my master bathroom. I'm afraid of the cost and the low-flowiness.
