"Sewage Overflowed from Toilet"... "Shocking" Reason Revealed

Let's take a look at the next story.

This is also absurd.

The headline says, "40kg of rice found in an apartment sewage pipe."

A sewage pipe in an apartment building became blocked.

As a result, sewage backed up into low-floor units, and it turns out that what blocked the sewage pipe was 40kg of rice.

Yesterday, a photo of an apartment notice was posted on social media along with a message asking, "I heard 40kg of rice was found in the sewage pipe, why would someone do this?"

Let's take a closer look at the notice.

It states that on the 21st, sewage backed up through the toilets of low-floor units in the apartment, causing sewage to overflow into the bathrooms of some households.

The apartment management explained that they hired a cleaning company to flush the pipes, and during the work, they discovered that a staggering 40kg of rice had blocked the pipe, causing the sewage to back up into the lower-floor units.

They added that the costs for recovery and pipe cleaning from such incidents ultimately fall on the joint management fees, and urged residents to flush only waste and toilet paper down the toilets, while properly disposing of items like rice, wet wipes, and food waste using standard garbage bags.

Netizens reacted with various comments such as, "The rice itself is surprising, but the amount of 40kg is even more shocking," and "Shouldn't they track this down to the end and bill the person responsible for the cleaning costs?"
