effective

last tuesday, i got so fed up cleaning after a neighbor and posted a 2018 video of the stinky overflow from their drainage.

good thing videos don't capture odors.  the smell is disgusting  ->  the kind that makes you want to puke.

the drainage was not there before.  but then the neighbor's sink kept on getting clogged and in spite of repeated fixes the problem kept on recurring so the 'solution' they applied was to have this drainage, right beside their house, outside their property, right on the alley where other residents pass.

their kitchen waste flows there including rice, leftovers and oil.  you can even determine what meal they had based on the bits and pieces that float from the drainage.

thursday i posted a more recent clip, taken just the day before.

guess what, today, sunday, the neighbor had someone come over to have the drainage fixed*! the hole in the wall was cemented.  the drainage was cleaned.  the broken cover was remedied.
W...  O...  W...  wow!
i've raised it to them so many times before!  all were for naught.  i post two videos and they act on it within a week!  i could have avoided wasting my time by just posting a video right away! 🤦‍♀️

you really have to talk to people in a language that they understand.  it's unfortunate that for these people, that language is to see their irresponsible ways exposed in social media.

shame no shame.

*  i dunno whether it will turn out to be a real fix.  it's the stuff the neighbor throws that clogs the drain and causes the stinky overflow.  they can have the cover fixed but if they do not fix their ways the problem would recur.  we'll see.
