Title: Quick Poll
Post by: UGetPaid on May 14, 2019, 08:23:15 am
Show of hands. How many people here: (1) know what a garbage disposal is/does; or (2) if they flipped an electrical switch and heard the disposal in the sink running would recognize it as such?


 :thumbsup: if you know how to use it
 :bad: if the sound of it would scare you

(1) YES
(2) YES
- Yes, I know how to use it
- No. The sound doesn't scare me

It's amazing the people we elect into office are as clueless as they are... really pathetic.

When I was a kid, probably about 10 years old, my poor father was sweating up a storm under our kitchen sink working on our broken garbage disposal. 

If that wasn't bad enough, it was my brother's wedding day and the ceremony was scheduled to begin an hour after all this mess.  Somehow, things all worked out just fine. 

Yes, I know what a garbage disposal is and how to use it.  :thumbsup:

They do, however, scare me.   :bad: That's probably due in part from this otherwise traumatic experience.   :o

Yes, I know how to use one.  No the sound doesn't scare me.  I don't have one but would love to, especially since there are no young children in my house.  We compost most of our kitchen scrapes but I would still like to have one.

Yes, I know how to use a garbage disposal and yes, the sound always scares me even though I know what it is. I am always fearful of getting my hand stuck in one for no reason at all.

The sound only scares me when I accidentally flip the disposal switch instead of the light switch in the middle of the night.  :silly:

Yes to both questions as well. I use my Disposal everyday and it does not scare me either. I Love using my Disposal because it gets rid of all the stinky food where I will not have to put it in my Garbage Can and smell all of  those awful odors.

 :thumbsup: Yes to both, I know what it is and would recognize the sound.

However, I don't understand why they're a thing in the first place. Grinding up solids to wash down the drain is a terrible idea plumbingwise.
If they're just meant to grind up things that already accidentally went down the drain, okay. But I've seen people scrape their dinner plates off into the sink and flip the switch?? I don't get it.

Yes to both. I have one and use it almost everyday. When we had our house built I was sure that I wanted one in my kitchen.

What amazes me is that people don't think about running water while the garbage disposal is running. You can ruin it if you don't and depending on what model you have getting it fixed could be expensive.

Yes, yes and no. But it would scare my grand daughter. She is an infant and loud noises are not happy sounds to her. I have personally never had a garbage disposal myself. I just don't think I would have a use for one. We have a horse and a goat that eat most of our produce scraps.

Yes, know what is it and how to use it; does not scare me unless it sounds like it is not working properly; they I am concern if we will need a plumber; which can cost over the top!
