Shampoo & conditioner, please

You know your bathroom drain needs cleaning when the thing hiding there starts to demand its own shampoo and conditioner.

That dirty deed was done this morning. I swear I heard a little voice saying I was overreacting when I flushed the thing found down the toilet.

And just so you know, that thing didn't look anything remotely similar to the little one on the right, who once upon a time also was in need of schampoo and conditioner.
