For a long time at our house we have had a blockage in the shower drain. It's something we had essentially learned to live with. We kept a plunger nearby and used it every time, about sixty seconds into every shower. We wouldn't have done so, but we could not find the blockage anywhere in the pipes - it was all clear. That is, right up until the last possible point where it could be blocked.
In a determined, last-ditch exploration, we have now found the remains of a plant lodged in the pipe, just out of view (and reach) right at the end where it joins the larger drain outside. It's in such an awkward position that it can't quite be completely removed by hand. We need some kind of tool like a sturdy 20-30 centimetre hook to dig it all out. For the moment we have dislodged enough that we can put the plunger away.

PS - And since the plant is dead anyway, it's unlikely to grow back.
PPS - I've just realised how this post is made a bit more gruesome by its title.
