Description
They come into our homes. They see us in our most fragile moments. Plumbers are a fixture in our lives. When a toilet clogs, a faucet leaks, or a sewer line plugs, we call those unsung heroes, desperately seeking help. They scoop out our poop and pull underwear, toothbrushes and cotton balls out of our toilets, doing whatever it takes to get the job done.
On a late Wednesday evening, after my toilet clogged, I asked our plumber to share his top five “greatest hits.” The stories were so hilarious, I had to share them with the world. The Poop Diaries features true stories told by my plumber, and many other plumbers, about the most memorable service jobs they have worked on and most unique people they have helped. Whether it’s nudity, rats, fake vaginas, dildos, snakes, weapons and so much more, these plumbers have seen and smelled it all.

As someone who works part time in the plumbing field myself, I found this book quite interesting as it the plumbers do detail some of the work they’re doing, as well as the comical or just plain bizarre things that happen on those jobs. It’s obvious the people the author interviewed are based in Canada as here in the UK plumbers don’t do most of the jobs discussed, rather people like dyno-rod would be called, but I still enjoyed reading it even though I couldn’t relate to most of it. It did make me appreciate more how normal my customers are in comparison though

Ok, the title caught my eye. But this is a bizarre read filled with stories from various plumbers, including a woman plumber about their strangest encounters. There are stories about other things besides the title subject thankfully though there is still a grossout factor. It’s just amazing the things (and people) they run into on the job. A weird but humorous read. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing this book in exchange for an honest review.
I always enjoy reading book that show the behind-the-scenes of jobs that not everyone would want to do. Plumbing takes a certain type of person to be able to handle not only the sights and smells but also the strange variety of people they come across. Everyone needs a plumber a time or two (or more) in their lives and this book has a good variety of stories. Some humorous and some sad but all have a common thread of indoor plumbing that we all take for granted.
