Bathroom sink overflow drains are a special kind of nasty, especially when the people who lived in the house before you jammed paper towels inside the overflow holes and they have been actively growing mold for at least six years.
Oh, and the motherfucker who installed the sink didn’t know how toggle bolts worked, so he tried to secure it to the wall with screw-in drywall anchors that were maybe rated for 15-20 pounds. When that didn’t work (and he stripped out one of the anchors), he apparently moved on to construction adhesive and just decided to glue the fucking sink to the (painted, over wallpaper) bathroom wall. The fun things you get to unravel while just trying to change out a faucet that was held together with JB Weld…
I was going to say, sink drains are probably the nastiest places to touch
