Every parent knows that their duties never truly end, no matter how old or independent their children become. Shawn Weiss, a doting father to his teenage daughter, can certainly attest to this fact.
As a content creator on the popular platform TikTok, he goes by the username @ShawnWeiss8. Recently, he shared an experience of dealing with a problem in his daughter’s bathroom that left viewers around the world shocked and disgusted.
The video in question features Shawn investigating his daughter’s bathtub, which had been draining rather slowly. He decided to document his investigation and share it with the world. Little did he know, his TikTok video would go viral, garnering millions of views, hundreds of thousands of likes, and over 6,600 comments. The accompanying caption read, “I can’t believe she let it get this bad!”
On-video text provided further context: “My daughter said her tub was draining slowly, so I decided to check it out.” And so, Shawn embarked on a journey that would leave countless viewers feeling queasy.
The video shows Shawn reaching into the drain to remove the culprit behind the blockage. As he tugs at it, it becomes apparent that the obstruction is his daughter’s hair, which had amassed over time to create a monstrous clump. The repulsive discovery left viewers around the world squirming in their seats.
Unaware of the hairy situation brewing in her bathroom, Shawn’s daughter has since learned a valuable lesson about paying closer attention to her surroundings.
The viral video attracted comments from individuals around the globe, expressing reactions that ranged from amazement to horror.
Many couldn’t believe the amount of hair clogging the drain, with some jokingly asking if she had scalped someone or had an entire weave down there.
Others were reminded of the chilling horror movie, The Ring, with comments like, “The girl from The Ring is down there,” and “She got a whole Ring girl.”
One person couldn’t help but comment on Shawn’s lack of gloves while handling the hairball, to which he responded, “I really do need to have my brain examined after grabbing that crap with my bare hand! Two hours and six cans of tomato juice to get the stink off my hand!”
Some individuals were grateful they didn’t have to deal with such a predicament, with one person saying, “I will never take for granted how easy I can wash my hair and let water drain out of my house at the same time.”
Many viewed this as an opportunity for parents to impart important lessons on hygiene to their children, urging them to teach their kids not to let hair accumulate in drains.
As one commenter put it, “Parents, learn from this and stop letting your kids go through life with hair in the drain! Do not be afraid to teach them about good hygiene now because they will thank you later. Your future partner might thank me later for telling all of my friends and family members to always check the tub after someone takes a shower.”
Shawn Weiss’s viral TikTok video serves as a cautionary tale for parents and children alike. It emphasizes the importance of paying attention to everyday tasks and maintaining good hygiene, all while providing a healthy dose of shock value that’s difficult to forget.
