clean up after the parents
Huh? I live on my own and cook for myself and have for 10 years. My parents live in a different country and I've not even seen or spoke to them in like 6 years so I don't get what you mean to imply there.
I just haven't heard of this phenomenon before. I've never had any drainage issues either. Maybe in the shower due to hair, but never in the kitchen. I've just literally never heard of this, ever, my parents definitely never did this back in my home country, nor have I ever seen anyone do this in any of the countries I've been to or the one I currently live in.
I've lived with roommates, at boarding school, and with a partner, and not once have I seen them not pour grease down the drain either, least of all in a jar.
Doing some surface level research it seems like primarily an American thing. As long as you're not pouring litres of pure grease down the drain it should be ok to just wash down what naturally comes off pans etc. as you wash them, especially mixed with washing up liquid. Maybe I'm just not very greasy idk.
What is "lucky 10g"?
- I think they are saying, you one of the lucky 10000. It's a reference to an xkcd comic where they joke about everyday 10000 people learning something new.
  Edit someone posted the link in this thread so here it is for your entertainment https://xkcd.com/1053/
  
  Ah sure thanks. The "g" threw me off. Wouldn't it be "lucky 10k"? g means "grand" but that's usually only in reference to money, nah?
  
  Yeah it took me a moment to try and work out what they were saying when they said 10g as well so your confusion was well waranted there lol. I just noticed someone posted the comic further down and thats my best guess as to what they were referring to because I'm not aware of anything that 10g could mean otherwise.
  
  Sorry everyone for the confusion. I was intoxicated and am genuinely surprised anyone understood me.
  
  10g more than likely 10k typo (perhaps more brain than body/finger typo, there a word for that?)
  Oh, “thinko”
- Get lucky finding the window that would sell you some schwag.
  
  What? Is that meant to be a reference to something? Google doesn't really show anything for that exact quote with or without the typo(?). Bot gone wrong?
  
  Every city I've lived in when I was younger and shit was illegal everywhere always had a "window" you could walk up to and buy shitty weed at.
