Do you find hair to be gross?

I have misplaced my pants.
The drain in our shower had been pretty clogged up for a couple of months. I tried some of that drain cleaner fluid stuff for about two weeks, and I don't think it did any good. So I figured I'd try one of those snake things that cleans drains. I went to the hardware store to get one, and got one for less than $10.

So I got home and crammed it down the drain and I'm goin' to town with it for about 15 minutes, when I figured I'd pull it out to see if I've got something. It turns out that I did: a clump of hair about 2" diameter (the diameter of the drain pipe) by about 6 inches long. It was possibly the grossest thing I've ever seen, and when I went to clean it off the hook, I think I was pretty close to throwing up.

I don't think it was my hair. My hair isn't nearly so dark. But even if it was, I think I'd still find it gross. I hate cleaning the drain cover. Does anyone else find old, wet hair to be gross? And why is it so gross? I don't have any answers.
 
I bought some stuff at Home Depot a few years ago that works extremely well... it's pretty powerful and they tell you no to use it on plastic and you have to wear gloves while using it. After I poured it down the drain I would have to air out the house because it smelled bad... but it go the job done and I never had to see what was down there.

Is that stuff able to be used in septic tanks or does it kill the organisms?

I used the foaming pipe snake stuff. My fiance took the first shower after I used it and said the water started to back up worse than ever, then something popped and all the water went down the drain. We haven't had any problems since. I hate cleaning her hair out of the drain cover.

Was it sulfuric acid? The guy at Lowe's tried to sell me sulfuric acid, saying that it worked great. I'm a little cautious, because sometimes I get the feel that a strong wind is going to knock my house over. Sulfuric acid might just disintigrate the whole thing.

I use some stuff on a regular basis that is meant to treat your lines. You pour it down at night and let it do its magic overnight. I cannot recall the name, but it is a national brand and can be bought at any hardware store. Our primary tub line drained very slow and after a few treatments of this stuff it no longer does.
