The Thanksgiving disposal disaster window
From 2pm Thursday to 10am Friday, garbage disposal calls spike 9x. Most shops are closed.
Potato peels, turkey skins, and celery strings hit residential disposals at volumes they were never designed for. The 20-hour window starting Thanksgiving afternoon is the single highest concentration of disposal and drain calls in the year.
