The Truth Behind 'Brown Friday': Plumbers' Busiest Day of the Year
TL;DR
Plumbers refer to the day after Thanksgiving as "Brown Friday" because it is their busiest day of the year, dealing with clogged drains and broken garbage disposals caused by improper disposal of Thanksgiving waste. To avoid calling a plumber, hosts should remind guests not to throw all waste down garbage disposals, avoid pouring fatty oils and grease down the drain, and refrain from using toilets as a second trash can.
