I hit 100 rolls of film developed in my bathroom sink

Started developing at home during lockdown in Chicago. 3 years later and I just finished roll number 100. That's over 3,600 negatives I've ruined and rescued. My girlfriend says the bathroom smells like vinegar and shame but I'm proud of that number. Anyone else keep a running count of rolls they've put through the soup?

100 rolls is a lot of chemistry and a lot of tap water down the drain. I keep a rough tally in my head but I never counted that high because I’m not sure I’d want to know the exact number of times I’ve screwed up a batch of developer. Three years of that smell in your bathroom seems like a pretty big sacrifice for something you could pay a lab ten bucks to do. You’re clearly dedicated, but I’d rather scrub a toilet than deal with that lingering chemical odor every time I shower. Different strokes, I guess.

Idk, I love having that darkroom smell in my bathroom honestly.
