My neighbor told me to just pour bleach down the drain for a clog

Last week my neighbor Bob swore dumping a whole bottle of bleach would clear my kitchen sink clog... ended up with bleach fumes filling the whole house and the drain still backed up. Had to snake it myself the next morning anyway. Has anyone else gotten bad plumbing advice from someone who's never touched a pipe wrench?

I read that bleach actually corrodes pipes so you're just asking for bigger problems.

And you're spot on, bleach is rough on old metal pipes for sure.
