Warning: My bathroom drywall job went south from skipping the plastic sheet...

I was redoing my small bathroom and decided to leave out the vapor barrier to save time... After a couple of months, I kept seeing dark, damp spots near the shower wall... When I pulled a section off, the back was all soggy and had black mold starting... Now I always use that plastic, even in rooms that don't seem too wet...

It's funny how often we try to save a little time now, only to waste a lot more fixing it later. Makes you wonder if shortcuts are ever worth it, right?

Remember my friend who tried fixing his sink? Yeah, @emery19, that took weeks.
