Keep going back to this lady's house cause the po plug keeps breaking on the thread part. I'm not over tightening it. And there is no strain on the tailpiece. I'm not using putty either. Only thing I can think of is if she is dumping somthing that would react with the plastic.

I am not a plumber, but I expect that a photo that includes more than the broken place would help those who might have a solution for you to see the problem.

Try a metal one, if you have no luck with plastic PVC or ABS.

You still have to thread it correctly.
