I've seen my shower do it. I'm on the second level. I have one of them 'water saver' heads so you know the flow is slow. I get about an inch of water in the tub anyway. After several minutes, it starts draining and stays that way. Brian -- Shouldn't make a siphon because you have a vent stack on it, right? Yes, there is. Perhaps there's a clog somewhere. Bird nest?

My weird sink drain

At the last second turn the faucet part way off -- down to roughly 50% of full flow, more or less -- then trim the flow until inflow rate just equals outflow, so the water level stays just 1/4 inch or so below the rim. Then leave it in this steady-state condition, and wait. I think you need a hobby. Might I suggest reading In Search of Lost Time? It has saved many individuals who despaired of ever finding meaning in life.
