I'll get the plunger...
That's a plungin'
That's not how this meme template works.
Op should apologize
Ironically, you could use the meme template to say that somehow
Viral memes are born out of mutation, much like new viral diseases
Note for Europeans -
This is a weird US thing. Their toilets are an odd trap design with a floor level outlet, plus the pipework is narrower and more likely to block.
Regarding sinks, for some reason bottle traps like we have scare them, so they can't just unscrew the trap to clean it
You, however, are very unlikely to ever need a plunger at any point in your life
Yeah, toilets in American homes tend to rely on a siphon to evacuate the bowl so the outlet has to be narrower. Also, Bidets are not very common so most people [insufficiently] clean themselves with toilet paper which is prone to causing clogs.
Personally, I installed a bidet a few years ago and I would never go back to not having one.
I’ve been to the US exactly once in my life, and I clogged the toilet at the hotel I stayed at. Never had it at home.
Probably just coincidence, but hey
You went to a country with incredibly poor-quality, high fibre food, coupled with medieval-level plumbing, then clogged a toilet and said -
Probably just coincidence
😂
Mate...
I live in Europe, and somehow my toilet gets blocked every couple of months. Might have to just clean it properly with a spiral, but so far the plunger has always worked.
Just don't be too aggressive. There will be backsplash.
Shitty builders exist everywhere, your toilet is the excrementception to the rule
Three bathrooms, three plungers. Never be caught without one.
Toss in some bidets, a squatty potty and baby you got a stew going.
We have a bidet on every toilet, but not a squatty potty. We tried one at our last place, but it quickly got really gross.
I brought one into the office because we only had 1 plunger between 2 stalls
Untrue. I grew up on the Super Mario Brothers Super Show.
Or it breaks when guests are already on the way. Then you think for the rest of your life.
I think about them when I check into a hotel because I've had to make that call a time or two.
Until you saw this post
The miracle of the poop knife. Always be ready.
You have clearly never played cosmo
Nor watched Doctor Who
Sometimes I think about those cartoon scenes where a character has a plunger stuck in their face. That's technically more than 0%.
If you play close attention to the "power' of your toilets flush... you'll notice when it's getting close to a clog. That flush will make you second guess something isn't right. And if your neglect it, you will sooner or later realize it was in fact on its way to clog.
The life of a homeowner. Many of you have NO idea the amount of chit you need to learn and pay attention to on a daily basis to make sure your home is well maintained. Adulting fkin sucks.
Not true! Mine’s exceptionally ugly, so I think “I really need to replace it” the instant I walk in.
I have one with a ribbed clear handle, and if I was brave enough...
The figure is somewhere above 0%, but certainly not zero. For example, haven't you seen the crap blaster 9000 infomercial at 2AM on a Tuesday? You connect that bad boy to a fire hydrant (vendor liability disclaimed), pull the turbo-diesel engine rip cord, and wear a full body bio-hazard suit with air supply (suggested). Not for use with some sets. Batteries not included.
Ahh, sweet memories; sometimes they overflow.

Just like your toilet
Hot water an dish soap works miracles on all kinds of clogs btw.
No you will learn this lesson one time and every time you move after it'll be your first purchase lol
Simple soda bottle and a turn of the heads all you need...
You only make this mistake once, hopefully. The first night I moved into my new place, many years ago was a bad night. My stuff didn't show up yet. It was getting delivered in a few days. I didn't even take a big dump. It just clogged up. I had to get an emergency plunger and since that move I make sure there is one close by during moves.
I actually think about plungers quite a bit. If I notice someone has a sink plunger instead of a toilet plunger, I immediately and forever judge the shit out of them.
Don't use plungers, just use a heap of oxygen bleach and possibly also soap (and time)
Literally used this video yesterday to unclog a very stubborn tp clog. It worked

Wait...

One of the first things I did when my gf and I started dating was buy her one, so that when I finally got comfortable enough to drop dueces at her place I wouldn't be up shit creek without a plunger
🪠
How'd you even start that conversation?
"We've been together for a month now and I think it's getting serious. Maybe it's time for us to take the next step, let's go get you a plunger 🪠"
I actually didn't even have a conversation about it with her at first I just snuck one in her house and put it by the toilet. Now later on she did mention that just doing that was more than a lot of dudes in the last relationships she'd been in had done for her in months and months. I upgraded to also bringing her over a second one for her second bathroom and a set of toilet scrubbers and bleach gel and I'm always keeping her toilet paper stocked up. Also bring some baby wipes over to keep things extra clean. I try to get her a lot of practical gifts like I'll go to Sam's and just constantly keep her stocked up on paper towels that I got in my trunk, hell we're practically married at this point all this old people stuff I'm doing for romance. It it kind of start with the selfish need for a toilet plunger in case I clogged hers up though lol. I'm just glad we're finally getting past that awkward phase of being shy and timid about bodily functions like pooping peeing farting that kind of stuff and we're able to talk about it and joke about it now.
been there, done that. now i own two, just in case something happens with one.
