Incorrect meme usage?
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
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 ultra-processed food, coupled with medieval-level plumbing, then clogged a toilet and said -
Probably just coincidence
😂
Mate…
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 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.
I brought one into the office because we only had 1 plunger between 2 stalls
Or it breaks when guests are already on the way. Then you think for the rest of your life.
I’m a plumber, almost said i was a plunger… anyways, my go to for a kitchen sink clog is a plunger. We get a lot of weird looks/naysaysers when I pull it out. “Oh i tried plunging it, that wont work”.
Trust me, I’ve been in many of your houses, my plunger is professional, and i know how to use it. Works 80% of time on sink clogs in my 6 years of plumbing.
I guess ill share the plumbing secret. You have to block the opposite side of the plunging with a wet rag, or preferably a drain stopper. Put pressure on the stopper and plunge the other side. Also, if there is a garbage disposal, you can block both drain when full of water, and turn it on for 10 seconds or so… a lot of times, this clears the clog.
Wet rag works on bathrooms sinks too, put it over the overflow holes while plunging.
Warning tho, if your underpipes aren’t mostly secure, you can just push water through the seals all under your sinks, this is fine. kinda i guess, just tighten them up and try again and bring a towel. You can make sure they are secure by tightening them. Its like a bolt, righty tighty, on all underside piping connections.
AND FOR THE LOVE OF EYESIGHT AND CHEMICAL BURNS, JUST TELL US YOU USED DRAINO. Even if it was a few days ago before the problem started. I know a guy who had his foot melted in the winter by stepping in a sewer puddle from draino, im talking no meat left… and if you get it in your eye, within a few seconds before you can wash it out, you have permanent eye damage.
Until you saw this post
I think about them when I check into a hotel because I’ve had to make that call a time or two.
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 miracle of the poop knife. Always be ready.
Untrue. I grew up on the Super Mario Brothers Super Show.
No you will learn this lesson one time and every time you move after it’ll be your first purchase lol
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.
