Incorrect meme usage?

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

That’s not how this meme template works.

Three bathrooms, three plungers. Never be caught without one.

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.

No you will learn this lesson one time and every time you move after it’ll be your first purchase lol

Literally used this video yesterday to unclog a very stubborn tp clog. It worked

The miracle of the poop knife. Always be ready.

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.

You have clearly never played cosmo

Hot water an dish soap works miracles on all kinds of clogs btw.

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.

Until you saw this post

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.

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
