Ah, the old long play strategy. This why you get married.
Send the wife in to take care of it.
Well if your plunger looks like this, it's for sinks not toiletsI have found that plungers only work on certain toilet drains. I haven't got it narrowed down to a science yet, but I do know that of the 3 toilets in my house, I can only unplug one with a plunger reliably. Perhaps other things go into it. How much water is in the bowl? What is the pressure generated by the flush, does it differ from toilet to toilet? Does it matter the material the plunger is comprised of? So many variables to ponder.
As an aside, my wife recently chewed me a second b hole that I keep our plunger in the bathroom closet, wrapped in a platic grocery back. She complains that we can't have that in there where we keep our washcloths, towels etc. My thought was to put it in there so that it isn't just out in the open where people can see it. Where does everyone else store their plungers?
"Is that a mace?"
I believe, in the Seinfeld tradition, once it's in the toilet it must be discarded. So that would make it a single use tool, like a pizza cutter.I've got ours in a plastic bag hanging in the basement.
Yes, if a guest has an issue it's best for all if they have the opportunity to address the situation without potential embarrassment. It should be somewhere a reasonable person would look in an emergency.Wrapped in a plastic bag right next to/behind the toilet.
READY FOR ACTION AT ALL TIMES
I fear there's zero way you can report this without still being guilty by association.
A mace or some kind of demented sex toy. Maybe both."Is that a mace?"
"Well, you don't want to get hit in the face with it, that's for sure"
I just don't understand the mentality of someone who creates this situation and then leaves without saying anything. At a workplace, you are an adult. You have the ability to remedy this situation on your own or with the guidance of someone else. How do you leave your poop there for another adult (who probably isn't paid enough for that) to have to deal with poop that isn't theirs. It is YOUR POOP! YOU clean it up!So I walk in at work to one of the bathrooms this morning (a one-holer, no men's or women's here) and there's... a disaster. The thing is clearly completely clogged and someone had recently annihilated it. After catching my breath from the smell, I rather quickly got out of there as to not get be guilty by association. What's the protocol in situations like this? Do I try and call someone to clean up the crime scene or just pretend I never saw what happened and let it linger?
Haha I am rolling! I think if faced with the shame of asking for a plunger from the neighbor, I might've just gone and bought one for the ol' lady.OK side note this made me think of a repressed memory.
When my wife and I were dating we'd visit her grandmother's house from time to time. She lived out on an acreage, although small ones so houses are still reasonably close together.
She had this weakest-flush-possible toilet (the kind nightmares are made from) off the kitchen in a combo laundry room / half bath. I had a couple close calls with this thing, until one day with what I considered an average, if not below-average visit, my deposit was NOT accepted. I scoured through this whole tiny room and could find zero plunging assistance.
I finally break down and ask my girlfriend, who then asks her grandmother for the location of a plunger.
SHE DOES NOT HAVE ONE.
So she calls the NEIGHBOR. I have to walk to the neighbor's house to BORROW A PLUNGER to convince this toilet to accept my deposit. Then...return the plunger??!!
I'm fairly certain I never used that toilet again. I may have also bought her a plunger, I don't recall.
I have all 3. Did not understand that about the wooden handle one though. That explains quite a bit actually.Well if your plunger looks like this, it's for sinks not toilets
This is for toilets
Also ours is right inside the front door so everyone is aware of their responsibility
This makes me nervous.
