I used sink plungers in toilets pretty much my whole life until i scrolled across a similar diagram one day and discovered the truth.

    I use a bidet and that cuts down on TP usage, but sometimes you get a big ol’ honker of a log ploppin’ out and that sucker just says, “Not today.” That’s when the trusty turd wrangler is your best friend.

    One time I was at my mother-in-laws and clogged that some bitch. I couldn’t find a plunger. Turns out my sister-in-law took it when she went away to college, because she was too scared to buy one. I tried to text my wife, but I had no service. So I left it there and went and told my wife. My mother-in-law took a golf cart to the neighbor’s house and explained the situation and they let her borrow theirs. Meanwhile, I’m fucking mortified that the neighbors now think I have fiber intake issues.

    Always keep a plunger in a bathroom with a toilet.

      Bidet is the way.

      There’s a lot of intriguing family history in your story. SIL scared to buy a plunger. MIL took a golf cart. Interesting group.

        Bro, that ain’t the half of it. My father-in-law built an entire western town in his backyard and when he was done he built a Jurassic Park with dinosaurs essentially made of trash. Here is a shitty picture of the saloon with a bar in it. I’ll see if I can find some of the dinosaur pics too.

          Yes PLEASE!

          Sounds like you married right.

          The signs and storefronts are amazing.

          I see the inside of the saloon, is the general store a whole room are just the storefront?

          that is amazing, give him my maddest of props.

              his annual go-kart track…I knew I wanted land when I eventually buy a house, but I wasn’t sure what I wanted it for.

              now I have a lot of valuable inspiration.

              please pass on my sincere congratulations and respect, Western World and the go-karts are awesome.

              And yes, I’m ready to see the trash dinosaurs.

                Yeah just casually dropping in there that his dad sets up a go-cart track for the family get-together in the garden, sure.

                  Oh man!

                  I didn’t realize they were fully fleshed out dinosaurs!

                  they look great!

                  I actually saw some scrap dinosaurs in Arizona, but they’re still metal and skeleton, no skin or color on them.

                  wow and the skin is even pebbled. that is so cool.

                  thank you for getting back to me and sharing those pictures. wow! those are huge dinos too

                He would very much rather smoke cigarettes and drink Bud Light in the yard.

          He can do all that but not have a toilet that gets clogged so frequently his daughter is stealing plungers out of anxiety?
