      Amen. Not so much an issue for 40 year old me but I had so many friends in my younger days who didn’t own one because they didn’t think they needed it…until they needed it.

      I know that feeling. When I was in college neither me or my roommates had a plunger when the toilet backed up. We tried to use a clothes hanger to unclog the toilet. It didn’t work well.

      I bought a toilet auger that works much better. It takes care of a lot of problems that the plunger can’t.

      And get an actual toilet plunger for the toilets, not a sink plunger. The sink ones are dome shaped. Toilet plungers close off towards the end. Everyone I know has a sink plunger by the toilet and I’m just guessing they’ve somehow managed to never clog a toilet and figure out it doesn’t work.
