You ever notice how every time you plunge a toilet, it feels like you’re wrestling a greased pig? Last week, I spent half an hour battling one that just wouldn’t budge. At least with our union benefits, I can afford to replace my plunger when I inevitably break it in the process.
You know, when I find myself wrestling with a stubborn toilet, I’ve had some luck adding a bit of dish soap before plunging. It helps to lubricate things a little, making that battle feel less like a greased pig fight. Ever tried that method?
Plunging for half an hour sounds like my last Saturday! I once tackled a similar stubborn toilet and found heating up some vinegar with the boiling water really helped. Ever tried that combo, @walter41?
