Clogged Toilet

Clogged toilets are a thing of the past for my family. I can't remember the last time we had a clogged toilet...until last week. I share a downstairs with my twin brother, Jeffrey and older sister Candice. There are 3 rooms downstairs and 2 bathrooms. My room is the only one downstairs on its side of the house so I enjoy the luxury of having my own bathroom. I've never been too hard on my toilet. Never flush anything down that doesn't belong in it. Never repeatedly flush the toilet. A courtesy flush here and there. I take care of my stuff. However, this past week was another thing. On Wednesday morning I woke up like normal and walked into my restroom. I used the restroom and proceeded to flush the toilet. My toilet is a fast reactor. It yanks the water down the hole faster than Usian Bolt can run 20 meters. But, after I flushed the toilet I heard a funny noise and watched as the water in the bowl slowly filled to the top of the toilet. Wow. Why did this happen? There wasn't even anything to clog up the toilet in the first place. Well, to make a long story short, I kept the bad news from my parents and solved the problem myself. I never fixed a clogged toilet before, but I knew a plunger would do the job. I frantically searched the house and garage for a plunger. Nothing. Eventually, on Sunday I was able to get a plunger from a friend and unclog my toilet. It was miserable not being able to use my bathroom for five days.

DO YOUR BEST TO AVOID CLOGGED TOILETS.
