for those who will be studying/living abroad, here's one little situation you might encounter:
you go to the toilet as usual, to do your little business, and omg!!!! the water level is higher than usual and paper towels are bobbing up all over the place. it might look a little like this:
(yes, ew)
what's happening?!?!?! YOUR TOILET IS CLOGGED!!!!
first easiest step: GOOGLE! (after cursing and complaining)
next: buy all the items needed.
here's what you need:
- dishwashing liquid
- a bucket to throw away the icky water
- a plunger
- a kettle full of boiling water
- clog remover as a backup (WARNING: this is bad for the environment)
let's move on to practicals!!!
wear gloves!!! we don't want to be touching things we don't want to touch.
if there are paper towels inside the bowl, you should get a pair of chopsticks!!! unless you want to pick 'em with your hands. *shudders*
so we picked out the wet wet paper towels, and dumped 'em into a plastic bag. dis...gus...ting... business...
note: NEVER throw paper towels into your toilet bowl!!!!
omg!!!! it stinks!!!
LET'S SPRAY ALL THE SMELL AWAAAYYY!!!
and WTF is that... coloured... thing....
AAAAGGGH!!!!!
time to empty out as much water from the bowl!!! but woops!!! our bucket's too big! it won't fit!
time to improvise ;)
we used a plastic cup =D
next, prepare half a cup of dish-washing liquid
and pour it into the bowl. let it sit for 10-15 mins.
in the meantime... LET'S THROW AWAY THE ICKY STUFF
and get ready to do our laundry =P
moving on!!! boil a kettle/pot of water
pooouuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrr... and let it sit for another 10-15 mins!
and off to the laundry we goo!!! XD
then with our new pair of gloves... (don't want to be reusing those dirty ones)
PLUNGE LIKE MAD!!!!!!
oooohhh you can see the water's gone down!!!!!!
and the final moment has come...
flush it....
did it work??????
