Today, my girlfriend was visiting, and while in the bathroom, she clogged the toilet. Since there was no plunger in the room, she unclogged it with the only thing she could find: my mother's hairbrush. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I couldn't find my hairbrush anywhere; I ended up having to brush my hair with a fork. FML
Today, I went with my boyfriend to meet his parents. I had to excuse myself to use the bathroom, and I ended up taking a huge crap that wouldn't flush. I had to reach in and break it up with my hands just so it would flush. Only after I washed up did I notice a plunger sitting under the sink. FML
Today, the water in my shower wouldn't drain so I used a snake to unclog it. I pulled almost a full foot of nasty hair and gunk out of the drain. I just moved in, and the previous owner was an elderly woman. I just pulled a foot of old lady pubes out of my drain. FML
Today, I learned that when I leave skid marks in the toilet my wife uses my toothbrush to remove them. FML
Today, I cleaned the toilet so vigorously that I snapped the handle of the brush. I laughed and told the rest of my family. Instead of joining in on the hilarity, my mother screamed, "We've had that toilet brush for twenty-six years!" FML
Today, I took my boyfriend to meet my parents. As he was loading his truck, I went inside to take a surreptitious shit. I ended up clogging the toilet, and so the first thing my mom said to my boyfriend was, "You'll have to find another bathroom; she just clogged it all up." FML
Today, I realized that the "eyelash curling brush" that my best friend found in my old bathroom drawer was actually a stick used for cleaning food out of my sister's braces. I used that thing for years. FML
Today, at work, the only toilet in the building was so clogged that it was overflowing. We didn't have a plunger, so basically the only way to stop it was to try and reach in and remove the blockage. I was nominated to do it. FML
Today, my friend was extremely constipated when he used my toilet. I'm now having to go buy a new toothbrush, because he used mine to dig out his shit. FML
Today, I had no choice but to unclog a toilet with my bare hands. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I see what you did there

Well, would you rather have a ruined hairbrush or a flooded bathroom?
MizzErikaHart 8
Good point

You wouldn't necessarily have flooded the bathroom - the water may just have stayed high for some time. I think my toilet can hold two flushes. Would you really have continued flushing if you saw the water getting close to the top of the toilet?

YDI, dude spend $5 and get a plunger.

OP may have a plunger but his girlfriend never asked to use it probably out of embarrassment.

OP said "since there was no plunger.."
_DudeGuy_ 16
"...in the room" that implies he has one in a different room.
SlapAndTickle 20
That does not imply that there is one period. I mean where else would a plunger be, the living room?

It could be in another bathroom, some houses have more than one.

And that is why a plunger should be kept in every bathroom. People are often too embarrassed to ask for one. It was either the brush or her hands. Which would you prefer?

31- My family keeps the plunger in the garage..

I also keep my plunger in the garage. Why look at that ugly thing daily, when it's not needed?
illegalbeagle69 23
And why leave it in the garage? By the time you run to grab it... Bye-bye bathroom floor..
alycion 39
You can get ones that have little cover up stands they sit in. Then you don't have to look at it but it is near by if needed.

Was she trying to flush a cat down?

Just beat me. Good work.

Great minds think alike.

Was it clogged with a dead cat?
