clogged the toilet but still draining slowly. after five flush & wait fails, i opted to sleep, hope for miracle, scout plunger in the morning. one r.e.m. cycle later, chicago neighbors gasped & swore through poorly-soundproofed bolt-locked shared door. i woke panicked & sure i'd flooded adjacent unit by ignoring obstruction past pipes' fork, i dressed & wall-knocked. into blocked-portal, former-screamer calmly reported zero poop. +1 pump with a plumber's little helper that i'd found in the closet cleared my drain too. i'll forever wonder whether whatever they were cursing about came as more or less of a surprise than the airbnb guest 2:30 a.m. edt pounding asking if he could help mop up the nonexistent mess all over their bathroom floor
