I once gave an employee the assignment of writing the "toliet letter".
It was a page of directions for university students on how to properly
use a toilet, and how to unclog one.
When my wife needs the toilet unclogged, she reminds me of the great meal she's cooked recently. Last time we had a bit of spashing as I worked the plunger so the aftermath was hers to do.

There should be no splashing with proper technique.
But if you overfill the bowl, you should wait for leakage to give you some working room.
I was trained by a professional plumber.

Let me just write that the clog this time was epic in its proportions and the amount of work involved made me grumpy and caused some aggressive pumping.

It doesn't surprise me. Having worked at a university library, I saw how many of these university students consistently fail to push their chairs back in, leave their own trash behind (seldom times even a half-eaten lunch), and have not a care about putting books back in the shelf correctly, which for the stacks potentially meaning a book will not be found for at least a few months, assuming the workers are doing their job of shelf reading correctly (many of them don't). I considered that job a blessing, that it was a comfortable inside setting, it didn't have rude customers, there was no stress, it paid a good hourly rate (though it could have been better hours), and it will be the easiest 9 or 10-an-hour I ever have and will make. And a couple people actually complained about the job, with one of them regularly *****ing about it (and still does, according to my niece, who pretty much hand-picked to fill in for me once I had to leave).
Being an honor student also allowed me to "mingle" with the so-called "smart kids." They aren't that smart. I even prevented one of them from preventing academic suicide by talking him out of a research paper about the Philadelphia Project/Expirement/Whatever from the perspective that all the crazy conspiracy theories are true, including the parts of the ship vanishing and rematerializing with people's bodies fused to the hull.

That's pretty much how I am with everything. I had no formal instruction with plumbing, wiring, cars, carpentry, or welding, but I was taught on the job how to do it all by people who have. If my knee wasn't bad, I might give my own construction crew another thought.
I've had formal instruction in social sciences, research, and writing and editing papers. It actually let's me be able to fill in for a ton of different positions, especially when my computer skills are added in, but I can't even find any data-entry jobs in the area.

My son clogs our toilet on a pretty regular basis. I don't know how many times we have to tell him not to use so much toilet paper or at least give a cursory in-between flush, but apparently it hasn't been enough so far. Though, sometimes he just doesn't flush at all. Just fills up the bowl, leaving it a nice grotesque smelly surprise for the next person to deal with. Both my kids forget to flush often enough though. I kind of have to blame the schools here now for installing auto-flush toilets throughout all schools. I mean, why? They get in the habit of never flushing at school and it carries over to home. To perhaps solve the problem of a few kids not flushing, they've now taught all kids not to flush. Lovely.

I am in a mood today and I can't help but take that as an insult. I am sorry.
No one should be insulted by the posting of a sign about the important issue under discussion.
Oh....I get it.
It wasn't about the cookies.
Your post arrived while I was searching for the image.
No, this sign was about training students on how to do it.

You are a gentleman. What I do not understand is how and when gentlemen will call The Lord "lord".

My friend's brother gave me a tank for my vape mod, the tank is almost full of juice (I think a pineapple and coconut flavor), and wow it hits really good.
