Bathroom Emergency

I am living in temporary student housing this month with three other medical students. I absolutely hate living in temporary housing and away from home, but that is a whole other story. Today I had a bit of an emergency. Luckily all of my roommates were out of the house. I went upstairs to the only bathroom in the house because I needed to do a post-lunch #2. Unfortunately for me when I flushed the toilet got stopped up and the water nearly flooded out of the bowl. To make matters worse, I couldn't find a plunger anywhere. So I had to go out in the miserable cold to Wal-Mart to buy a plunger. Of course there were 100,000 people at Wal-Mart. Do you have any idea how embarrassing it is to walk into a store and the only thing you bring up to the counter to buy is a plunger? It is pretty embarrassing. You know the sales clerk knows what's up.
