About a year ago, I got my first 8:00-5:00 job. The pay isn't great, but the work environment is fantastic and my coworkers and supervisor are a joy to work with. Best of all, the office is within walking distance. It only takes 10-15 minutes to get there from my home. This is relevant.
One day, I decided to eat a both a huge breakfast and lunch instead of just skipping one or the other. Naturally, this ensured that I had to take a shit. I had taken a few smallish dumps at work before, and they had all been flushed down successfully, but I could tell that this one was different. I knew it was going to be a monster, and I was right (it hurt badly enough coming out that my eyes started to water). Flushing it outright didn't work. I would have to resort to using the men's room work plunger.
After an hour of sweat-inducing work, it was obvious that the work plunger wasn't going to cut it. The toilet wasn't at the point where it was overflowing with water, but it was too close for comfort. I was desperate to avoid calling the custodian. In a panic, I texted my brother and begged him to sneak over the plunger I had bought a few weeks before: the Korky Beehive Max. I normally shit big, which makes this thing easily the best purchase I've ever made in my entire life.
Given that this was his vacation time and it was an embarrassing task in general, my brother was less than amused, but agreed to bring the plunger over in a bunch of plastic bags. I went outside in the cold and waited for him. After about 20 or so minutes, I saw my brother walking towards me. His hands were irritated and red since he didn't have any gloves on (he didn't want to get them dirty), his phone had run out of batteries, and he would have to make his way back in an unfamiliar area without any kind of electronic map. He agreed to wait for me until I was done.
I wanted to sneak the plunger in, but couldn't access the stairs and would have to take the elevator. Luckily, no one else was on it. I'm fairly certain I was able to avoid my coworkers seeing me carrying a fucking plunger to the bathroom, but I was definitely caught on the security camera that's by the elevator. Anyway, it only took about 5 plunges to unclog that toilet. When I left, it was quieter than usual, like my coworkers knew. I gave the wrapped-up plunger back to my brother, who promptly took it home.
I could have left well enough alone, but I didn't want to clog a toilet at work again. I ordered two more Beehives: one for home and one for work. After weeks of agonizing delays and holding it in at work, they finally arrived. I resolved to sneak a Beehive in using the paper packaging it came in. At 11:00, I took my lunch break, walked home, got the plunger, and brought it back to work. I didn't see any of my coworkers. I was home free!
...until my supervisor stepped out of the ladies' room.
I tried to speed past her, but like an idiot, briefly made eye contact. I barged into the mens' room, deposited the plunger, and disposed of the packaging. I thought that maybe there was a chance she didn't see me carrying anything.
The next day, I was going to ask my supervisor about a project I was working on when I heard a coworker asking about the new plunger in the mens' room. My supervisor and coworker were laughing about how I brought it in. I was mortified to the point where I turned around, went back to my station, and got nothing done for the rest of the day. I didn't do much the day after that, either.
About a week later, the work plunger was gone.
At one point, I had to go take a leak, but the mens' room was already occupied. I heard a splashing noise and some grumbling from the occupant. The toilet flushed, and there was more grumbling. Three plunges later and with a rush of water, the toilet was unclogged. The occupant let out an impressed "Wow!" and washed his hands. That's the only reason I don't really see bringing the plunger over as a mistake anymore. Plus, my coworkers never made fun of me for it (at least not to my face), which is nice.
The Korky 99-4A 99-1AM Beehive Max: never leave the cave without it.
