how do you use a plunger?

I'm 25... and never used a plunger.
but my roomie's BF visited a couple weeks ago and ever since then the hall bathroom hasn't been the same... been flushing real slowly... About 99% of the time I use the bathroom off of my bedroom... but i just took a piss and the toilet won't flush.
I've seen people use a plunger... so I figured it couldn't be so hard... and I just like put it over the hole and pumped it like really fast for a minute or so... but it seems to not be working.
I'm not too worried about it, I hardly use the toilet in that bathroom... my roomie can unclog the crap from his BF. I'm not gonna do it.

that's about it. don't plunge it in all the way or else it won't unclog anything. don't do it incredibly fast, just nice strong motions. shouldn't take more than a few plunges if it's a simple backup

That's what you do, just make sure it forms a seal with the bowl. Do quick sudden thrusts.

what do you mean? toilet water is clean (unless you're plunging with shit still in the toilet) if your toilet is clean
wash it off in a sink or shower and let it dry out

HAHA I spin it around in the bowl after the clog is gone. I give it a clean flush to "wash" it off.

Fucking american toilets back up and fail so easily. They use a vortex system to suck the stuff down when you flush.
But proper british toilets aren't like that. Connected to big six inch soil pipes, and use a big tank full of water to push it all down. Which is why you hardly ever see a plunger in a british loo.

no... it's just my dad used to fix it when I lived at home... then when I moved out I never had a problem with toilets, or if there was a problem with one I shared with a roomie they've fixed it and I was none the wiser. I've had a plunger b/c i bought one when I first moved out and it's just kinda sat in the bathroom... but never used... in fact it still has a sticker on it from when I bought it LOL

^Thats my method^
Also, Visionary Tools, you proper brits don't have deep fried twinky bars and the like. I hardly think your poo's compare to some of Americas wider populations'.

Actually in pubs in the UK they serve deep fried Mars Bars... And they are really big on Indian food, so lots of curry.

my roomie is Indian and I fucking hate curry. I hate the way it smells. I hate the way the smell seeps into EVERYTHING. I wore a shirt that had been hanging in the closet for a while and it smelled like fucking curry. Even when I go to other people's houses and smell clean clothes they still have a light curry smell.
I read somewhere the reason it's so bad is because when they cook curry they start if off with grease and the curry paste/powder, so the curry is incased in grease.
When I move I'm going to have to wipe down every thing I own with 409... and wash all my clothes and bedding with dawn dish soap.
I don't know what I'm going to do with my couch. Probably have it professionally steam cleaned or sell it and get another one.

Ya I would never want to live with an Indian or Pakistani. I've definitely met cool people of both races, and have nothing against them, but that smell does get into everything you own.
I cook curries every once in awhile, but if you do it all the time...yech.
