I’m literally in a labor and delivery room waiting for my first baby to come (not in active labor yet) and this legitimately got a laugh out of my wife and I

You brought this upon her! I hope you're ashamed of yourself.
Yeah, I suck…
Well she didn't
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I also want to say you didn't self load that time.
Well to be fair I loaded but she pulled the trigger
Congrats to you both. Remember to keep this sense of humor and laugh together often this first year of your kid’s life.
Welcome to the club.
Thank you for your kind words, it means a lot!
Thanks woody, how would I take personal responsibility for my failings if not for you
We rushed up to my in-laws about a week-and-a-half ago because my mother-in-law seemed to be dying (it seems like she turned the corner this week and I think she will recover). Tonight, though, I ran to the bathroom in the basement apartment we use at their house with an upset stomach. At the bottom of the toilet was paper, a telltale sign of a toilet that was clogged but has since drained without flushing. Feeling like there was no time, I went ahead and used it, figuring I’d use the plunger after.
While I was there I could hear my wife in the kitchen on the other side of the wall. When she ran the sink the water in the toilet started gurgling, which is not something I’ve experienced before. Before adding any paper I figured I should try a “courtesy flush” to see what happened. It was clogged. Fortunately I didn’t end up needing much paper, but I was still surprised to find the toilet had already drained by the time I had finished.
I decided I should try to keep running the water into the toilet, figuring that maybe it was draining too fast but if I could keep the water pressure up it might clear itself and I wouldn’t need the plunger. I tried it for a couple minutes but then heard a sound and noticed that water was filling through the drain into the bathtub. At that point I figured this was probably not a plunger problem and instead time to call a plumber.
I told my wife but she still thought it was worth trying the plunger first, so I went to go through our room to head upstairs and get it. As I entered the room, I had the sensation that the laminate floor was floating, before it sank down into a puddle. I was wearing socks. I told my wife, so she went upstairs to tell her dad. When she came back down she came back through our room, also wearing socks. It was while waiting for the emergency plumber that I saw this post.
So what happened to the pipes?
Handyman thinks lack of use in the basement lead to a clog that built up over the years. Years before Airbnb they were renting out the apartment through the local tourism department because there aren’t a lot of hotels here but it’s a scenic area. But they stopped as they got older so now it only sees use for a couple weeks twice a year when we come. But when we come with 3 people it puts more pressure on the waste line and starts backing up, and finally became a problem tonight.
He thinks there’s a drain in the floor of our bedroom and somebody just put down laminate flooring overtop of it. There should be a drain somewhere but he doesn’t see one, and given the water intrusion there as the other drains were backing up that’s his best guess. Won’t know for sure until he pulls up the floor this week, though.
Wow. That's bad luck for you. I wonder if that is why basement floor drain at our house was going against the housing code..
thanks, RADIOHEAD
Digging your friend a grave. Digging your friend a grave. When the road gets, tough ahead you can just dig a grave for your friend instead.
...Explain how I gave myself ADHD and Autism?

There's a meta joke in here somewhere...
Hay! I did it to others as well.
I feel better already
I actually feel a little worse.
You did it to yourself.
My arch nemesis strikes again!
holy shit friend inside me is roasting me
What a relief, I don't have to go on that doomed quest for vengeance after all.
I mean I did ask for the bilateral bofaectomy so I guess kinda? Strictly speaking though there was a team of surgeons involved so… also no?
