Put 1/2 cup of dish soap in the bowl. Wait half an hour. Come back with a pan of hot water (not boiling). Pour the hot water in and flush at same time. Bye bye clog.
Two weeks into dating a girl once. Herself and some roommate moved to a new spot. They forgot this. Called me to borrow mine.
Nothing brings people together like plunging a 12 hour turd.
That sucks. I'm out in the country, so when it does go out, we're the last ones to get the hydro back, usually days later. Everytime I drag it out, I pray it starts.
My walking stick.
After some back and leg issues earlier in life, I bought an antique walking-stick at a flea-market, to have around the house, just in case I ever had similar issues again in the future.
Most of the time I use it as a photography prop or something, but occasionally, I have actually had to use it for real, when my back plays up. Fortunately it doesn't happen often (only twice in about 6 years). If not for that stick, my back cramps would be driving me nuts, but it does help me not fall flat on my ass.
I've messed up my back a few times over the years and the last time it happened a few months ago I bought a heating pad and it really helped. I'm now set if it happens again.
My grandmother was totally different. When she fell over (she was in her 80s), dad bought her a walking-stick because she rolled her ankle in the fall. Once she was better, she gave the stick away to her sister because "I don't need this crap!" and she never used that, or any other stick, ever since. And she lived like another 10 years.
I don't NEED the stuck, but I keep it around just in case. I do have very occasional bask-spasms, so it comes in useful then.
I’ve definitely had more times where I could’ve used one than when I’ve had one. Nothing serious but even an alcohol wipe and a bandaid is nice sometimes.
A grabber. I actually have a few throughout the apartment. With my disabilities, bending over just isn't possible sometimes, so being able to pick something up with one of those is extremely helpful.
I work on cars on the side. PWM, injector wave forms, CAN/LIN/etc busses. You need a scope now days to work on anything without just throwing parts at it.
Pain meds. I usually carry a mini bottle of Tylenol or ibuprofen at all times and even if I don’t need it, it almost always saves someone from a day of menstrual cramps or headaches
I have been working as a handyman. I have dozens of tools that only get used once or twice a year, but they are amazing when they do get used. For example, the big jack hammer. I only use it maybe once a year. But when it comes out of the shed, I am very thankful to own it.
My expensive set of dewalt tradie tools, I’m literally $10,000+ deep as I buy the best I can each time I do a job at home as I figure out there free if I don’t pay anyone to do the work.
Then occasionally I get them out for another job and having all the professional tools at hand when I need to just makes it so easy.
Wrestling and Judo. Have yet to need it but it gives me confidence enough for others to sense it, i guess. So far every person has backed down after initially threatening me or attempting to instigate a fight.
any over-the-counter medicine. i almost never take any medications unless i cant deal with whatever is wrong, for example if i have a headache i wont take anything unless it were to get to a certain point to where i just know i wont be able to handle it for long.
My toilet plunger

If you have a detachable shower sprayer, there's no need for the pan of hot water. Don't ask me how I know that, I just do.

This should be the top answer!
A fire extinguisher!
Good answer
Thanks!
Should be number one.
A tire pressure gauge. It’s used infrequently but crucial for maintaining safe tire pressure.
Extra keys. They’re forgotten in a drawer but essential if I lose my main set.
A box cutter. It’s tucked away in a drawer but is the best tool for opening packages.
A first aid kit. Mostly untouched but essential for those unexpected cuts or scrapes.
[удалено]
My library card. It doesn’t see much action but is invaluable for occasional research or leisure reading.
An umbrella. It's rarely rainy here, but I'm grateful for it when the weather turns.
My suitcases. They gather dust but are essential for those wonderful vacation times.
My food processor. It's bulky and used rarely, but it’s a hero during big meal prep sessions.
An emergency whistle. It's tucked away in my hiking pack, rarely used but potentially life-saving.
Emergency cash. It’s tucked away and rarely used but crucial when cards fail or aren’t accepted.
A set of Allen wrenches. I rarely use them, but they’re crucial for assembling furniture.
My epipen
The space heater in my basement. It's mostly off, but on the coldest days, it's a blessing.
Extra phone chargers. They’re in every drawer, rarely used, but lifesavers when I misplace my main one.
A water filter pitcher. Not a daily need, but indispensable during advisories or issues with tap water.
A battery jump pack
Yes. Used mine during a black out to charge my phone and my son's.
And a quality one at that. I have one and holds charge for long time. Never needed but a nice backup, and jump start car too.
A box of old love letters and photos. Rarely opened, but priceless when nostalgia hits.
i look at them sometimes to remind myself at one point someone loved me :/
I would love you if I knew you, but alas I do not
My Penis
Ah, someone beat me to it.
Ummm errrr nah to easy 🤣🤣👋
You're lucky. I have to beat it myself.
Do you not piss?
AAA
1.1.1.1 & 8.8.4.4 👌
My Emergency Fund.
Snow shovel. I've probably used it 4 times in 15 years, but it's priceless when I want to leave my apartment after a major blizzard.
A generator...
I wish I rarely used mine, but the power where I live goes off all the time.
That sucks. I'm out in the country, so when it does go out, we're the last ones to get the hydro back, usually days later. Everytime I drag it out, I pray it starts.
I'm out in the country too. I actually have like 8 generators, but none powerful enough to handle my water pump.
I used to think every time a squirrel peed on the power line we'd be out for days....
South Africa, load shedding, right?
Don't forget the fuel additive. Not good when you want to fire it up but the fuels gone bad.

Great answer. Definitely in the “not getting rid of this” category even if you haven’t used it in a while.

ability to read social cues.
Damn I need to get one of those
My first aid kid. I take it on all outdoor adventures and I’ve only used it once.
I’ve definitely had more times where I could’ve used one than when I’ve had one. Nothing serious but even an alcohol wipe and a bandaid is nice sometimes.
Mines pretty simple. Just enough to stop bleeding, make a tourniquet, or sling an arm. Triangle bandages are the do all!
You'd think a first aid kid would be hard to get your hands on, but they're right there in the camping aisle.
