Grumbling is, surprisingly, a good thing

@kezmusc always the way!  Our last plumbing disaster happened when the wash8ng mach8ne was also out of order. Normally you’d think this wasn’t a big issue but the plumbing issue was a clogged toilet - now for some strange reason (I think ancient house plumbing we live in an Edwardian) the toilet, bath and shower share the same plumbing. Hubby thinking he is doing the right thing plunges the toilet which sends poo toilet paper and general sewerage back up the plumbing and out the shower drain hole. Being an oblivious male he doesn’t notice and continues to plunge the toilet until sewerage is coming out the shower door and flooding the bathroom. Cue towels going on the floor to slop this up and stop it from running out into the hallway. Now you can see why no washing machine is a problem. I have a vague recollection this was at the time I had the lumpectomy so I was out of action and hubby had to do all the cleanup
