    Right, I am aware of all this. Just shut the water off and go to the plunger steps.

      Turning off the water will stop the tank from refilling. Closing the flapper stops the water in the tank from going into the bowl.

      I would imagine most people aren’t fast enough on the draw to think about doing this first step.

      That’s another option. Sometimes there is no valve immediately beside the toilet, sometimes it’s crusty af and won’t turn or seal. This can be quicker.
