Anyone else ever just shove a plastic bag around the leak and hope for the best?

Plastic bags are a last resort, but honestly, they rarely hold up under pressure. If you can, shut off the water supply to that fixture—saves a lot of cleanup. Epoxy putty actually works if you knead it well and dry the area first, but yeah, half-asleep attempts usually end up messy. Duct tape’s fine for a few hours, but don’t trust it overnight.
