my toilet is clogged

lostwords

and there's poo water EVERYWHERE. it is so gross. oh my god, it won't stop overflowing. and my puny plunger is no match, even though i was pumping for a good 20 minutes. I went to walmart to try to find a toilet snake, but they didn't have one, so i had to settle for liquid plumber, which i hope works. but yeah, this is not a good way to start the morning. but on the bright side, i had mcd's breakfast. their coffee is pretty decent

so se++, if the liquid plumber doesn't work, what do i do? i don't wanna call a plumber because man, they are pricey.

so hows your morning? anything exciting going on?

BYToady

I just got home, I'm going to take a shower in a non-poo water covered bathroom.

All in all, I rate my morning a solid 5

You've never met lost, have you?

He has dainty girl hands.

next time you should try digesting properly

and learn to use that plunger properly
cant just stick it in there and wiggle it around
gotta get a vacuum going

Auntie Shibby

Well, I guess you're just stuck with a clogged toilet and a bathroom never to be used again.

BYToady

Grab a few boxes of jello mix and come back in a couple hours with a shovel.

Wouldn't that typically be a boon to unclogging a toilet manually?

At least you didn't do it at someone else's house.

NotASenator

I always enjoy how someone can face an emergency and immediately there's a dumbshit in the thread to tell you that "you are doing it wrong"

Auntie Shibby

You should make chocolate pudding in the toilet and sell it at a profit.

take your toilet up off the floor to see where the clog is

Air

grab a bucket
pour some chlorine in the bottom of it
and hope that it covers the smell of your new toilet

is this gonna cause poisonous gas? i failed college chem, so i have no clue.

but i also bough tons of cleaning junk at walmart, so i'm gonna clean like the dickens once i have this under control. bah.

also, bytoady, holy crap, that jello idea is brilliant. i may try that, especially since we haven't turned the heat on yet and it is cold as balls at our place.

Bin liner over your arm and down you go.

If your toilet's clogged, you might want to reconsider that McDonald's breakfast.

there are 2 bolts in the floor that youll have to unscrew

then lift straight up, there may be some resistance due to the wax gasket between the floor and the toilet

if water rushes out the toilet, then the clog is in the pipe

if theres no water rushing out, then the clog is in the toilet trap

go to the hardware store and buy a metal plumbing snake, thatll take care of any clogs once you know where they are

BYToady

Oh man lostwords, if you do try that, I want a photodocumentary also, I think it is a terrible idea to listen to my advice.

Air

get some eels

yeah, i was planning on going after work, since nothing else is open right now. i just went to walmart because they were 24 hours and this was at 5:30 am.

also, huh, you can lift the toilet? i don't know, how much does it weigh? see, this is why i need a strong, burly man in the house to take care of all my home problems

Burn the house down.

but its a condo! and i don't wanna make the crazy cat lady that lives next door homeless. i mean, what will happen to her 20 cats?

Meiz

Are you wiping your ass with badgers then flushing?

That could be the problem right there

Blake T

This could probably be in the poop thread you know.

It's quite closely related.

Or would that turn the poop thread into a megathread?

BigDes

Well you should have thought of that before pooping.

well, the poop thread seems to be for the act of pooping. i guess this thread can deal with the consequences of pooping, when poops stop being polite and start being real

BYToady

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_79ohh1_dBk The best option.

Blake T

I like the idea of a poop megathread.

Air

yea man that poop thread just glorifies pooping

Auntie Shibby

All I found out from the youtube link is that girls can't unclog a toilet.

BYToady

But boooooy can they clog em.

Auntie Shibby

Poopy tampons

BYToady

Unwanted babies clog toilets up something fierce.

Auntie Shibby

It's their unborn revenge.

BYToady

Gotta use the kitchen sink's garbage disposal.

Auntie Shibby

Actually, I'm pretty stoked that semen doesn't clog a toilet.
