How Many People Get Stuck On The Toilet Each Year

Kleenex is stuck in the toilet?

Yeah, a kleenex shouldn't do that. But I'm going to forge ahead and assume that it really is just a plug of toilet paper and tissues, and not something solid stuck in the toilet or a toilet malfunction.

If it drains AT ALL, just leave it alone until more than half, but not quite all of the water drains, then pour in rather a lot of dish detergent. Not like half a bottle, but at least 1/4 cup. Leave it for an hour or so. Or more. Then run a big pot of hot tap water. Not boiling or anything, just as hot as what comes out of your tap. Pour that from about waist high into the bowl. Chances are good that'll dislodge the clog and you'll be home free. If that doesn't work you'll need a toilet auger. They're readily available at any hardware store, and not particularly expensive.

If THAT doesn't work, then you may need to make friends with someone who's handy and knows toilets, because it's either broken or you'll need to remove the toilet to get at the clog.

PAD STUCK IN THE TOILET HELP !?

You might be able to pull it out with a bent wire coat hanger.

Good luck.

How to get a toilet auger unstuck?

Turning it counter clockwise, you already tried. Short of taking your toilet off. I can't help you. It's not that hard to remove your toilet. Turn off your water supply to your toilet, flush your toilet. Remove the water line to your tank. There are to nut on the base of your toilet, one on each side. Remove the nuts, rock your toilet loose, support your tank and lay your toilet on it's side, check the bottom of your toilet and what is hooked on to your auger. Remove the auger and check your trap from the bottom to make sure nothing ells is in there. Remember it was flushing slow. If all is clear, check your wax ring, the seal between your toilet and the drain pipe. Replace your toilet, make sure you support the tank. Replace the nuts, the water line and fill your tank. Flush and check for leaks. Good luck.

How can I unclog a toilet with a bar of soap stuck in it?

There are alot of really bad answers on here - Number one - pouring boiling water in your toilet will likely crack it because of the non-uniform temperature change and then you'll need a new toilet. Two using a coat hanger in your toilet will 99 times out of a hundred scratch the dickens out of the enamel in the toilet making you wish you needed a new toilet. Yes you could probably wait and wait and wait and wait for the soap to dissolve but if you dont feel like waiting the answer is a toilet auger which should have a rubber 90 on it to prevent scratching your toilet up to bits. If you stick it two feet or so and turn the handle for a while you'll break the soap up into pieces. Another thing which I might try if I were there would be to just use a large shop vac if you have one - place the hose in toilet and seal it down in the hole in the bottom of the bowl by placing a hand towel around it - if the vaccuum's powerful enough - I often find I can suck toys, dog bones, etc up and avoid pulling toilets off the floor to remove objects. Good Luck.

Do American people really throw up in the toilet as shown in the movies when they feel sick? Isn’t that kind of gross? Why not use the kitchen sink?

We put our face above the toilet seat and puke into the bowl. We do not put our faces into the bowl!Puking into the bathroom or kitchen sink runs the risk of clogging the sink, especially for a bathroom sink.Puking standing up runs the risk of missing or only partially hitting the bowl, and having to clean up the mess from the floor. It’s hard to be accurate when you are heaving your guts up.Who has time to run to the kitchen sink when you are going to hurl any second?I don’t know anyone who has ever puked into a toilet bowl that still had . . . other stuff . . . in it. The other stuff gets flushed so the only thing sitting in the bowl is water.If we are sick in bed and think we may not make it to the bathroom, we keep a large bowl near us so we can spew into it. This is common practice when younger kids are sick, as they can’t always tell when they are going to vomit until the last second.You can always vomit outside too!

You are stuck in a 10,000 square-feet room for one year with 99 members of the other gender. What happens and what would you do?

Is there a toilet as well?What is the age of the said members of the other gender?Are they all heterosexuals?Is there enough ventilation to provide air for all of us?How big is the room? Can we walk around comfortably?This is what would happen, regardless of the above things. Within a few hours or days we’re going to have a couple of mental breakdowns. Crying, screaming women everywhere. Then some of the more dominant ladies would start “manning up” and take control of the situation. Cliques and gangs would be formed, just like in any prison. There’ll be conflicts.As I’d be the only male around, there’ll be some competition for me. My male pheromones will turn a few ladies’ heads in some time, no matter how attractive I am. I may become the source of more conflict. However I’d reject the ladies, as I have someone waiting for me. This pretty much settles it.In a week or so we’ll become a stinky lot of desperate humans, no matter of our sexes. In a few more days most of us would just accept that there’s no way out of here. Some crude society would start to form, depending on the available resources. Food may be plenty, but how about beds? Who shall sleep on the bottom and the top bunk? Who shall clean up after the others? These are still the same questions which would arise in an everyday prison too.And then there’ll eventually be some girl-on-girl action. Women crave oxytocine, and the only way to obtain it is clitoral orgasm. There are a few other methods too, but they are nowhere near as efficient. Actually this is the reason why straight men find male homosexuals and gay porn repulsive, but still get aroused by the view of women having sex with each other. Homosexual affection between women is somewhat natural. Most women had homoerotic experiences in their young teenage years. In ancient times, when men were away hunting and providing for the family, females often cuddled and comforted each other, and this often lead to erotic action. The view of women sexually arousing each other is naturally exciting for a man because it means that firstly, the ladies are alone, so there is no competition around, secondly, they are deprived of sex, therefore receptive. Now you know why your “homophobic” friend hates gays but still watches lesbian porn. Instincts.

I flushed a halved soap bar down the toilet and it's stuck now, the toilet isn't clogged, but water does 100% flow. It's probably stuck. How do I fix this? Would hot water work?

I've been a plumber since 1995, including a formal 5 b year JATC apprenticeship. These all look like good answers. One thing to be careful of is cracking the porcelain toilet due to sudden temperature changes between hot and cold water. Its not likely to happen but its possible. I've never seen it happen myself but o have heard a few anecdotes over the years of situations where the hot water line was crossed with the cold water line. So toilet refilled with hot water after each flush and eventually the toilets in those anecdotes all ended up cracking. Personally, I would just flush the toilet a few more times to get some water passing by it to help dissolve it . If you can't reach it in the s trap of the toilet, then it's probably hung up at the closet flange, maybe due to a choked down wax ring that are sometimes needed on the very low flow toilets that rely on the head pressure that's built up due to the restriction which makes for a more powerful flush. Once the soap clears the closet flange (located flush to the floor toilet is bolted to. It's what's holding the other ends of the 2 bolts that hold your toilet to the floor), it will drop into , most likely, a 4″ waste line and should not be an issue. There's a possibility that it's connected to a 3″ line but still shouldn't be a problem.
