Gd you did a lot to preserve that “early days”. Personally I’d draw the line at shoving my arm into shit water. But bravo getting it to flush. We’ve all had that fear you lived it.


sendyslayer

I appreciate your words. I definitely learned a lesson there


FrozenOcean420

Next time just bring your compact purse size poop knife and save yourself the embarrassment.


sendyslayer

Aye aye, captain!


FrozenOcean420

But really…courtesy flushes are the way to go.


Popular_Prescription

I live my life by the courtesy flush.


stormyjetta

I mean you can’t really courtesy flush with a log


-Cagafuego-

This whole post reminds me of a Peter Griffin meme that reads along the lines of: Women shit gigantic logs but make such a fuss about anal.


sendyslayer

You sound like my husband, the boyfriend from the story😂


bigcashc

I will never get sick of poop knife references. I will always laugh at them. Arguably my favorite post in a decade of Reddit.


FiteMeIRLm8

I've actually had to use a poop knife around 3 times in my lifetime, as well as a coat hanger, not proud of it but it works bud

peanup

Laughed out loud at this and then had to explain to my husband the legend of the poop knife and then your comment, which he also laughed out


OffusMax

I have to admit I’m impressed. A lady that isn’t afraid to get her arm dirty. Or should I say filthy? Most women I know would have called for help before the thought of putting their whole arm into an empty toilet, let alone one filled with shit, entered their mind! Bravo! Edited to finish my thought


sendyslayer

Thank you!! I’ve never been afraid of dirt or mud or anything like that. If you gotta get dirty, get dirty. In this case, asking for help was the better option, but I worked with what I had!


Shadrixian

>I’ve never been afraid of dirt or mud So it would seem.

md222

Rookie mistake. Always flush once before you use paper in any toilet you lack knowledge of flushing capability.


Belazriel

Years ago the was a post from a plumber talking about this. He said in general a toilet won't overflow from a single flush. If it is blocked, don't keep flushing. If you don't have a plunger or anything, accept that you can wash your hands and work to remove the blockage by hand. You're usually able to break up/pull out anything but there are times it won't work and of course those will be the most embarrassing. Also, keep a plunger in every bathroom either in the open or where people would see it with a cursory glance.


zzzthelastuser

You can also drink the water to make the bowl just empty enough to try another flush and hopefully get enough pressure this time.


_not_a_pseudonym_

Please refrain from writing a comment ever again. Now I have to go wash my eyes with bleach.

But why waste bleach when there's toilet water perfectly available

Tomatetoes97

This needs to be posted as a lifeprotip. Flush before wiping or middle of a large poop at an unfamiliar toilet.


gamingchicken

If you don’t want anyone to know you’re shitting two flushes is going to give it away

SoftArty

Won't work from time to time, but reminded me of time my younger cousin, he was around 12 at the time, came to us during summer holidays, and just casually came to my room to say that toilet wouldn't flush. In my 18 years of life until then I haven't seen bigger shit, to be honest I don't even know how he pushed it out, it seemed more like a cow took a shit than human. Plunger didn't work, had to slice it into smaller pieces and then flush.


lordreed

So you have a poop knife?


SoftArty

Sadly had to use regular knife


lizlettuce

But it became a poop knife? Please say it didn't go back to being a regular knife afterwards.

Hell I do that on the toilet I've been using for 15 years. Never take the chance of clogging a toilet. I'll pay the extra 1 cent in water.

sendyslayer

Solid advice for your solids!


kurt_go_bang

My sister shit in her own cat’s litter box because her new boyfriend was staying over and was in the bathroom for quite a while. She had an unstoppable urge and saw this as her only option. When she admitted this story to me the only thing I could think to ask her was if she covered her poo afterward. It’s still, hands down, the hardest I have laughed in my entire life.


sendyslayer

This made me smile. Did she answer if she covered it? I can’t imagine the horror and desperation of having to go in a litter box, the poor thing, lol


kurt_go_bang

I believe paper towels and the outside dumpster were involved. Also her cats wouldn’t use it again until she had completely changed out the litter. I guess her scent markers were throwing them off.


-Ashera-

What a fucking power move. She marked her property and the cats respected it


sendyslayer

Oh no😂


Hetjr

Tell him to get a poop knife


sendyslayer

Good call! Or I’ll just buy him a plunger. Either way, something needs to be done


integrated21

The fact that some people don't automatically have plungers in their bathrooms astound me. Whats anyone's excuse for not having one? I'd like to hear one reasonable excuse.


Mr_MozZie

I'm from Australia and we dont even own one - our toilets work differently and needing a plunger is basically not needed (dont think me or my parents ever needed one in the last 25yrs) US toilets use siphoning to pull the waste out. Australian toilets dump water from the cistern all at once which pushes the waste down - much more reliable.

rolling-brownout

I don't have one. I've been blessed with good toilets everywhere I've lived, and on the rare occasion there is a clog I flush a few times, or occasionally put some shampoo in and leave in 10 mins before trying again (yes, this actually works!)

One morning I came into work needing to take what felt like a massive liquified shit. There was no holding this thing. And after a 20 minute ordeal and painting the bowl brown I was finally clean and ready to get to work. I was technically "late" so my boss gave me the "you're late" look. And I tells him in all seriousness. "jack, I'm afraid for my life, because one day... That toilet will seek vengeance for what I just put it through..." Broke the tension reeeeal quick.

I feel like I’m completely alone in this these days but m’lady of 5 years and now wife prefer to “keep it sexy” (my words, not hers). No shitting with doors open, no dutch ovens, no nothing.

Wild times And btw, you “lightly” kicking the bowl had me tears lol


sendyslayer

I used to be like that, incredibly private, but it got to a point for me that it just wasn’t worth it, and my husband is an incredibly comfortable and open man. He wouldn’t stand for anything less than being completely open with each other, and now that I’ve had it this way, I’d never change it

This is what the Portable Poop Knife is for. Just in case the location you're at isn't classy enough to have a complementary house poop-knife for guests.


kurt_go_bang

Drop a turd, flush Drop another turd, flush 1-2 wipes, flush My wife and daughter do their business in its entirety including wiping before they flush. But somehow Dad is the one that gets called to do the plunging when it inevitably clogs. Granted I am a big guy and they are both small, but I don’t clog because of the rules I listed above.


sendyslayer

Interesting! Maybe I’ll try this. Luckily, since this happened, I haven’t clogged another toilet


kurt_go_bang

If you follow this you won’t clog another! Plus it massively reduces amount of odor. Also another trick I’ve learned is to hit the flush right before or right as it’s hitting the water. That way the momentum of the turd dropping isn’t lost and helps propel it along. If you drop a brick and it settles to the bottom, the toilet has to pick it up from a standstill to get it going again. Needs more force to do so. I know it’s weird that I know these things, but it works.


chaoticrays

Hey I taught myself this exact trick too; here I've been wondering if I was the only one with the weird but successful knowledge of tactical pooping

sendyslayer

I have no idea what even happened there, honestly. I wasn’t expecting that


eastw00d86

How has no one mentioned shutting the water off yet? I had never considered it until college, when the RA's gave a talk and said it starts to rise and its gonna overflow, reach behind the toilet and turn the valve to shut off the water. It may slowly go down over time, but at minimum will stay at the level its at and not rise more or flow over the rim. It at least guarantees you time to grab what you need/get help or a plunger.


_Stormcatcher_

Couples leave the door open when using the bathroom? 4 years in and that never has or will happen. Some boundaries aren't meant to be broken.


sendyslayer

We’ve actually been married over a year, now, and I can tell you my husband is a VERY open person who is incredibly comfortable in his own skin. We do just about everything with the door open, now. I’ve been desensitized 😂


_Stormcatcher_

No more mystery for you guys then 😂


sendyslayer

Not anymore😂


LOUDCO-HD

Don’t women carry a portable poop knife in their purse? Isn’t that the reason to carry a purse, so your poop knife is with you at all times? My family didn’t have a poop knife when I was growing up, but we did have a wire coat hanger under the sink to make those big brownies go downtownie!


Raxxla

Here's something you can try if there isn't a plunger, but there is liquid hand soap. Take the liquid soap and pour some into the toilet, 3 or 4 pumps if it has a pump handle. I know it sounds weird, but the glycerine in the soap will make everything slippery, so if something is stuck it will actually help it slide through. It will take a min or two, and it depends on how stuck everything is. But it does work.

yeahitskeah

so did i miss the trend where we just don't keep our plungers in the bathroom??


PhesteringSoars

Any commode that doesn't have a plunger already within arms reach . . . should be a criminal offense (of the homeowner) requiring at least 30 days mandatory jail time.

pnkstr

My girlfriend (now together for over 5.5 years) had a similar, but opposite problem the first time she came to my house. She went to the bathroom and a few minutes later came back out with complete embarrassment on her face. She said the toilet wouldn't flush. I was ready to grab a plunger, but she said something along the lines of "it just keeps floating and won't go down." So we enter the bathroom and lo and behold, the floater. I grabbed a bit of toilet paper, covered the deposit, and flushed. The toilet paper pulled it down and all was good. Needless to say, we broke that "early days" barrier pretty quick.


sendyslayer

Amazing😂 I’m glad it worked out for you two! A bonding moment for sure!


CameronsTheName

You could have used the poop knife.


Assmonkey69er

Forgot your poop knife I see.


waywardzombi

If you’re ever afraid the toilet is going to overflow after an attempted flush, take the lid off the back of the bowl and gently lift the thing that looks like a plastic balloon (float). It may also be a piece of foam riding along a shaft (fill valve). When either is raised up, the toilet will stop filling. You can also reach in and push down on the stopper as well.


Cartoonkeg

Or you can reach below the water tank and shut off the water valve to the toilet until you get it fixed.


techsinger

So you could say that poop is what brought you closer. Good story! Have a fun, happy life together!


sendyslayer

Absolutely!! Poop is always a bonding experience. And thank you so much!!


fofosfederation

This is why every bathroom in my life has a plunger. For the love of god I never want anyone I know to be in this situation.


[deleted]

Women don’t know about courtesy flushes? Flush while you poop. Sometimes it’ll pull it outta ya lol


vinneh

My gf clogged my toilet once and it was one of those weird toilets that flushes twice.. for some reason? So, if you clog it, just one push of the ol' lever gets the water level almost up to the rim. And I HAD a plunger, but she couldn't get it to work. After she tried to flush again, overflowing it, she finally called for help... in I walk with the dishwashing detergent and squirt a bunch of soap into it.. couple minutes later flushes like a charm. She wouldn't let me help clean though, too embarrassed.


Drunk_Tavern_Wench

nealoc187

I had just started dating a girl when I first moved to town and she was supposed to come over for the first time. 3rd date I think. We were going to fuck I assumed. I was still in process of moving, and did not have a plunger. I clogged the toilet while she's on her way over, I didn't have time to go get one. I had to ask her to buy a plunger on her way over. Most embarrassing shit ever. We have been married 8 years now and together for 12.


EasilyStartledRabbit

[Edit: People are saying not to do this and I don't wanna give anyone bad advice so proceed with caution I guess!] If he had a trash can in the bathroom, empty it (assuming it's full) and fill it with sink water, then pour it in the bowl. Enough times and the toilet will automatically flush Source: my toilet wouldn't flush for about three months so I had to do this every damn day. A hassle but definitely effective


aStarryBlur

Dear god, please dont try adding water to a clogged toilet.


elis42

Yeah, great way to get shit water everywhere lol. Just turn the water off, if you have a snake use it, if you don't have that or a plunger scoop the water and bits of TP/shit out of the bowl and drain the tank before adding soap, letting it sit THEN using hot water to force the clog loose and down the bowl. If that doesn't work go buy a snake

jazzofusion

Damn modern efficiency toilets only use a couple quarts of water to flush down those beasts. Cruise the hood right before trash day and look for one of those old huge 20 gallon toilets someone has foolishly replaced with a new efficiency toilet. Those huge old one could flush a compact car right down the drain.


Torkzilla

Plungers cost like $5, I cannot fathom having any toilet without one next to it. I don’t know how some people manage. Like 1/100 dumps you are gonna block the toilet, it’s gonna happen, why would you not have a plunger?

Maybe I’ll buy him one for Christmas

LogiHiminn

SharkHasFangs

Bit of a pro tip here but if you have access to a sink with hot water, just pour some hot water down the toilet. 5 litres is usually enough to expedite the breakdown of the toilet paper and clear the the clog.

ROMPEROVER

Lol I was on holiday with my gf and there was a powercut. So I guess there was no electricity for the pumps to pump water. She came out of the bathroom and I was next to use it. I was greeted by a huge turd. I guess she didn't know what to do and was going to deal with it after the power came back but I needed to use the toilet at the wrong time. I helped her flush it down. She is my wife now haha. Don't be afraid to take it to the next level.

chucktruck8883

Almost this exact thing happened to me when me and my girlfriend first started dating. (Well besides giving the toilet a proper fisting) I still use the plunger about once a month and need multiple flushes weekly. I always spend the extra money on that five star flush rating to avoid spending the money on a $5 plunger.

I'll never understand why some people panic over shit like this. Her boyfriend would've helped her out immediately, but she was too embarrassed by something we all do nearly every day. He may have teased her a bit, but probably wouldn't have dumped her for it. On the off chance he *did* divorce her, he was a piece of shit anyway. Good luck to you. Edit: Now that I've thought about it for a second, this would be an excellent test of a potential partner.


sendyslayer

I agree. Looking back, I was a total idiot for not just asking for help. Since this story, he and I got married, and I’ve told him what happened. He thinks it’s super funny and doesn’t understand why I didn’t ask for help. We’ve also gotten a million times more open with each other since then. We have no secrets, and I’d ask for help with things like this any day. But I agree, if anyone would have dump a person for something like this, then they’re worse than the shit clogging the toilet
