If it's a tooth brush it's unflushable. Not that I would USE that toothbrush again....

4. If it is ...

one of the kids, try to get them out.
They can really plug the system.


Well the toilet crazy, yesterday afternoon
The plumber he said, never flush a tampoon
This great information cost me half a weeks pay
And the toilet blew up later on the next day

6. Happened to me the other day.........

...... a deodorant aerosol can cap dropped in the toilet. As it happened there was "liquid" in it that hadn't been flushed yet. I knew the cap wouldn't go down so I took it out. I washed my hands with bleach right after that. If it was a public toilet it would have stayed.

Isn't this a pleasant thread.

7. You'd be surprised what will clog a toilet

I keep a set of rubber gloves under the sink as well as a toilet snake and a bent coathanger.

8. My landlord

My landlord is a great old guy, and when I got home the other day he was 'chewing out' a neighbor lady, because he had just had to roto-root her sewer line for the third time in as many weeks. I heard her say "But the box says you can't just flush them (I assume tampons, or sanitary pads)", and he replied "Then use the G*d damned BOX to unclog your sewer line next time, because I'M getting damned sick and tired of it!". :P

9. She flushed tampons for three consecutive weeks?

Yikes.

Maybe she's having trouble with an eager, but not very mathematically gifted, boyfriend. ;-)
