Clogging toilet question

[TrudyCampbell]

ETA- TMI (this post used to live on the poo board)

My husband clogged our toilet the other day and I complained to him that he was using too much toilet paper. He claimed he does not use too much toilet paper and it is just the size of his poop that clogs the toilet. 

Is this even possible? I have never had a poop that could clog a toilet on it's own.

It's very possible, unfortunately, and very embarrassing.

[sharknado]

I do it. Often

[NothingWrongwithOhio]

I do it on a weekly basis in our new apartment.

I've had this happen a couple times. It's really embarrassing because I don't know how to use the plunger so I have to ask H. I'm normally ok with poop talk but he doesn't need to see it.

[flamingeaux]

It's DH's specialty.

[MWOS]

I think by "embarrassing" you guys mean "worthy of pride"

[jane6672]

You are hereby banished to the poop board.

What happened to the poop board?

[EmilieMadison]

Growing up, I had a friend who lived in a really old farm house. Their plumbing was extra narrow. There was a coffee cup full of plastic knives on the back of the toilet. Yes. For that.

Wait. Are the poop and farts posts being pushed out onto ML??

[psychmom]

I knew it was to good to be true

Dh does this like once a week.

I'm almost curious enough to ask to see it.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! It's GONE!??

Does that all mean the 1000 likes I got are gone too?

Those FUCKERS!

It looks like they've been dumped on ML.



Like that?

H and I had this very conversation years ago. I, too, doubted the existence of poop big enough to clog the toilet. I demanded evidence.

It's real, kids. And what has been seen cannot be unseen

I did ask to see it. Don't go there. Trust me.

How does one not know how to use a plunger? Put it in the toilet, plunge.

Ha, I can never get enough suction so it will go down. 

Eta- and the plunger lip thing always reverses.

I have wide-set intestines, okay?!?!?

We have one toilet in our house (it's an old toilet) that is for pee only. Virtually any sized poop will clog it.

[cookies]

Yes, it's possible. There's something about my poop that clogs toilets and I can't figure out how to make it stop. I have clogged a toilet in every state/country I've visited. In fact, I'm pretty sure we aren't allowed back at the hotel we stayed at in Savannah when we had to leave a clogged toilet along with a really sizeable tip in apology.

When I was dating my husband, we stayed with his friends and their parents at their house at Big Bear Lake. I clogged a toilet and my husband's friend's dad had to unclog it for me. I will never forgive myself for it.

We have one bathroom that is for pee only. Weird toilet (dear God, I hope no one who is at dinner party poops in it, because it is the one they would use!). I clogged it when we first moved in. Had to call an effing plumber because no amount of plunging or snaking would work. I did not overuse the tp either.
Luckily I now have a poop bathroom (we have 5 full baths..so not a problem). I want to go on etsy and have a signed made "The Ghost poops here" or "fGPPO" (for ghost's pooping purposes only!)

You're using the wrong type of plunger.  The one on the left, although it CAN work on toilets, is meant for sinks and tubs.  The one on the right is for toilets.

Hold on.  The picture is being an ass.

I used to do this in high school. I think it's toilet-dependent as I haven't done it since I moved out.

[TrudyCampbell]

Sorry, guys, this was originally on the poop board! But I appreciate all the input. My husband wins this poop argument, lol.

[macmars45]

I have really big poop. Using too much toilet paper has never been my problem. I wish it was because that seems way less embarrassing than huge poop.

The secret to long life is a clean colon.


If this means clogging the toilet, then so be it.

[Beeps (WOT?*)]

I am a professional toilet unclogger, thanks to Kidlet and her encopresis. It's not the toilet paper.  Fun times.

How is this possible?

DS has been competent with a plunger since he was eight and backed up one of the Totos at my mom's house. He's pretty deft with a snake as well.
