I have noticed a couple toilet related threads recently, and had my own question/problem. Can you get the damn toilet to flush after you take a crap? I'll be damned if I don't use the plunger 90%+ of the time. Am I messed up? You get bonus points if you have ever broken a hotel toilet. Double extra bonus points if it was so bad they had to put you in a different room.

You must have a half-a-roll hole.

Right now it is worse than usual because I am living in an apartment and the damn toilet is not only small but I think it has low flushing power. (Damn low-flows)

At our old house it was probably 50%

anybody know where I can get one of those high-powered public restroom toilets?  You know, the ones with the 65-PSI nozzle facing down the hole that just blasts the crap down the tubes?  I think that's the answer to the problem.

(as a side note, did anybody else besides me ever take one of those big rubber balls we used to play with in grade school, and jam it in those hi-power toilets, then flush?  If you've never done this, try it. The ball gets launched out of the toilet and bounces off the ceiling.  I spent most of my fourth grade year doing this during recess)

My house is new with the Nazi mandated water saver toilets. They don't flush worth a damn.

Finally figured out the trick. When you flush - HOLD THE LEVER DOWN UNTIL IT FLUSHES. If you continue holding the lever down water continues to flow into the bowl, this helps greatly.

They also make replacement flapper valves with a delayed return feature that does automatically what I just described.

If you have a multi level house try to use the toilet on the upper floor.  You will get greater suction as the water flows down the pipes to the lower level.  I guess if your not getting enough flow you could take a pitcher of water with you to the can and dump it down the hatch as you flush.  This might give you the added flow you've been looking for.  Or better yet, install a water pressure riser in the path of the cans water flow.  Then hold down the handle when flushing like ECS suggested.

The toilet facilties at my workplace use a accumulator hooked to the industrial water utilities.

I have made it my goal to clog one of these damn things and I tell you it cant be done.

I have plopped down stinkys of grandidlio-logrithmic proportions and montumentious monsterific size with a one-foot ultra-wipetronic layer of super-charmen guarenteed shiney-ass cleanliness toilet tissue. One flush and it is ALL gone.....gone!

As a LEO (Lavatory Expulsion Official), I was able to order a pre-ban config toilet directly from the factory on letterhead.  It has a high-capacity tank, retractable seat cover and a splash-suppressor.

Unfortunately, if I sell my home with it installed, I can only sell it to another LEO.  [:D]

Next time you're in Canada buy a couple of
non-restricted flow 2+ gallon toilets.

try using less paper, if you have to through it in the trash can. If it still gets clogged without using paper, you have a serious colosal colon.

Yes, an old theory on the art of crapping. Helps me very little. From the stories I have heard from my dad on the subject, I think I come from a long line of Big Shitters.

Um, yes, you have a problem, and tyhis is coming from someone who clogged up a hotel toilet-when I was 8!  Perhaps you don't need a new toilet, but a new diet.  Just eat a lot of roughage.  I eat a half pound of raw broccoli every day, and my dumps come out smooth, even, and FLUSHABLE!  Just a suggestion here.

Sounds like a case of pre ban and post ban toilets.  Go find a connection to the toilet underground and get a black market toilet that, heaven forbid, actually flushes...

YES that's right, now you too can flush with confidence knowing that it'll all go down without a hitch.and while you're on the pot,

If my wife reads this I am a DEAD man, oh well here goes:

My sister-in-law can plug a toilet better than any guy I know. When she was a baby her crap was so large her mother took her to the doctor, he said she was fine. To this day when she goes on a bombing mission she has to bust up the offending log with a machete just to get it to go down!! I've seen one of her trophys and it looked like a freaking python. I don't know how this girl does it, she's skinny as a rail, maybe her ass unghinges or something.

Hi All!

Well now kiddies, how bout a story from Plumberland?

Once upon a time....

The foreman and I were called to go find out why the toilets in a brand new building we did were plugging. 3.5 gallon tank flush toilets of classic pre-ban style and function with a fully glazed 2" trap, gar-on-teed to take what you give it. Well, this seemed to only happen in the ladies rooms and as the VP of the company was uttering dire threats to us about our toilets, we warned him to tell maintenance staff to NOT TOUCH THE TOILET THAT WAS PLUGGED NOR TO FLUSH IT, we had to see what/how the thrones were being defeated in their intended roles. LO AND BEHOLD gentle readers... upon opening the stall door... what did offend mine eyes? But the MOTHER OF ALL TURDS! It defied logic... it almost broke laws of space and time.. it appeared a mastadon had taken it upon himself to rip its leg off and shove itself into the toilet. UGGGGGGH>..... Would it flush..??? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Not in this lifetime my lad. A mimimum of 3" in diameter and a foot in length. It looked as though someone welded a mass of milk duds together... no joke... unreal. And here this snotty VP was saying the toilets were defective blah blah blah.... We dragged him in and showed it to him.... he ceased his protests soon after.

The epilogue to this tale is, maintenance boy said he knows who did it and it wasnt some fat chick... but a lil' skinny thing. We had to remove the offending turd with implements of destruction after pulling it off the floor. I am still scarred emotionally from the experience. I have NO IDEA how it was passed from a human, much less a small female. The screams from passsing it would have been heard for miles....

the moral to the story is.... take some fiber in your daily diet people... dont let this happen to you!
