Oh god! Could you put hand in and pull something out? Then cut off said hand

AppleKatie · 24/12/2018 19:34

Fess up. Fill the washing up bowl with water chuck it down toilet.

Don’t look her in the eye for an hour.

Move on with your life.

Is there a brush? Use it as a makeshift plunger if so.

OldGreyBoots · 24/12/2018 19:34

Fish it out and pitch it out a window? Grin
I'm sorry, I would panic in this situation too (then do the above...)

Ask her for a bucket, wait until the water has gone down. Fill bucket with cold water, hold it high, flush chain and DUMP water in the toilet at the same time.

Then dry where it's splashed.

In in a cold sweat reading this. You need to poke round with a loo brush.

StoorieHoose · 24/12/2018 19:35

Hand in. Break it all up. Flush. Bleach hand (take off rings beforehand!!)

kashleesi · 24/12/2018 19:35

Use the bin as a bucket so you don’t have to ask her Blush

YoungLennyGodber · 24/12/2018 19:36

As much water in the bowl as you can! Plastic bag over your hand and rummage around to unblock it? Grin

Boyskeepswinging · 24/12/2018 19:36

Is there a loo brush in there? You can try sticking it in upside down (i.e. not the brush end) and have a guddle around to move the obstruction.

Kittykat93 · 24/12/2018 19:36

Loo brush and plunge the fuck out of it !!!

WatchingTheWheels85 · 24/12/2018 19:36

Grin sorry that's made me laugh so much

GobblersKnob · 24/12/2018 19:36

Are there no loo tools?

coughingbean · 24/12/2018 19:36

Although it's nasty, can you put your hand in and fish around?

Branleuse · 24/12/2018 19:36

oh god.

Come out, and say " I dont know whos been in there, but theyve blockd the loo and im desperate to go. Its disgusting"

HomerDancing · 24/12/2018 19:36

Oh god !

You need to give it a good poke with something long ! A plastic or metal coat hanger is good if there is possibly one around.

ThomasRichard · 24/12/2018 19:36

I read MSE and stuck a whole load of bleach down it, which, surprisingly, has done naff all. But there are now loads of bubbles so you can’t see the poo! I’m still locked in the bathroom. Argh. I knew I should have said something when it was draining slowly earlier.

Greenglassteacup · 24/12/2018 19:37

Oh God

LadyFlumpalot · 24/12/2018 19:37

Do NOT try and throw it out the window....

This happenszzz

endofthelinefinally · 24/12/2018 19:37

Biological powder and a kettle of boiling water.

ThomasRichard · 24/12/2018 19:37

The bin is a wicker basket. Damn those tasteful bathroom accessories!

Applesandpears23 · 24/12/2018 19:37

Is there any bleach? Put bleach on it, close lid, leave for a bit and hope for the best. Pop back to flush later.

Greenglassteacup · 24/12/2018 19:38

You’ll have to blame it on someone else 😂

HomerDancing · 24/12/2018 19:38

Don’t put the bristle end of the loo brush down there ! It will get paper stuck all over it !
