Staying at MIL’s and I’ve blocked the loo

[ThomasRichard]

It’s flushing but not going anywhere and the bowl is full of poo and loo paper What the heck do I do?!

This is my worst nightmare

Just walk out with your head held high and say 'I've blocked the loo! Have u got a plunger?' Then make a joke of it, better keep it by the loo ready for tomorrow.....it's only going to get worse. Own your toilet antics....shit happens to us all xoxox

Fake your own death is the best suggestion so far.

Real talk you need to put a plastic bag over a toilet brush or mop head - plunge up and down vigorously until it shifts

You could try a few squirts of handwash.. Basically soapy bubbly water filled to top and then after awhile, I don't understand the science but, whoosh!! It will get sucked down the pan.

Ring the landline (anonymously) from your phone to buy yourself time.

The cistern will refill, then flush again.

Ring the landline again (don't speak, play a prank and they won't miss you)

Then text your DH to come to the bathroom.

Good luck !

A washing-up bowl of water has shifted it somewhat but there are still... bits... poking out. Onto bucket #2!

Can't think of anything worse, I once did this in the centre of London where the queue for the toilet was massive! I did the disgusting hand down the loo trick, did absolutely everything I could and it still didn't help so I ended up going for the leg it approach, I walked out as fast as I could with my head down and didn't look back. Luckily there was another toilet 2 minutes away so I could scrub my hand to death!

Useless advice really as you can't leg it from your MILs

Call your DH to the rescue! Perhaps there's a certain loo trick that you don't yet know about

I did this in a posh hotel once. Had to call for help

Shut the lid and go down to dinner, siddle up to MIL and say “I just went to use the loo, but it looks like DH blocked it when he last went. Maybe he didnt notice, is there another loo I can use quickly and then I’ll get him to sort it after dinner?” Hopefully asking to use another loo will throw her off the scent (so to speak) 😬

Put some soap or fairy liquid in, it's meant to break it up a bit! Not too much though haha you don't want more bubbles

It’s no good OP, you’ll have to fake your own phony death I’m afraid.

Bucket #2 has done the trick! Phew! DP was doing an iPoo in the downstairs loo and oblivious.

This reminds me of my Dad one Christmas. He answered the door and said ‘Merry Christmas. The toilet is blocked.”

Phew!

So sorry but this has made me piss myself laughing!
Totally made my evening thanks OP [Grin]

DP has emerged to mansplain to me how to do what I’d just done Apparently he uses the loo-brush holder rather than a washing-up bowl!

Not quite the same but I had the worst case of the runs while staying for the first time with STBXH's friends. Horrible experience. Haven't RTFT so hopefully you sort it.

SausageSimon you stuck your hand down a public toilet!? Even if my bowels had released hellish amounts of shit, there is no way I would EVER stick my hand down a public toilet to unblock it!

@SeaToSki that is genius! Will hold that one in reserve.

Your stories are all much worse than mine

@CarrieBlu I was clearly desperate vile though I know! I tried using something to break it up first but it didn't work so I was convinced I could just sort it to save the embarrassment of having a monster sized poo

Ugh!

Well done op. Bucket of water never fails 🤣
