I’ve blocked the loo in a really expensive hotel room!

[Iimaginethiswillbefun]

Erm how do I get rid of it!!

I’ve tried the loo brush - nada!

Help!

Buy some bleach and/or cut it up with a stick

Get your hand down there.

Bathroom bin, fill it with hot water tip it in the pan from a high height.

Coat hanger? (A metal one!)

Any wire coat hangers around? Open it out so it’s straight and have a good poke around should do it! Or throw a few kettles of boiling water down it

Mum, is that you?

Go for a walk and get a stick (strong enough not to snap and make it worse!)

Assuming the blockage is biological rather than 'lady products' or excessive loo roll:

You need a poo knife

More practical - use the kettle in your room to heat some water and then pour on said blockage (best not have the water actually boiling though in case you crack the ceramic - hot - very hot will do). Leave the hot water to soften the blockage for 20-30 mins then plunge with toilet brush and flush. You may need to repeat a few times. Adding a squirt of soap / shower gel may help soften / lubricate things further.

Am I the only one that would call housekeeping?

The whole point of an expensive hotel (well, at least one of them) is efficient unobtrusive service.

Call housekeeping and tell them that there is a problem with the loo which needs urgently sorting out.

I was wondering this @PurBal - they probably have a plumber on call if it's a large hotel!

I’ve called them and snuck off to breakfast.

Quite right. Unfortunately, that’s part of their job.

Maybe avoid prunes for breakfast 😏

Can i ask what you ate in the last two days? I need to firm up my poo 💩

I’m taking iron tablets my stomach is in shreds. It took me half an hour to go!

I feel for you OP, I react terribly to iron and I often need it. Have you tried bromelain? You can get it in health food shops, it is the extract of pineapple and I find it wonderful, solves the problem painlessly. Might be worth a try.

Sorry just thought that won't help the current problem but might be worth it going forward.

Are you in the States?
I am never sure how the greatest democracy on earth can never muster a decent flush.

This.

I'm currently rending a flat with shit (pun intended) water pressure and even a modest poo jams up the system. The only thing that works is simultaneously flushing and chucking down a bucket - or whatever largish container you have to hand - of preferably hot water.

Try it.

God, the shame of actually asking housekeeping or whoever to actually deal with your own unflushable poo.

@Naaaaah

I know! Put a bag on your hand and get it down there! How disgusting to expect someone else to move your shit for you.

@Yutes

Mum, is that you?

This is a very under appreciated comment

@Yutes I did giggle but am sweating with fear.

Quite right. Unfortunately, that’s part of their job

I really don’t think moving a log that has blocked the toilet because someone is on iron tablets (take fybogel op) is in the job description of a hotel employee. Terrible ‘I pay your wages’ type attitude.
