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!

Try Active Iron for Women - no blockage problems with that.

I would have boiled the kettle and then poured the boiling water on the turd, left it a while and done the same again.

Hot water breaks it up.

Ok it’s sorted it is a very very old hotel, I don’t know if that makes any difference.

I phoned housekeeping but by time I shuffled back they hadn’t been. Things had time to ‘settle’ I poured boiling water down there and used the end of the loo brush. Which to be clear I then covered in antibac gel from my bag. So the cleaning staff didn’t have to get any nasty germs from it.
It was actually paper rather than ‘waste’ and I think it was blocked up from before. So when man turned up with industrial size plunger I said it’s ok I sorted it my husband does this all the time at home and sent him on his way.

When I closed the door, ‘DH’ said well thanks a fucking bunch.

See, that's when keeping a bloke in the house comes into its own!

I used the bathroom at JFK airport waiting to come home late one evening, and thought I'd go for a last wee just before our flight boarded.

I flushed (having honestly had a wee), and the entire thing backed up and exploded over the rim...... it was like a volcano. I screamed and ran out the toilet trying to pull my trousers up and hold my bag at the same time......... there was water and poo going all over the floor and covering the cubicles. The poor lady next door was also screaming that her uber expensive bag was now covered in shit........

Everyone was looking at me as if to say "how the hell can someone shit that much out"..... thankfully there was an attendant in there who frogmarched everyone out and sorted out the still screaming bag lady. I've honestly never been so embarrassed in my entire life

This really made me laugh my children are asking me what's so funny.

@Naaaaah

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

I agree. I think it's horrible to expect someone else to sort out your poo. Even if it is their job. They get rubbish wages anyway.

I would try my utmost to unblock it. If nothing works, then and only then I would call housekeeping.

Boil the kettle, pour it down slowly and flush at the same time. Give it a bit of help to break up and find its merry down along the bog bends and be free.

*I hear music and angelic voices accompanying it "Born freee.... as free as the turd flows... "

@Kithic why not?
It is a perfectly reasonable suggestion.

in what universe? theres not a chance in hell i would put my hand down a toilet, and even less chance for a blocked one!!

Blame your DH and call housekeeping then return in an hour after they’ve sorted it.

@Mybalconyiscracking

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

That made me laugh .

@IcedPurple

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.

It's a common misconception that water pressure is what flushes a toilet. It isn't. The waste is sucked out by the syphon effect caused when the water in the pan becomes higher than the water in the throat of the S bend. Your problem is most probably caused by limescale build up in the bend. You could try liberal applications of a de-scaler but in my experience none of them are very effective (apart from 100% white vinegar).

Can you complain to your landlord?

I can't tell you how much I properly belly laughed at the mental image I got and felt your genuine horror but laughed anyway.

🤣

It's only a short term let so probably not worth it. Interesting about it likely being bunged up by limescale though!

Maybe that's why all the manky oiks legendarily poo in hotel kettles - they're just cutting out the middle-man

My DH does come in handy in this situation. He runs the shower til waters hot, then aims it down the loo at full pressure. Works a treat! He’s a genius 🥰

My friend once blocked the toilet at his first girlfriends family house, he'd gone over to meet her parents. They had to call a plumber out and the whole thing was mortifying He could tell me that story 100 times and I'd still howl with laughter.

Fairy liquid and a kettle full of water.

I have blocked more toilets than you can shake a (poo) stick at - definitely something up with me. I once blocked the toilet on a Norwich to Liverpool two carriage train with only one toilet - I ran back to my seat - luckily the next time I had to go someone had fixed it. Then there was the time after a bairam meal...

I've been on that Norwich to Liverpool train many a time. Luckily it seems not on that particular occasion!

I always think I'm a mature woman and then I read a funny shit story and it never fails to make me laugh.

On my 21st birthday, I blocked my Nans toilet (was living there at the time) with a ginormous turd. It was about 11pm at night but had to call my uncle to come and sort. Poor Nan was on Fybogel so was touching cloth herself and it was the only toilet in the house.

I shamelessly blamed my mum, I will never forget the immortal words my uncle muttered whilst frantically trying to plunge away: "it must have been some shit!"

It was Uncle Jeffrey, may you rest in peace.

Just looked up 'touching cloth'.

Ugh.
