To ask what do you do with a poo that won’t flush

Exactly that. What do you do when your poo won’t flush despite multiple attempts at flushing?

Next time try, washing up liquid in the bowl leave for 5 mins then pour in boiling water, works every time 👍🏻

MouthBreathingRage · 14/04/2020 17:24

Never said you were trolling. I think there are a million things to try before starting a thread about it though. Plus it's extra odd you didn't want your DH finding out.

I have a poo skewer kept at the back of the bathroom cabinet (thoroughly cleaned with bleach after use) for this purpose.

Amber0685 · 14/04/2020 17:26

Biological washing liquid, then 5 or 10 mins later a kettle of boiling water, leave then flush.

@mouthbreathingrage ffs it’s only a light hearted thread about something that happened earlier. Not every thread needs to be important or weighty. Why would I tell DH? “Don’t go in there love there’s a giant poo in the toilet”

Scoop it out with my bare hands and chuck it out the window.

RedSoloCup · 14/04/2020 17:30

Blame the kids and get DH to sort it out haha

Batshittery · 14/04/2020 17:31

Sonichu Is that based on the thread where someone did that on a first date and it made the national news? That was so funny.

I'm almost afraid to ask tinky but a poo skewer? Shock

MouthBreathingRage · 14/04/2020 17:31

@Ladynana, messaged recieved! I'll bow out, 'talking shit' isn't much for me.

BlackeyedPetitsPois · 14/04/2020 17:33

Unwind a wire coat hanger and chop it up with that. We keep a (clean) one on hand ready for such a...ahem...situation.

Batshittery · 14/04/2020 17:33

I hope I haven't dreamt that story? She threw it out the window but it landed on the ledge so she climbed out to retrieve it and got stuck Grin

Ladynana · 14/04/2020 17:34

@batshittery that did happen lol. I read another about a woman who put her poo in a carrier bag and accidentally left it on her date’s kitchen table.

Wow Grin I know I shouldn't find it funny, but I do. Probably as it would be my worst nightmare. (Leaving it in a toilet - not a carrier bag)

Scruffyoak · 14/04/2020 17:37

Washing up liq

WhoWouldHaveThoughtThat · 14/04/2020 17:37

It's not an uncommon problem, even Christopher Robin had one - he called his a PoohStick.

IHaveBrilloHair · 14/04/2020 17:38

My friend works with kids and has had this issue with several over the years, she says a breadstick and then flush that too!Grin
It really is my friend btw, I'd rather eat my own eyes than work with kids.

BaroleCaskin · 14/04/2020 17:40

Why wouldn't you tell DH? My OH and I have helped each other get rid of many a poo hahaha

DeadBod · 14/04/2020 17:44

A breadstick is a genius.

swimlyn · 14/04/2020 17:46

All the above, but use dishwasher powder or tablet (dissolved).

It umm... digests stuff. Wait an hour and flush.

maternityclothes · 14/04/2020 17:46

I don't think it's ever happened to me. Could you not just put some toilet paper over it and flush again?

KurtansCurtains · 14/04/2020 17:48

Keep it as a pet?

OllyBJolly · 14/04/2020 17:49

I've actually found this thread very useful, thank you.

perniciousdot · 14/04/2020 17:54

Coat hanger Blush

WatcherintheRye · 14/04/2020 17:55

I seem to remember reading that there's sometimes a medical cause for poos which float rather than flush?
