Is a spooky dooky when you take a big shit and then there’s nothing in the bowl?
I think that one is called a ghost shit.
I the that’s a fart.
😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂
So this is a US thing, with the weird half-full-of-water bowls, right?
I’ve had a messy clog maybe once in my life, but evven then it didn’t just fill horrifically with water and overflow. It’s such a trope that all I can assume is that maybe US toilets do that sometimes?
American plumbing sucks. I never once clogged a toilet in my 10 years living in Germany - those things would suck down ANYTHING. Here they sometimes just decide to back up for no visible reason.
But like the other poster said, they rarely overflow - you just have a gross bowl of water to deal with trying to plunge it down.
It’s really only kids / idiots that overflow the toilet, since it takes several flushes on a fully clogged toilet to get the water level that high.
Ok, so my toilets are like 23 years old, I have no knowledge on how they work, but both clog easily and both overfill if you don’t shut off the water.
What the fuck is wrong with my toilets/plumbing?

You’re more than two decades out of date with design and material improvements. And I’m guessing there are likely issues with things like gaskets and seals that are causing problems. Go pick up some new toilets and hire a plumber to install them, since you may need new valves, flanges, and who knows what else.
I mean that makes sense. i probably just needed someone else to say it before I felt comfortable putting that money down. thank you
You bet! While you’re at it, you should seriously consider installing one with a bidet seat. It will, quite literally, change your life. It’s that much better. There are cheap ones available on Amazon that you can install yourself, or you can splurge for a nice toto washlet or similar. Either way, go for it!
oh I got one of those. you better fucking believe it changed my life. like I think I might be the only person I know with one, and honestly, it’s really gross to think of how many people don’t use them
Preach it brother. When I try to tell people about how amazing they are, I usually get the same reaction of eww gross. So I always respond with: “If you got human poop on your arm, would you just wipe it with dry toilet paper and consider it clean? Or would you wash it?” That usually lands it home.
Quite literally one of the best experiences. Not sure why this isn’t more popular over here.
It happens occasionally, it’s not like they overflow after one flush. You flush, notice the water isn’t going down, plunger it, and usually you’re good
“Surely the weight of a few more gallons will push it th-- ah, fuck!”
Plus there’s a knob where the toilet water hose connects that you can turn off if you see it filling up so that it doesn’t overflow
That won’t stop it from overflowing. You need to pop the lid off the toilet, push the float down, and unhook the chain going to the flap.
The flap should stop the toilet from flushing once the tank is empty. You shouldn’t need to do anything manually to stop it. That’s why people are concerned that your toilet overflows. A single flush should never cause your toilet to overflow, even if it’s clogged.
Yes, but people tend to have the habit of flushing at least twice in hopes the second time works, despite past experience.
This entire conversation confirms that apparently yeah, US toilets do this and as usual Americans will blame just about everybody for a problem that is readily solvable instead of actually fixing it.
I didn’t think I was gonna end up with toilets as a metaphor for, you know, health care, political corruption and gun control, but here we are.
Sure, I’ll just smuggle in European toilets to replace the perfectly serviceable toilets in my house.
Shall I remove the toilet seats and paper as well to really get that “Spanish gas station” feel?
Or maybe - just maybe - it’s not a big enough problem for anyone to take the time to fix.
you you
Turn off the water you fool! We’ll drown!
The spooky flood is coming, were boned
tyre, sealed one side with thick industrial fabric & glue. plonk yourself down on that. moves it along.
It’s called a return to sender situation
Reminds me of the most stupid way a german captain sank his own uboot.
