Clogged toilet?

What rule of etiquette should you follow when you take a big dump at someone's house and it clogs up the toilet and overflows all over the floor?

Clogged toilet?
Oh, my God what a nightmare, short of legging it, you probably weren't the cause of the blockage - it would have happened probably to the next dumper! Suicide or a long holiday may help or a change of identity. BUT the proper way to go about it is quietly tell your host, and allow him to deal with it, as it was not your fault be brave and you won't be banned from their house! Oh, an d good luck you poor soul but hopefully everyone will have a laugh and thank god it wasn't them. Actually you should make a movie out of it. Personally, I do not like people doing that in my house, don't mind a pee, but they should do the rest before going out.
Reply:Dang that really stinks. No pun. You have no choice but to ask for help and clean it up and apologize right? What else can you do? The evidence will probably be stuck to your feet too.
Reply:Oh my, this happened to me when I first started dating my husband. I had to come out and ask him where the plunger was. He offered to come in and do it, but I refused and did it myself. Horrible, horrible experience. But we're married now. :)
Reply:You don't say what the floor is like. Someone is assumed that it was cleanable, but what if it isn't and the people have to redo their bathroom because of what you did? As was said before, clean up what you can. Let the people know so that they can properly disinfect the affected area. You apparently weren't paying attention to how much you were putting into the toilet or that could have been avoided. Only so much can be handled by a toilet so I hope you learned to more observant of what you are doing so this doesn't happen again with you.
Reply:Open the window and get rid of the stink! Then tell them that it was like that when you went in there simply to wash your hands.
Reply:Does no one have "normal" bodily functions?





Do they not know, when they "GO!"


What time, when, where and on "who?"





I find that hard to believe!





Something is wrong, if you don't know!





Besides, "Scared shitless!"





That passes as a "GO!"
Reply:First thing I'd would be to clean it up.





I then would complain about their poor plumbing...


;)
Reply:This is why I wait until I get home to do the big ones.
Reply:lol you just made my day!
Reply:Puh, pretend that I didn't do it. Say you just saw their little brother coming out and then point and laugh at him. If nothing else, just leave as soon as you realize there's no helping the situation.
Reply:jump out the window.
Reply:Oh god that's embarassing. Well if you can clean it up without the person finding out, I would do that. There might be a plunger etc. something in the bathroom. However, more likely than not you're going to have to tell the host so that it can be cleaned/fixed properly. I would talk to them privately and tell them what happened and that you would like to clean it but are unsure of where the products/plunger is. Then clean it up, apologize and laugh about it.
Reply:What do YOU think? CLEAN it up. YOU clogged it YOU CLEAN IT. Why would there be ANY etiquette other than CLEAN IT UP. You outta be slapped.





Flush twice next time (once after you dump (before you wipe) and then after you wipe. Or pinch off a big loaf halfway and flush.





Also be more conservative in the amount of paper you use.
Reply:I would act like it was clogged up already when I went in. They I would say when I tried to flush it, it started overflowing.
Reply:Send them flowers, or an apology card, and offer to pay for the damage/ or clean it up.





If someone does this at YOUR house, and they are YOUR guest, I would try to be as cool headed about it as possible.


It is humiliating for them, already, and they probably didnt MEAN to flood your bathroom, lol.





Dont say that a person is rude, if they didnt do anything to help with the mess they left. Chances are they are just mortified, and are avoiding you, out of sheer embarrassment. Remember, they didnt mean to do it, it was an accident. It happens to everyone at some point.. this time, it just HAD to be a guest in another persons home, right? Ugh.





To whomever did this: Try to make amends, and be civil.





To the homeowner: Just accept their apology, and move on.





Friends shouldnt "dump" friends over silly $hit!! LOL!!!
