I have a bathroom that got clogged. I had the brilliant idea of not using a thick cardboard roll without paper, and when I returned from work, that thing was so moist that I flushed the toilet, and supposedly it went away, but it didn't, and the water doesn't flow as fast as before.
I can't call a plumber because I've had issues with the landlord, so I have to solve it on my own. I've already tried using a hook and a plunger, but it hasn't changed anything.
I also can't afford to buy specialized tools, I barely have enough to eat.
I have some leftover baking soda, vinegar, and a coke that I haven't finished in weeks.
Would the combination of baking soda and vinegar work?
Or should I just pour the coke?
What other things can I try?

post toilet

If the water just doesn't flow as fast as before, whatever you put in there won't do much and will make the actual solution more messy or even hazardous.
Sometimes googling can help.

order an auger from bezos. return it once you figure out how to use it to fix the problem.

Oops, I wrote wrong, "I dropped a thick cardboard roll that no longer had toilet paper on it in the WC."
As I didn't give it much importance, I flushed the toilet, and that thing clogged it.

>too lazy to fish tube out of toilet to prevent blockage

The fucking state of you rentcucks.

Toilet augers are $20 or less, or borrow one from someone. You could also disconnect the water and pull the toilet off the floor. If you're lucky the tube is just stuck in the toilet neck and you can get it out.

I hope your landlord finds out you broke his shitter and he evicts you.

I will try to buy a toilet auger, but first I will try the idea of using coke.

If you don't care about it becoming a little messy put mentos in the coke and point it to the toilet

buy a long garden hose.
feed the hose down the toilet as far as you can - try and go past the blockage
then turn the water on

You get what you fucking deserve
Go rent a drain-snake, a new wax gasket, pull the toilet and fix it.

Maybe if I flush some golfballs they'll push the cardboard, right?

I'm back.
Yesterday, I was using the basic toilet plunger and tried using a clothes hanger as recommended by a friend.
But things got worse; the waste doesn't completely go away.
For today, I'll wait for the water to return to normal, and tomorrow, I'll find a way to pay for a toilet auger.

Dont put anything else down it, use toilet at school/work/store, flush it every half hour or as often as you can without flooding and can be bothered. In a few days the roll will disintegrate. When the speed seems back to normal you can use it again.

What exactly do you think pouring coke down the toilet will accomplish?
Were you drunk by any chance when you posted this?

>> No.2661195

Turn your water valve off.
Disconnect it.
Flush it.
Plunge it to remove remaining water in the bowl.
Unscrew the nuts from the bolt at the base of your toilet.
Tilt it.
Check the bottom of the toilet for obstruction.
Check sewage hole for obstruction.
Reshape wax seal.
Put toilet back.

Just do that you disgusting poorfag.

Also you need to scoop out the shit water in it first.
Go save $20 and do that.
