How do I fix my stupid fucking toilet
I rented a room recently and the toilet is fucking retarded. It was like this from day 1. No it's not clogged, it doesn't even look broken, but it WON'T flush shit. The water will just swirl them around. I have a 5 minute video of me trying to flush my shit (for evidence in case the landlord refuses to fix this then I'll have to contact the right authorities, this might even count as a health hazard under the law and could be serious). I know I cant post a 5 minute video on 4chan so where should I post it? Disclaimer: I'm trying to flush my actual, real life shit for 5 minutes in this video and I eventually succeed.

How am I even supposed to tell this to my landlord? "Uhh yeah the toilet doesn't look broken or clogged but it won't flush my shit?"

Forgot to mention this but it's average sized shit. The toilet specifically has a problem with average sized solid shit and everything in between. Me or my diet aren't the problem, otherwise I would be having problems with any toilet I use

New toilets are just shit. Especially landlord specials
My apartment toilet couldnt flush diarrhea
I bought a house and it has a 1970s 25 litre flush toilet and its glorious

Ask you landlord if he would prefer you use the sink or the shower while you wait for him to send a plumber. If it can't flush shit then it's broken and therefore his problem. This is beyond the scope of what the casual toilet user can reasonably be expected to deal with.

Adding to this when dealing with the apartment toilet i would just dump big buckets of water into the bowl to flush it instead of using the tank which im sure offset any water saving the landlord hoped for

Unfortunately in the real world where things don’t flush like they do in the movies, it can take three, four, or in the case of my wife, Peggy Hill, six flushes to completely remove solid waste.

It's coming back. Thus the stain. This is fucking ridiculous.

>rent a room
lmao
Check the tank. The toilet in my apartment has similar issues and they started only when the connector that hooks the filler hose to its place broke. Even if you stick it back in, the pressure isn't the same. Your cheapest bet is to just get a stick or tube from a broken vacuum cleaner to push the paper around.

yes, exactly like that.

>>2866585
What does the inside of the tank look like? Is the water level filling the whole way and then stopping? Are you a woman? How are you this helpless, open the fucking lid and see what’s going on
>>
>>2866552
a pressure-washer will force that shit down the S bend while using little water
>>
How do you even sit on this thing or clean around it? It’s literally flush with the wall (pun intended) on one side.
Looks like some
>I ain’t payin for no profeshunnel, I can do I mahself!
Job by a clueless person.

woke up to this

Open the toilet lid. Check the mechanism that lifts and drops the water, you can regulate how fast, and strong it drops it.
