Well I took a dump in the toilet and some how the paper holder(white thing) fell in. Now it was a nasty dump and I figured well surely the toilet wont suck the roller down but sure enough it did. The problem lies in the fact that the toilet only flushes 50% of the time. I tried a "snake" but I couldnt seem to find the hole for it. What the hell do I do now?

Ya think?

Is it me, or do people here at AT seem to be having a lot of toilet problems?

I can beat this one. The other guy in my apartment flushed a huge catfish down our toilet and now it is clogged.

Just think you wouldn't of had this problem if you swallowed your pride and went fishing for it before flushing... :)

Yuo=teh fvcked. Call a plumber. I don't think you're going to get that crap out on your own unless you're lucky. I'm guessing the toilet paper roll holder is plastic so it's not likely to break down for about 500 years.

EDIT: So you're moving soon? OK, guess you can live with that. Hope the manager doesn't track you down and nail you for clogging the toilet. ;)

LOL!

I think the best bet is tying to get it back out the same way it went in. I think they have flexible grapplers made for that purpose.

Well I had a bean burrito for dinner the night before, so I dont think pride was at stake. It was nasty as hell, one of those ones where the water turns solid brown, that in combination with the shear amount of toilet paper in there, hell I would have been fishing for minutes.

Actually the point of the thread was to avoid a plumber,because I just dropped $2,000 on a car repair and $550 deposit for my new apartment. Not to mention I figured you all would find amusement in it

Then call one and ask for free advice.

My point was that everybody comes to Anandtech looking for every bit of advice they can find instead of turning to professionals. Now, granted, there are quite a few professionals here. But there aren't professionals for every field here. People have become so dependant on AT for everything that they can't think without the forum reply page open and can't do anything for their damn selves anymore.

But if you found something, you could just squeeze. When you find something that doesn't melt in your hand :), you've got the holder...

Nah. Jeff doesn't have problems with "stoppages" much. His boyfriend cleans it out quite often.
