After taking a faily uneventful dump the right lens of my glasses popped off and fell into the toliet. It was one of those wierd things where I guess I was sitting in too relaxed a position and there was room for the lens to slip into the toliet as I did a minor adjustment.

I was on vacation away from my spare pair, I'm completly blind without my glasses, was swearing to high heaven. Then I saw with my left eye the lens barely visible in the toliet in fair proximty to a pooper. THANK GOD I DID A COURTESY FLUSH BEFOREHAND. I looked around for somthing to fish it out with. Couldn't find anything, so I grabbed a plastic bag that didn't seem to have any holes. And quickly plunged my arm in.

It worked great! My arm stayed completely dry and I was able to get my lens and set it back in my frame.... after soaking the lens in antibacterial soapy water and throughly cleaning it of course 😉

Hey, you are the one with the bizarre interest in hearing stories of items being dropped in a toilet.
😉
 
One time, while I was urinating, I yawned a piece of gum fell out of my mouth and into the toilet. That was the only thing that I've dropped in there that I wasn't planning on going in there.
 
I once dropped my gf's toothbrush in the toilet. I fetched it out, but she used it before I could tell her. I couldn't kiss her for days, first I told her I was sick, then after running out of excuses, I blurted out the truth. She locked me out of my aprtment and put something of mine in the toilet. Of course, she wouldn't tell me, and I became insane. I started throwing away everything. The remote? Of course the remote, gone. Garbage can. The spatula? Gone. Garbage can. My whole apartment was a biohazard. I even slept in my car one night. I begged her to tell me, begged and begged. Finally, she smiled and said, "toiletbrush." DAMNIT. I calmed down, I could replace that. We then went to get some dinner, but we had to go to her place because I threw out all my dishes.
 
cordless phone once. That was at work though. Still works good as new. The other day I dropped it in a big jug of automatic transmission fluid that I'd brought in. Still works good as new after a cleaning. That thing's indestructable.

Sorry if this is a stupid thread, but I'm just curious. What kinds of things have you ACCIDENTALLY dropped in the toilet and how did you get it out? I know I have dropped my glasses and my friend dropped his cell phone.

I dropped my cell phone (pre-pee), reached in and grabbed it. Took the faceplat off and battery out, left it that way over night. It still works, im stoked.
 
My roomate dropped his MP3 player in the toilet once. He said his coworkers call it an MP4 player now. I was confused that those fools would know what MPEG4 was at first. Then he let me know it was an MP3 player with extra pee in it.

It still works BTW. The HDD must be pretty well sealed.
 
A roll of toilet paper and a paperback novel. I put a latex glove on and transferred the stuff directly to the trash.
