Don't let this happen to you.

I just read a story about a woman that met a man at a wedding reception. Well, that's always fun and sometimes fortuitous. So drinking ensued and they both went back to his place. In the morning, he had to go to work but told her to take her time and just lock up once she was ready to leave.

Okay, here's the bummer part. She went to the bathroom and took a generous dump, and then could not flush the toilet. She ended up picking it up and putting it in a large ziploc bag, and then placing it on the kitchen counter. Unfortunately, once she had all her stuff, she left and locked the door, forgetting about the bag o' poop. She freaked out and then changed her cell phone number.

Now. I don't know how true this is. But if you are in a similar situation, you can do one of two things. You can get a large pot from the kitchen, or a bucket if one can be found, fill it with water, and pour into the toilet. This should make it flush.

Alternatively, you can take the lid off of the tank and see if there is a chain without a coupling (usually to what looks like a small plunger). And then you can try to flush.

Now wasn't that easy? And you don't have to leave a sack of shit on the counter, which might be construed as commentary on the previous night's fun.
