If your toilet doesn't flush properly after one flush, don't flush again. This will cause more water to be pumped into the toilet bowl. Instead, take the lid off of the toilet tank and close the toilet flapper. Closing the flapper will keep more water from entering the bowl.
What we have done?
Don't flush the toilet if you suspect that it's clogged. Instead, remove the tank lid and lift the flapper valve slightly to let a cup or two of water into the bowl to see if the water goes down. Flushing a clogged toilet may flood your floor!
You can fuck us any day of the week
It is important to use a large heavy-duty rubber plunger, either the ball-shaped type or one with a fold-out rubber flange on the bottom which forms a seal. Do not use the small cheap suction-cup type of plunger. These will often not work.
@Vixuzar I think you overly rekt-ed it bruh!
Make Sure You Use the Proper Plunger for the Job. All plungers are not created equal. There are basically two types — the cup plunger and the flange plunger. The classic cup type — probably the most familiar — is best for sinks, bathtubs and showers. The flange type has an extended rubber lip that provides a better seal for toilets.

If the toilet tends to clog easily as the result of trying to flush too much waste, using a combination of hot water, baking soda and vinegar will often do the job as well as a commercial drain cleaner. Boil half a gallon of water, then let it cool for a moment while you add other ingredients to the toilet bowl.
Oh you mean that long, pleated plunger, the one you fill up with water before plunging... I've only ever seen them in hi-vis orange, though they must make different sizes, for sinks and such.
They used to make burlap sacks where you could attach a garden hose or air adapter (blow bag), that would force out loose clogs. Must've had almost a dozen jobs Roto-rooter couldn't finish (mostly snake related mishaps on their part) over the years.
Anyway, did Tom plug yer throne up? He seems the type overdose on fiber, a bit colicy
In 1777 England, Samuel Prosser received a patent for his invention of the plunger closet. This was a new lavatory model that used a plunger to flush the toilet. Unlike the modern day plunger, this plunger was placed in the side of the closet system on top of the outflow. When the user would lift the plunger, it would cause water and waste to rush from the bowl into the soil pipe. This model was not considered hygienic as larger waste would collect on the inside of the plunger. A year later, Joseph Bramah received a patent for his flush and valve toilet that forms the basis of modern day toilets.
I don't think I've ever seen that model in practice, but have seen a few odd-ball ones. I'm looking for a new home, and found a civil war house near a river. "Electric toilet"?! Okay, you're near the river and don't wanna poo on the fish... still, not sure a Crapper should be wired, as though it were the real hot-seat, used to fry condemned men.
Dirt pipes though... I've handed lead, plastic, cast iron, copper, terra cotta (glazed and baked clay) and tar paper pipes over the years, but just holes in the dirt? Can't be good. My Pop found a few wooden pipes meant for gutter drainage, I managed to hold onto one of those sections... it's square with a round hole down the middle, no idea what they used to join them together.
why are you saying this to me and STOP CALLING ME TOM
