    Is it possible to pinch off a pop at “snack size” like this suggests? I’m asking because I have this exact same problem with my children at home. I don’t know how they do it. But surely it’s not something they can choose to do or not? Is it?

    What kind of animal just walks away from their enormous shit? grab a plunger or ask a janitor or supervisor for help.

      It’s a bit of a gamble. Sometimes flushing a second time can add just enough weight (and therefore pressure) to dislodge the clog and fix the problem. I assume that’s what those people are trying to do

      It depends on the design of the toilet, and how much water it dumps into the bowl at each flush. Some toilet designs have a tank with a higher capacity than the bowl, so if it gets clogged then it’ll overflow. Pro tip: know where your toilet’s shutoff valve is, it’s usually on the wall just under the tank. If it looks like the toilet is about to overflow, just turn that valve off and you can avoid the mess.

        wait, I think I just realized a thing, on the toilets here I need to hold a button to flush, it stops flushing when it is not being pressed

        I guess i just discovered something very important to this “shit talk” toilets here usually have the actuation style of hold button instead of what seems to be the normal in the USA (and probably more), press and forget style

        Most toilets I’ve used don’t fill the bowl with enough water on a single flush to overflow. You can adjust the chain (assuming not an office toilet) if it’s flushing for too long.

        The only times I’ve overflowed a toilet I was as a kid, not realizing that trying to flush again might make the problem worse.

        I assume either they mean they don’t keep flushing it over and over if the bowl fills up or their toilet flapper has a short chain and stops flushing quickly when they let go.

    Are you the only employee or do they know it was you or does this email interface not list all other recipients in “to” field?

    Edit: I now see the drop down tab. But my questions still remain.
