If misreading the meaning helps you feel less alone, then by all means, go ahead and go with that.

Ask neighbours if they have the same problem. Yes = condo plumbing, NO = your place.

Weird to hear someone finds that behavior refreshing.

The turd that wouldn’t leave… At first I read the title and thought you were talking about one of the members that everyone loves so much.

My first thought was that this was just another boring political rhubarb.

How refreshing to be talking about actual sh*t instead!

I regularly buy toilets for our hotel. I now never buy that brand, as I experienced problems similar to yours. It was exacerbated by our high calcium content in the water which blocked the syphon holes on the underside of the bowl rim. Regular flushing with a de-calcifier was some help but not perfect I now buy Moya instead - and save money.

What a subject to raise here on a Monday morning!

I think I'll skip breakfast and have a coffee.

This is going to sound over the top and made up. I assure you, it is not.

I have two very expensive American Standard toilets in my bathrooms, and the way they flush is baffling. When I hit the lever, the water forms a dramatic whirlpool with a hollow tunnel in the center. The turd gets sucked into the vortex, slides neatly into the tunnel, and then stands upright like it is saluting me during the entire undertaking. The water disappears… and then the turd is triumphantly jettisoned back into the bowl.

Nine times out of ten it refuses to go down.

I have adjusted the tank to use the maximum amount of water possible. No difference. It often takes two or three flushes to finish the job. If I forget to go back to re-flush after the tank refills, the survivor can sit there for hours, slowly dissolving, perfuming up the bathroom, and leaving a charming brown residue on the surface of the bowl once I finally flush it all down.

I genuinely do not understand what is happening. Is it the toilet design? Water pressure? Some kind of porcelain curse?

I would post a video as proof of my dilemma, but I suspect that would end my forum career overnight.

All I know is this. For the price I paid, I expected a throne. What I got was a competitive arena where the turd wins most of the matches.

Have you tried using your bum gun to break up the whirlpool or push it through. I think it might be a condo problem and you should mention it to the admin to see if there is an issue.

I'm sorry but when I read the title I thought the article was about the turd in the White House who keeps coming back..

Keep a pair of sissors in a holster on the side of the toilet like a great Korean waitress. Cut those giant turds into bite size pieces. Hopefully that works, but if not try the car wash method with the bum gun/fire hose. 3rd option is to make smaller turds.

Then why don’t you crap in a bucket and toss it out the window…

The jettisoned material would have the potential, given the height of the fall, to be classified as another MOAB, wreaking utter devastation to the area of its impact,

you live in LOS and do solid poo?

Resolve by hiring a knowledgeable Plummer. Had the same problem for two years, maintenance personnel, rotor rooter, new toilet to no avail. Finally a smart Plummer vented the unit, I think with an extra cymbal tube that solved the mystery. Good luck!

Sounds like a diet problem for a better sliding turd drink more beer.

What's a cymbal tube?

This 💩 tale sounds like a load of crap

How about using the bum gun to disperse the load before flushing. Similarly while flushing use the bum gun to assist pushing it through.

Read the title and thought it was another thread on just how awful Trump is.

Probably too small sewage pipe or a partial blockage.

Try some drain blockage cleaner.

I cannot help you.

But I do recall a fear I had when I first moved to Thailand and had to often use those little squat toilets without running water. The disposal hole is tiny and I was always concerned my poo would not fit down the little hole when I splashed in the water. A few times it would not fit and the lengths I had to go to to fix the problem were ridiculous. The easiest (if visiting my wife's friends or relatives) was just to tell the wife we had to leave immediately and never return.

The Turd That Wouldn’t Leave..

We have a couple Nasco Toilets ,We have sometimes trouble with them like that .

Lady diggers one son has the most trouble with that most times .

The way I see it is that if your turds are big and Solid they just won't Go .

The problem is those pretty Modern crappers are not designed for big stuff.

Easiest way to put up with the problem is get a Poop knife and kill it Make the turd Smaller and you won't have trouble to flush tha bugger.

A poop knife is a dedicated, often silicone or metal, household tool used to break up large feces to prevent toilet clogs. Originally popularized by a viral 2018 Reddit story, it is now sold as a gag gift or specialized cleaning accessory. It acts as an alternative to a plunger for managing difficult-to-flush waste.

Buy a large pair of scissors.

Even if it were my own turd, I would prefer the plunger method than cutting it with a hand held knife.

At least it left you!

Some of us also have problems at this earlier stage in the disposal process … !!

You have a venting issue. Venting is rarely done here and when is it is not properly sized or located

You mean one who is sufficiently knowledgeable that the also know how to spell it:

IT IS plumber, NOT Plummer!!

I've never heard of an anti-buoyant turd diet.

As was explained, the lack of proper venting has an impact on water flow.

A diet infused with fiber will ensure that turds are easily evacuated from your bowel and easily flushed.
