Fixing a blocked toilet

They will be here soon...but I doubt they can fix it. I wish them luck though, it is a shitty job.

Ha ha I search all through the detergents and cleaning products I couldn't even find anything with frei in it...

Amber, you seem to have reservations talking to anyone about this, for example, why didn't you ask anyone at the store? They surely would have known what you mean by explaining in English, everyone understands "toilet" and hand-feet language helps too... don't be scared

I did at Toom...even had a toilet to use as an Example. I got the long thingy but its not working.

Oh ok.

Well, the "rohrfrei" thing is called DRANO (that's the most used).

And HEM, that japanese comment was too funny, lol...

I don't think you can use Drano on a blocked toilet though.

What did she put into the toilet? If we knew that we might be in a better position to "ease" matters.

Nothing out of the ordinary, the normal bodily waste and cigarette butts...and sometimes food. It started getting slow after the cigarettes and some discharge from me...

I already used a bottle of Drano...didn't do a damn thing...

Maybe the blockage is further along the pipes then. are any neighbours having similar problems?

Not sure, I don't speak with them. Except for a 'n Tag here and there.

A sentence you really just don't hear every day.

Cigarette butts and food...in the toilet. Nothing out of the ordinary! Aren't there any dustbins in Rostock? Where was your last roadside camp?

At least I brightened someone's day. Its a combination of British humour and having worked with Japanese guys in the past...

Come on - it is ROSTOCK. The place where they can't tell the difference between an OPEL car and a 9m long glider trailer.

That is what my fiancee does. No idea why, my last apt I had a garbage disposal...with my parents we had one too but it was a dog...

Though flushing old food down the toilet is not strange...I thought it was but supposely a friend of mine in the states did it also.

He does it all the time, so not sure why I now have a problem...

True...

Ugh we are not medieval here!!! Plenty of dust bins and yes they CAN tell the difference between and Opel and a 9m long glilder trailer!

Oh no they can't - In Summer 2005 I took part in a Summer camp on Flugplatz Lärz complete with glider & trailer.

Sometime after return I got a parking ticket from the Stadt Rostock (where I had never been) claiming I'd parked my OPEL car at a parking meter that was Kaputt but I'd not displayed a Parkscheibe... Funny thing was I have never owned an OPEL nor did I a that time own a car (I have a company car - a VW Passat). After some time it dawned on me that the registration they gave was that of my glider trailer! Clearly they had mis-read the reg number, hacked it into their Kompuder & generated letter to my address without doing a plausibility check on the vehicle type/colour etc.

They got a German-style letter back

Well not that isn't normal Rostockers, you know they don't hire intelligent people for those jobs, or the ones of the gov't!!!

PROBLEM FIXED!!!

Ok so the future family in law came over. We used the spiral thing...then hot water...then hot water and clothing detergent. Well it appears to have worked and that the problem was further down the pipe.

So I guess it wasn't me after all!!! It took close to an hour but it is flushing like normal. I can relieve myself freely now!!!

Good advice that was then After all you put down there could have tried a ferret or two as well...

I'm relieved to hear that you are relieved... You will be able to dine out on that story for many an evening...

So TWO whooshes in one day. That's what I call fun - Rostock style.
Oh yes, old food goes into the bio-bin, ciggie butts into the ashtray first and then into the regular bin or into the open fire. Remember when you were on the roadside, you popped the butts into the open fire under the hanging kettle. Old clothes, paper and bottles into the respective recycling bins. Jeez, your place must be an awful mess. No wonder your lad goes off to sea on a spotlessly clean ship for months on end. I would too if I were in his position.

No he is super clean!!! Normal stuff goes in the trash bin...I don't flush anything weird.

Now I have to get him to not flush cigs anymore...

Ok, so this did turn into a rather humous story but was still a little shitty.

Yes, thank you very much!!!
