My first call today was a backed up toilet for an elderly woman. There was a small single turd in the toilet and maybe 3 lbs. of toilet paper and she wondered why it wasn't flushing. I told her to take it easy on the TP THAT'LL BE $130, thank you!
Protip: Wet wipes, even the ones marketed as 'flushable', are NOT flushable under any circumstances. Along with lady products, but I assume most people know that.
To date the best toilet related service call was snaking out a clogged toilet and pulling back a condom wrapper. People flush condoms all the time, but this was the first wrapper I ever pulled back. And it wasn't a normal tin foil wrapper. It was a tin foil wrapper with some strange 2" x 3" plastic backing it was stuck on. About the size of an iPhone. It was hard plastic and it jammed up the toilet real good. I pulled it out and unknowingly took it upstairs to show the homeowner. She saw it, asked what it was and I said, "It's a condom wrapper" and her face went white. She gasped and told her husband, who she was talking on the phone with, "I'll call you back." She hangs up and says, "THAT'S MY 17-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER'S BATHROOM! She is having sex with her boyfriend!" All I could do was chuckle a little. It made sense now, that some high school kid didn't know you couldn't flush that crap. I do feel kind of bad. But goddamn I think kids are boning much earlier these days, don't understand why she was so upset.
A close second to being the best toilet related service call was for this woman who flushed her Droid down the toilet. It had spent all night down there. I came and pulled the toilet, snaked out the phone. She took it apart and let it dry overnight and it WORKED THE NEXT DAY!
Also I pulled a rubber ducky out of a toilet for a guy with a 4 year old. I handed it to him, all shit-covered and whatnot, and said, "You might want to wash this before you give it back to him." He said, "That goddamn kid just cost me hundreds. Throw it away."
