The only problem I have with the toilets over here is the big ****ing gap in the door in public toilets, which is why I refuse to take a shit when I'm out unless I'm already touching cloth!

It varies. Usually I get a burrito suizo from the Mexican restaurant we like to go to. Good stuff.

Sending a plumbers snake or a squirrel down the drains is one thing, but when rats, cockroaches and snakes come up through the toilet it's time to fight back. This flap should do the trick.

Two options:
1. He's been unblocking your blockages for years without you knowing.
2. You start eating something with a lot of ruffage as soon as he goes.

Relevant ...

Make sure to do a pre-flush before you wipe.

But... that can be unavoidable and is called "multi-tasking"

Our upstairs will block if you so much as wave a sheet of two-ply at it, so it's one-ply only up there. Downstairs will flush pretty much anything, and I don't recall it ever blocking. We replaced both toilets with the same model when we bought and renovated the house.
