The solution here is obvious...eat more roughage!
Chinese food and loose bowels do not really go together well.
Eat cheese and s(h)it tight.
And buy a good “Made in Japan” toilet seat:
“There I witnessed a common scene: the modern toilet disaster. An otherwise clean business had a restroom calamity on its hands, one so grim that I hesitate to describe it.”
Walkout, don’t do busines with these slobs. Remember the employees in most instances use the same restroom, and that says a lot about preparing food.
Have the same one for a few years now. Not one single clog and I have two sons over 6’. Use it in our guest bath.
I flush twice, three times, four times or more.
Great water saver, the 1.6 gallon toilet...
Or Korea whee there is just a hole in the ground.
Another life-enhancing movement brought to you by then-Sen. Al Gore...
My experience with older low-flush capacity toilets pretty much mirrored the complaints about frequently having to flush twice for an efficient removal of waste from the bowl. But I've bought two high seat, elongated bowl toilets in recent years and they both work amazingly-well. One is an American Standard. The other, I bought last year from Sam's Club, so it's an import. It flushes FAR BETTER than the 3.something gallon crapper from the 70s that it replaced. That one used to clog up with annoying regularity.
Another thing to consider, the more water you have in the tank, the bigger the potential mess if it does get clogged. I don't think many bowls could contain 3.5 gallons of water without overflowing, but could probably contain 1.3 to 1.5 gallons.
I live in Michigan.
Four of the largest bodies of fresh water on the face of the earth lap up on its shores.
I recycle all my water; it gets pumped out of the ground on one side of my property and goes eventually into a septic tank on the other side.
And still I am required to use a low-flush toilet.
"That's not enough water to get the goldfish to the pond."
Think of all that energy you are using to pump that extra water out of the ground. Heck, in a few thousand years that would have used enough to power one of those private jets to a climate change meeting.
Betting some customer put paper towels into the toilet, or worse.
I blame the person, not the thing.
The clowns that designed these toilets were probably the same ones (or related to)who designed the new “safety” gas cans. One is about as unworkable as the other,altho there are SOME good working toilets now after all these years. Not so much can be said for the gas cans. I have an idea that won’t solve the problem now, but might help in the future. These monstrosities can always be redesigned for the future, so eventually the problems would cease to be. Find out who the people responsible for these ill-designed products are/were, & then get them to an overflowed toilet bowl somewhere & stick their head into it. Same principle as pushing a puppy’s nose into the wet spot they left on the floor. Maybe they would do things differently next time.
I still like one designed by Thomas Crapper, and from where we get the name. The original ones had the inventor’s name on the tank. CRAPPER.
***who designed the new “safety” gas cans.***
I hate those things. I’ve found it is easier to unscrew that safety “cap”, and use a funnel.
If the gubmint had modeled Japan, this wouldn’t be an issue. They have toilets with 1 and 3 gallon flushes for the situation at hand.
We replaced one of our toilets with a 1.6 power flush toilet over 20 years ago. I think maybe one clog in that time.
San Francisco doesn’t have backed up toilets.
Good God that’s bad! Makes me proud... I’m sending pictures. :O)
It is very similar to the bad outcome of all supposed “progress” by government dictate.
Remember the five years when cars would not stay tuned and driveable? Government Mandate. Exhaust content was mandated and makers complied how best they could to issue a new model and the user suffered.
As the Road to Serfdom showed, planned outcomes are the problem.
