Now I feel guilty. I just heard another car outside in the apartment complex parking lot. A tenant called at 6AM this morning to let me know water was coming through her bathroom ceiling. I called the tenant above her apartment to see if he had any idea why. He overflowed the toilet. I was kind of annoyed because I had been awakened by the call so early. I asked if he had a plunger, when he said no, I told him not to flush the toilet again until he got a plunger. I asked him to come to the office during business hours today and we would supply him with a new plunger. I just saw him taking a plunger out of his jeep so I guess he went to the store.

(I can't believe everyone doesn't own a toilet plunger. Sheesh!!!)

People who end up overflowing the toilet do so because they mistakenly assume that the second flush will push the stuff down.
Most toilets will give you a one-flush grace period before they overflow. They also give you a visual indication that the second flush would be ill-advised by the fact that the bowl is excessively full.
