I don’t know the total but at least once every few months, depends on what I ate and how much fiber is in me thus keeping everything intact and making it clog.
Bro, I was know for that for a long time.
2 main issues:
1: I grew up in an old house so the pipes weren’t that great.
2: I used to use like 7/8 sheets per wipe.
Maybe once a year. My brother, on the other hand, clogged our toilet every time he used it. It was the toilet that was advertised to flush an entire bucket of golf balls. He had to buy us a special plunger because the one we had wasn’t strong enough to unclog it.
Probably a dozen or so. I feel like the quality of the toilet and water pressure has the biggest impact. I dont care how big your shit is, it wont clog like an airport toilet.
A few. Worst was in a boutique hotel, tried to solve it on my own, couldn’t, and had to ask the owner to unclogg it while my partner enjoy watching me die inside
More times than I can count when I was seriously losing weight and eating almost nothing but protein, but never anything that couldn’t be resolved with a good plunger.
Since work has this piece of shit eco toilet that saves water and uses vaccum just about every other time i take a crap its flushing 10 times before using the brush since its shaped in a way that causes shit to land right on the porcelain and then i need to go man this manual pump to make it suck it down from the toilet AAAAAAAHHHHHH
I recently discovered that I am guilty of far, FAR fewer clogs than I’d thought. For about a decade I’d have to clear a clog once or twice a month in my master bathroom. Only myself and my then-wife used that toilet, so the suspect list was short. Once we separated, however, the toilet mysteriously stopped clogging. Turns out my ex refused to dispose of tampons in the trash, instead flushing them and fucking up my toilet.
Once. It was the last day on my trip down in Mexico. And we were literally on our way out with an hour before we left…sorry to whatever maid discovered that lol
Do people not know that you’re allowed multiple flushes per visit? If you can physically feel that it’s a lot, why not just give it a flush before wiping and adding TP to the already full bowl? I’m not sure why people haven’t learned this simple trick.
Dooooooood! I went on a “mini mission” for my church for a week. Got dropped off in Monday, the missionaries I was staying with took me shopping so I only bought bread peanut butter and milk. I ate peanut butter sandwiches for 4 days and had not noticed I hadn’t gone poop in 3 days. At the end of the 4th day I had to go. I swear is pooped a tree log. It was touching the bottom of the seat and sticking out. A poo knife would’ve been proud to cut that thing. I did what any sensible teen would do…I flushed it and walked away. The water came up and boiled over and the worse part was that it was a second floor apartment and the old lady in the bottom came up to knock at our door because the water went down to her apartment. That was the last time I had a peanut butter sandwich.
Probably about 100 or so in my life time so far. Mostly when I was younger from using too much TP. More recent times has been shitty plumbing that refuses to take the smallest amount of TP. Never clogged it with just poop.
I’ve clogged the toilet once that I’m sure of. But I’ve discovered it clogged a few times. Probably 4 outside of that one. Can’t say if it was me or the person before me.
Once I took a shit the size of a baseball, no cap! I literally had to use the plunger to break it up and get it to go down the toilet! Thankfully it was my own toilet bc goddamn that would’ve been embarrassing! 🤣🤣🤣
More times than I can count. I have so much experience with clogging toilets that when I am a guest at someones house, I do a test flush to test the flush strength and make sure there is a plunger before I use the toilet.
Like 100. One time without even toilet paper the plumber had to be called.
Also if you’re reading this, the only place your plunger should be is right next to your toilet. Not your attic, not your shed, not your closet, and especially not at a store yet to be purchased.
If you don’t have one there, that’s on you at this point lol
One of the first times I stayed over at my girls place I clogged the toilet. We were watching tv and she fell asleep. I was like fuck ya perfect opportunity to drop a deuce. I do my business and this thing was a monster. Fuuuck. I knew it was going to clog. I flushed anyway. It clogged. She didn’t have a plunger. Fuuuck. I’m in panic mode now. There is a toilet full of shitty water and a huge turd floating in there. I wash my hands and go back out. She is still asleep. I let it sit in the toilet for a bit hoping it will soften up a bit and go down after a while. I go back in like an hour later. The water has gone back to normal level. So I tried to flush again hoping it was softer now. Still clogged. So I’m like I gotta tell her. So I wake her up and I’m like babe I clogged the toilet. She’s half asleep and doesn’t fully understand. She goes back to sleep. Later she gets up and goes to pee. I tell her it’s still clogged. She finally gets it. Luckily she has roommates and they all have their own bathroom. She goes and borrows a plunger and I have to take care of it before she can pee.
I bought her a plunger the next time I came over. Haven’t had to use it since.
Twice – once on an oil rig, not realising how utterly pathetic the flushing system was on this particular platform.
And once in primary school in the 90’s. The tractor had just been round cutting the grass on the playing field, but it didn’t collect the grass so me and my friends decided we’d do the school a favour and get rid of all the cuttings. Cue an entire lunch break of us bundling as much grass as we could into our jumpers and sneaking it into the toilets – the cloggage was inevitable 😂😭
My best effort was when I was about seven, and the toilet actually overflowed. Man, at the time I thought it was coming out sideways – that thing was like king kong’s finger.
Once! On my way to a festival I asked in a little coffeeshop if I could use the toillet, had one of the biggest shits in my life due to holding it up for hours. Spent a good 20 min in there, wanted to flush and it was just water rising. Freaked to fuck out and went nope, Im outta here. I still remember that lady from the coffeeshop yelling at me when I was getting the hell out of there
once
but it was bad enough that wastewater came back up out of the shower drain and i had to call a plumber after a day of trying to get it unclogged
after thoroughly scubbing the shower and anywhere else i touched that day i took probably the most enjoyable shower of my life, felt absolutely disgusting
My wife clogged the toilet once, then went shopping for a few hours, and when she came back the water was pouring out from between the foundation and the brick walls. Our entire first floor had to be redone.
My three year old has been dropping potato sized dumps for a while now and a few of them I’ve tried to flush and the toilet has gotten clogged and then I’m in there trying to plunger that shit and swearing at myself the whole time like, “Shoulda just thrown it in the diaper bin, you asshole.”
On the upside, the sewer lines in my neighborhood just got replaced. In talking to one of the construction guys he said the original design of the septic system when this neighborhood was developed in the 50s was “fuckin’ awful, man.” It wasn’t uncommon to see sewage trucks stopped at a neighbors house pretty regularly. They’re already done and our terlet now flushes with more water and power, but I’m still weary to test it out with one of little man’s mighty mega poops.
Ooh! This one’s fun for me. I have a condition called Megacolon – basically my poop-chute is twice the size of a normal colon. With that added size comes added volume. Unfortunately it also increases diameter.
Sometimes it’s due to the sheer volume, sometimes because it’s bigger around than the hole at the bottom of the toilet – either way, I clog the toilet every single time I poop.
Related: If unclogging toilets ever becomes an Olympic sport, I’m taking gold.
Twice. Both of those times were on the same holiday in the States. Lowest amount of any of us from my family. Still don’t know how the plumbing can be that bad.
I have only clogged a toilet once and I have massive poops. The key is to flush before wiping. Poop combined with toilet paper is what causes clogs almost all the time.
Why is this a common experience for everyone here??? This happened exactly once in my life after I had digestion issues for multiple days. I am now worried for all of you.
My building is over 100 years old and I don’t think the pipes have ever been replaced. Sometimes it’ll clog on the courtesy flush. And I live alone so the courtesy is only for the toilet itself.

I don’t know the total but at least once every few months, depends on what I ate and how much fiber is in me thus keeping everything intact and making it clog.
I mean, I don’t keep a record or anything, but I would say it’s once every few months.
Intentionally? Zero.
Unintentionally? A few when I was younger and didn’t think about flushing halfway through, yknow.
Bro I’m jobless living off spam & rice, while the ball cock assembly (an actual thing, not being funny) is rusted through causing it to stick.
I’ve lost count how many clogs I had this month
Bro, I was know for that for a long time.
2 main issues:
1: I grew up in an old house so the pipes weren’t that great.
2: I used to use like 7/8 sheets per wipe.
Bruh, I once clogged a porta potty
This week you mean?
Literally never
Edit: you guys really need to rethink your toilet paper usage haha
Counting today?😆
Probably once ever week or so
People count this!?
That’s like asking how many breathes I’ve taken this morning
A better question would be, “how many times have you clogged a toilet, on purpose…??”
Probably less than I’ve unclogged. Dad and husband.
Enough times to learn some tips I guess.
Pro tip: five seconds of dedicated flushing will solve most, but not all, situations.
Pro tip 2: always invest in a good plunger that is proper for a toilet — not a sink plunger!
Most days. I am a big man with masssssive poops. It takes about a quarter roll of tp just to clean my hole.
Do people keep count of this?!
It’d be creepy to keep count.
They don’t call me the mad bomber for nothing
Since having a bidet… never
I’m not allowed to use the downstairs toilet anymore…..
45.. once every couple of months I’d say
Ask my mom
Like actually hundreds of times. Genuinely maybe in the thousands.
3 times.
2 times at a baseball game.
1 time at an exes. Oof.
Too many times to count
85% of the time, they always to big to flush, i go every 2 days sometimes 3
I was supposed to count?
Three.
Maybe once a year. My brother, on the other hand, clogged our toilet every time he used it. It was the toilet that was advertised to flush an entire bucket of golf balls. He had to buy us a special plunger because the one we had wasn’t strong enough to unclog it.
I wouldn’t say it happens weekly but its at least once a month.
Some of us aren’t privy to toilets that firehose your shit down the pipe.
Enough times that when I poop someplace new I locate the plunger before I sit down.
I lost count decades ago.
Did it at work just a few weeks ago.
Well let’s see, (46×12)365 = 201,480 give or take a good day.
A lot of
Manny
on purpose or naturally?
Probably a dozen or so. I feel like the quality of the toilet and water pressure has the biggest impact. I dont care how big your shit is, it wont clog like an airport toilet.
Never, because I keep a poop knife at my ready. “Stand your ground!”
Bout a dozen times
Once a week. I am depressed about it but know what to do.i am pleased that I do not have constipation often. It could be worse.
A few. Worst was in a boutique hotel, tried to solve it on my own, couldn’t, and had to ask the owner to unclogg it while my partner enjoy watching me die inside
Every 4th ‘go’.
Not a lot lol.
More times than I can count when I was seriously losing weight and eating almost nothing but protein, but never anything that couldn’t be resolved with a good plunger.
Since work has this piece of shit eco toilet that saves water and uses vaccum just about every other time i take a crap its flushing 10 times before using the brush since its shaped in a way that causes shit to land right on the porcelain and then i need to go man this manual pump to make it suck it down from the toilet AAAAAAAHHHHHH
Idk a few times
Man I don’t have solid stools so never
Every now and then; then I use a plunger and it fixes things.
Wait… please don’t tell me that shitting so violently that your toilet breaks is a normal US experience. Why the fuck are you all agreeing?! Pls stop
Un countable….

I don’t keep count, but it’s more than a dozen. Just yesterday it was avoided by Costco having industrial grade in their restroom.
Surprisingly very few times but my wife does it like every week and I have no idea how lol
Once. It was the last day on my trip down in Mexico. And we were literally on our way out with an hour before we left…sorry to whatever maid discovered that lol
Besides this morning? Countless times. 🤷
A bunch, I’m a big dude, I take big shits.
Twice and not recently. It’s not even something I think about anymore

HUNDREDS

That was the last time I had a peanut butter sandwich.
With poop, never. When I was a kid I made the toilet overflow by stuffing it with a bunch of toilet paper though….oh to be two again….
Not many, I’ve unclogged thousands of toilets
Enough to totally avoid evacuating at someone’s house and waiting to get home (or to a public restroom).
Probably about 100 or so in my life time so far. Mostly when I was younger from using too much TP. More recent times has been shitty plumbing that refuses to take the smallest amount of TP. Never clogged it with just poop.
More than ten but less than twenty.
I don’t know but this is clogging my Reddit experience.
I’ve clogged the toilet once that I’m sure of. But I’ve discovered it clogged a few times. Probably 4 outside of that one. Can’t say if it was me or the person before me.
Few times. Not very often.
I’m a deeply closeted homosexual. Do you know what that means?
Too many. I remember I once clogged one in a bathroom in Narita airport and it overflowed all over the floor.
Clogged one in an exes parents place too and broke their toilet roll holder while trying to fix it.
I’ve clogged many a hotel bog too.
I should probably flush more often.
When I was very young and had just learned how to wipe myself. I simply used too much paper per wipe, and that was the problem.
I don’t remember the number, but as someone with IBS, a bidet and higher quality toilet paper work wonders at preventing it.
Every time I shit…..I don’t go shit unless there is a plunger close by
I have clogged a clog upon a clog upon a clog!
https://youtu.be/YzOrj3LiT38?feature=shared
It used to happen quite a few times when we moved in to our house. Replaced the toilet and it hasn’t clogged since 🤷♂️
Once, I learned to take a break and flush
Several lol, and in a number of different states.
Once I took a shit the size of a baseball, no cap! I literally had to use the plunger to break it up and get it to go down the toilet! Thankfully it was my own toilet bc goddamn that would’ve been embarrassing! 🤣🤣🤣
Not anymore since we got a bidet, now it all gets pulverized by water jets upon exit
More times than I can count. I have so much experience with clogging toilets that when I am a guest at someones house, I do a test flush to test the flush strength and make sure there is a plunger before I use the toilet.
Reading all these comments disappoints me. Y’all need to take better care of your health and especially your digestive track
We were supposed to keep count?
Why the fuck would you ask that??! 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢
At least 15 times in over 30 years. Usually I can get it unclogged.
Nearly every day
Like 100. One time without even toilet paper the plumber had to be called.
Also if you’re reading this, the only place your plunger should be is right next to your toilet. Not your attic, not your shed, not your closet, and especially not at a store yet to be purchased.
If you don’t have one there, that’s on you at this point lol
Used to clog them all the time. Then I moved and I haven’t clogged one since. Hope I never clog one again.
This morning
One of the first times I stayed over at my girls place I clogged the toilet. We were watching tv and she fell asleep. I was like fuck ya perfect opportunity to drop a deuce. I do my business and this thing was a monster. Fuuuck. I knew it was going to clog. I flushed anyway. It clogged. She didn’t have a plunger. Fuuuck. I’m in panic mode now.

I bought her a plunger the next time I came over. Haven’t had to use it since.
So that was the last time I clogged a toilet.
Many times.
I’m not confident to say never, but I can’t think of any off-hand. Less than 3 in all my years,
About none. I’ve unclogged several toilets though.
Too many to count. Did it this weekend at brunch in fact lmao
Can I borrow all of you guys’ fingers to count?
More than I can count
Too many to count

Too many times to remember… No. I’m not bragging. 😔
I dont keep track of my kills. I’m just a lone soldier in a battlefield trying to make my way home.
Never.
I only remember one instance.
Never lol
Too many to count… defo shitty experience
Once! On my way to a festival I asked in a little coffeeshop if I could use the toillet, had one of the biggest shits in my life due to holding it up for hours. Spent a good 20 min in there, wanted to flush and it was just water rising. Freaked to fuck out and went nope, Im outta here. I still remember that lady from the coffeeshop yelling at me when I was getting the hell out of there
You act like it’s only happened a few enough times that I could keep track.
Never, I live in a country with S tier pipes and sewage systems.
Too many to even count.
once
but it was bad enough that wastewater came back up out of the shower drain and i had to call a plumber after a day of trying to get it unclogged
after thoroughly scubbing the shower and anywhere else i touched that day i took probably the most enjoyable shower of my life, felt absolutely disgusting
After switching from Charmin ultra strong to ultra soft and getting a bidet a lot less.
It’s an honor to clog a toilet,that means your bowel movement was one that the porcelain gods couldn’t contain. It’s a right of passage.
Too many to count
A few. But they were inferior toilets. Never clogged one at work. They have those high pressure flushes.
Never
15-20. Mostly while I was young(10-19). As an adult maybe 5. Since I bought a bidet toilet, ZERO!
Hundreds of times. The first time I was like four years old.
Less then a dozen
My wife clogged the toilet once, then went shopping for a few hours, and when she came back the water was pouring out from between the foundation and the brick walls. Our entire first floor had to be redone.
Zero, but I’ve tried really hard.
Don’t hurt me like this.
I’ve lost count
I’m clogging one now….
Twice. Once in my own home and once at a family member’s. (That was when I was a kid and I didn’t tell anyone but my mom later when we got home lmao)
Probably too many.
My three year old has been dropping potato sized dumps for a while now and a few of them I’ve tried to flush and the toilet has gotten clogged and then I’m in there trying to plunger that shit and swearing at myself the whole time like, “Shoulda just thrown it in the diaper bin, you asshole.”

Hah quite a few. After having some bad fish once on vacation. There was no plunger.. had to get the gf go to Walmart and buy one
Dozens?
Like twice
I stopped counting. I consider it like a game: Battleshitz. If I clog it, I won!
i’ll be honest with you: a lot of times,
Once more and I get a free set of steak knives!
I live in a Country with better plumbing than just countries. Yes, there are differences. I never clogged a toilet
Better check my spread sheet for the data… seriously not a number I track
As someone with IBS, somehow only once
Probably, at least 10… 🤣 🙈
Never
Ooh! This one’s fun for me. I have a condition called Megacolon – basically my poop-chute is twice the size of a normal colon. With that added size comes added volume. Unfortunately it also increases diameter.

Related: If unclogging toilets ever becomes an Olympic sport, I’m taking gold.
Too many times to count – I grew up in a house with early low-flow toilets that clogged if you looked at them funny. We wore out multiple plungers.
Less than 10
Let’s just say enough times to know the plunger is mightier than the sword
Way too many to count, yes I’m ashamed. I’m happy modern toilets have stronger flushing than the ones from the 90s-2000s.
Twice. Both of those times were on the same holiday in the States. Lowest amount of any of us from my family. Still don’t know how the plumbing can be that bad.
It’s a rite of passage into adulthood.
I have only clogged a toilet once and I have massive poops. The key is to flush before wiping. Poop combined with toilet paper is what causes clogs almost all the time.

Alot. Iron gut, but lazy colon. Im on fiber and lax supplements. Otherwise, my logs will plug a sewer line.
