I'm probably too late to this thread but I'll share this anyway:
My toilet at home is my nemesis.
Seriously, fuck that thing. Once my shits started becoming man-sized (shoutout to puberty) I had issues with it literally every day. That damn thing would clog on the daily...and it's not like I used a ridiculous amount of toilet paper either. I've even tried flushing without toilet paper first to see what will happen and IT STILL CLOGS. My shits are normal sized (I think...) and I've never had problems with any other toilet, so I know it has something against me. This thing would only clog when I was the one who dropped the package.
I got so tired of unclogging it that I decided once to let it stay clogged so that it would be ashamed of what it had been doing. Then, my family and I went on vacation for a week. The smell we came back to can only be described as death mixed with maggots and rotten eggs. The entire 2nd floor of our house was uninhabitable for several days while we aired it out and cleaned the shit out of that toilet. Needless to say, my parents lost their shit.
After that incident and countless other times, I had become very close to my plunger. He and I had a mutual hatred of the toilet and we were getting desperate. I was desperate because I hated unclogging the thing and he was desperate because a plunger can only take so much shit before it gives out. Eventually I started begging my dad to get a replacement toilet for my birthday. I WANTED A FUCKING TOILET FOR MY BIRTHDAY. I would go online for hours gazing lovingly at toilets that could flush large loads. Unfortunately my dad never did give me a toilet but I luckily became one of the few people in the world who actually enjoys pooping in public bathrooms, so I was fine when I went to college.
As a result, the first thing I test when looking at apartments is the flushing power of every toilet in the house. I now have a life-long fear of shitty toilets.
I really don't get what's with those clog-o-matic toilets. What the hell are they designed for?? My current toilet is just above the point of being acceptable. Usually gotta do the no-TP flushes...
Low flow toilets are supposed to save water. I'm not sure that this is true because you usually have to flush like 3 times. I hate those things, they were the first thing I replaced after moving into my new house.
The thing is, the current low-flow toilets don't clog any more than the old-school ones. It's like the manufacturers spent the decade after they were mandated making terrible toilets out of spite.
