I craped in my fiancee's toilet and she will return home tomorrow. The problem is that her toilet is not working but she didn't tell me about it. I called the plumbing company and they told me that they cannot come out until next week. Any advice would be appreciated.

Well I'd need to know more. If it simply won't flush just fill up a bucket with water and pour it slowly into the toilet, the influx of water will cause it to flush. If it's clogged up you have a bit of a quandary. The only thing I can think of it it's completely clogged and won't plunge or anything like that is you'd have to empty/clean it out manually and that WILL NOT be fun. It's your own stuff though so I wouldn't worry too much. Just get a bucket, a throw away sponge and a cup of some type to pick up all the water. Empty out as much as you can, pour in some bleach clean out the stains, empty out the bleach, more bleach let it sit and then clean that out, finally once most of it is out just pour in some clean water with a trace amount of bleach. 1 more thing, if she's your fiance even if it smells a little or there is still a little left I wouldn't worry, she's not going to leave you for crapping in her toilet.

It depends on why it's not working. If the water is turned off but it is draining, pour a bucket of water down it and that should flush it. If it's clogged, try a plunger to open the drain. If the plunger doesn't work, try a snake. Other than that, just wait for the plumber. She should have indicated somehow that the toilet wasn't working. Like a sign on it or something. Unless NO ONE was supposed to be in there at all. Which means you got more trouble than a toilet. :-)

I agree with the people who say pour a bucket of warm water down it. Do it fairly quickly, which will force the contents of the bowl to go down. I'd add a hefty dose of bleach too. Then CLEAN it really well with toilet bowl cleaner and a brush, open some windows and spray some spray, and then yell at her when she gets home! She should have told you! (unless as already suggested, you're not supposed to be there)

Go to walmart and get one of those litterbox scoops (they're cheap). You can use the plastic bag they put the scoop in to dispose of the mess. Do it quickly before it starts to break down in the water. If the water looks dirty, get some of those chlorine tablets that campers use to make lake water drinkable (also available at walmart) and put one in to clean the water. She'll never know.

Try a half gallon of hot water. I had my water turned off by mistake for an entire day. Needless to say I was super p*ssed, but it worked. Try throwing some bleach or disinfectant to kill the bacteria. Kill the bacteria, kill the odor.

um the only thing I can think of is taking gloves and scooping it out. That's kind of gross though.

sorry to say, but you need to do this the old fashion way and clean it out, (and stop using it,)
