I found four or five Q-Tips in one toilet. I had removed the toilet
and had it outside with a water hose for cleaning. Looked like they
had make-up on them. They never cleared when flushed; kinda rotated
around in the toilet.

What makes people imagine they can throw these things into the
toilet.?

A good reason for putting a wastebasket in the bathroom though, maybe
next to the toilet.

The worst case I've seen was a syringe stuck the bowl rim, clogging
flush vents.

This one doesn't bother me so much. He was probably hiding the
syringe in the tank, and didn't expect it to get flushed. Not nearly
as stupid as intentionally flushing something.

We called this the krack house. I helped a Realtor with a
bad toilet. When I put muriatic acid in to clean the rim vents if
floated up. Lord knows how it got there.
