The worst toilet clog ever had to deal with was a turkey bone!
It was
devil of a job to get out. Usually it's something like a toy or
toothbrush that's fallen in there and got jammed!

I was the building electrician at our married student housing
complex during my University days. Unfortunately, they discovered
I also did plumbing and I became the "man on call" 24/7 for
plumbing emergencies. I didn't fight, since the pay was terrific
for a student when making those emergency calls. However, the
things I saw and pulled out of toilets should have never been seen
by humans. There were always the feminine items, but for some
reason there were also frequently male or female underpants filled
to the brim, so to speak. Dunno why, but even in an apartment
where some married couple lived, NOBODY had any idea how that
loaded set of Haines got into the toilet. The strangest one was a
sock filled with sh*t found in one of the public toilets off the
lobby. I'm sure there was a story behind that one. grin

FWIW, the best snake to remove that type of plug was an electrical
fish tape with the end tightly bent and made into a hook. I
sacrificed about 4' of my fish tape and it became my first line of
defense against those clogs.
