Default Toilet bowl?

Landlord just fitted a new toilet bowl for me, looks good and seems to work
OK but there's always a big turd, not mine, lying at the bottom which won't
go away no matter how many times it's flushed. How do I fix this?
Serious replies only please.

1) Large bucket of water: pour it in

2) Feed the offender less

Will ring landlords tomorrow, they'll send a man to look into it and maybe
get to the bottom of it.

"seems to work ok" is wrong. It is not working OK if there is residue.
A good toilet these days take care of just about anything you drop in
it, one flush.

Landlord put in a cheap piece of crap. You have three options:
1. Replace with a good toilet
2. Keep a stick handy to break up the logs
3. Change to a more liquid diet

I'd talk to the landlord. Offer 50 bucks to add to the cost of a good
toilet from Kohler, American Standard or Toto.

I have Kohlers at home and we have them at work. Comfort height, 1.6
gallon flush. None have ever left anything behind.

Ed,

The toilet has been installed and used. What will the $50 do in this
situation?

You can dump the bucket of water in there yourself...
no need to call the landlord.

Maybe nothing, but if lucky, get him to buy a better toilet and use this
one someplace else, like his own house.

Cherry bomb? M80? Worked in my school when I was a kid.

Seriously, I'd break it up with a plunger, and then speak with the culprit
if this crap is recurring.

Default Toilet bowl? (softening solids)

One time, I used a bucket of the hottest
water I could get out of the tap. Softened
the obstruction, so it would flush down
the drain. If the OP is at all serious.

RV holding tank fluid (the green stuff) also
helps soften solids.
