Ummmmm....Yep! Even worse when it's your toothbrush -- your only one -- and you're getting ready for work in the morning and can't brush your teeth. Ugh. ;)

ewwwwww,,,,,just plain ewwwwww. lol "T" :)

Dropped my keys there? no...
but boy o boy, do I have problems with locking keys inside of the car...... don't *even* ask my parents.....

*laugh* At least it's a good habit - I lock my doors a lot! *grin*

My hubby once had an employee that dropped his pager in the toilet. Seems he knocked it off his belt when he pulled his pants up. When asked what he did about it, he told them he flushed! LOL Needless to say he was trying to get a new one!

LOL so funny Badseed

Badseed, that was common in the early days of carrying pagers! I once dropped my keys just as I was getting into an elevator, and they found that narrow crack at the door and ended up in the basement of the building. Had to get someone from maintenance to retrieve them. But the absolute worst toilet thing for me was when I laid my partial plate on the lavatory, turned to say something to a kid and somehow knocked them in. I couldn't bring myself to reuse them, no matter how much the dentist told me they could be sterilized, so it cost me almost $200 for a new one, plus hving to go in without front teeth and stay at home for two weeks while they were made. I have dropped checkbooks in, too. More than one, from a pocket. I sprayed alcohol on them, let them dry, and hoped they weren't contaminated until I could get new ones. That little porcelain throne seems to be a magnet for things we can't live without.

oh Aimee if I drop mine in there I would be just like you,
and I hate to be with out my partial plate with that big hole in the front,
so I am with you girl,

Gardenwife I have never drop my tooth brush in there,
but that would be the end of that one for me also,

I lock my car keys in the car one time, in Okla on my way home in Mich,so Jennifer put one same place like the out side of your car (under) with same tape,

I have heard of droping the pager in there before Badseed,
but not trying to get a new one out of it,

Oh Aimee, that reminds me of another funny one! When I was in high school, I had a male friend, we will call him George (name has been changed to protect the guilty! LOL). First of all, the boy was riding a bike and hit the back of a parked car, yes parked! ROTFL When he did this he knocked out his front teeth and had to get a partial. Friends and I spent many weekends holding his head while he worshipped the porcelain goddess (not saying I ever drank, wink). Can't tell you how many times we heard "If I lose my teeth again, my mom will kill me!". You guessed it, we had to fish them out for him. ICK!

Oh, 'seed, I knew you didn't imbibe! So good of you to help that unfortunate accident prone child. But I bet he found it difficult to get kisses.

I have a friend in her fourties, 'girls night out', went out drinking with a group of friends. Not used to much drink, she started throwing up even before she got home. She was up and down all night. Morning, she discovered her teeth were missing. Looked all over, including the car, no teeth. Week later her toilet overflowed. Called the plumber, you guessed it, the teeth had clogged up the toilet. Even though her dentist was in hysterics, he did soak them in a solution for days, but she was not comfortable wearing that set again.

LOL! Neither would be I! Yuck! You can bet your buns that guy was never my boyfriend! I knew where his teeth had been. ROTFL

Worse thing I ever dropped in the toilet????? One of my contact lenses...YUK!!!! Don't even ask - LOL

I dropped my pager in once. The water was clean, so I picked it out. I let it dry out, and it's still working!!

I dropped my plugged in curling iron in there once. Had to go outside in my bra and panties to turn the power to the house off before I could get it out. I should have put something on, but I just panicked and ran out to the power pole. Good thing the neighbors aren't real close.

Now I make sure the lid is down before I do my hair. I drop the darned thing a lot.

LOL Joan. I bet that was a sight! Glad you did not get and afro! Better yet, glad you were not on the news!

Hairbrush, I've dropped my hairbrush in the toilet. I've got a cabinet above the commode, so anything that rolls out of there goes into the toilet..aspirin bottles float, but the rest require deep sea diving.

I knew a man who went to his girlfriend's parents' house for an authetic Mexican dinner. The food didn't agree with him, but he managed to make it to the bathroom in time. Un-fortunately, he flushed his denture down the toilet & it became lodged in the elbow of the drain. The girlfriend's family had to break their toilet to get it out. Great way to meet the folks!

When my kids were small, there were many combs, brushes, small toys and even whole twinkies and pacifiers flushed. So when I moved here and the toilet was becoming more and more sluggish, I just knew it was because some toy or other kid thing was in there. Sure enough, when I finally had a plumber out, out came a small toy from McDonald's and a child's brush. It's absolutely amazing what kids will poke into the bowl to see if flush down. But I refuse to have one of those trouble makers, the over-toilet cabinet. I always knew it was just asking for trouble. Has anyone thought about what a weird thread this is?

Personally I think this thread is hysterical. As I read each posting I get this mental picture of you folks standing there looking into a toilet and saying to yourself "now how am I gonna get that out of there". **giggle** "T"

I think it is more like 'Do I WANT to get that thing out of there and will I ever use it again if I do???' LOL

Exactly!! So I guess you wouldn't "go fishing" so to speak? Or should I say "bobbing"? LOL "T"

Girlfriend, with five kids, you can only imagine what I have had to pull out of the toilet! LOL Last thing was a sock. Our toilet stopped up last year, right after my hubby had put it in. He cussed and had a fit and plunged and snaked and finally took it apart. There was a plastic measuring spoon lodged in there sideways! LOL You can believe that I don't measure anything in the bathroom!

We once had a grilled cheese sandwich stuffed in the vcr too.

ROLOF - JoanJ

This is the big one! I sat on the toilet one day and heard squishing around noises in the bowl and jumped off the toilet and there was one of those blue lizzard looking things in there about 5-6 inches long trying to get out...LOL I guess I p****d him off!

Yikes! Did he come up from the sewer or what?

I am about to split my sides, and I agree this a hysterical thread. I, too, keep getting these far out images of you and that "trapped into a bad situation with only one way out" look. But no one has mentioned the "bad kitty" one that happened to my neighbor, so maybe it isn't as common as we thought at the time. Her daughter was about four, and she was punishing her kitty for some transgression, so she put him in the toilet, then flushed when he kept climbing out. Poor kitty managed to hang on, but not without a good dunking. When we told about it over coffee, another neighbor said her kid had done the same thing!

I can't beleive it - two kids did this to kitties, LOL!! I thought it was bad after I discovered my kids both, at different times dumped my whole box of Channel #5 bath powder in and kept trying to flush the whirling mass down!!

Joan...no we have a septic tank but a window was cracked with no screen on it soo I guess he got thirsty! (we have been having droughts here for years)

Aimee, this is a hilarious thread...poor kitties!

Keep it coming!

y'all are hilarious. reading this entire thread all at once (started to type 'in one sitting' but got a bad image) is too much!!!!!! LOL!!

Come on, tiG, you have to share. We know you have a story.

no, just pens and such. Honest, I had 4 kids, and no great story. isn't that sad??? I want a potty story!!!!!!!!!!! maybe my grand-daughters will help me out soon :)

You'll be sorrrrrrry! You must have been a rarity among parents. I can't imagine four kids not bathing the doll and losing an arm in the bowl, or never losing the contents of their pockets into that swirling current. At least they should have treated you to the old perpetually unwinding tissue.

wondering if they did that at other peoples houses and I just never knew..... hmmmmmm.....

We won't even go into the "normal" organics that people have clogged the toilet with....LOL

When I was about 4yrs old I shoved part of a watermelon rind
down the toilet, we had to call the plumber for that, I have absolutely no clue why I did it. When Iwas very small I often took it upon myself to take an "unsupervised" bath my Dad told me he could never figure outwhere all the washclothes would go, apparently I loved to watch them swirl down the bathtub drain, he said when moved the plumber couldn't believe he tub still drained!!!!
Also when my baby brother lost his first tooth he happened to be going to the bathroom....and it got flushed, he ate his second tooth it fell in his cheerios!!!!
Poor kid I hope he never has to get a partial!!!!

I've done a lot of crazy things, but have never dropped anything in the toilet - go figure. I raised five kids and had only one problem in that area.

David and his twin bro Andy (when they were about 3 or 4)like to flush whole apples down the toilet. We had a really crabby plumber, and I was definitely embarrassed each time he showed me the apple he had pulled out. Especially the third time it happened.

Oh my,,there's that mental picture again. **giggle** "T" :)

Oh GL! LOL At least you can feel some sense of relief that they never went bobbing for them! LOL

How do you know they didn't, LOL
