Ok....just wondering how so much water can come out of one toilet. Seriously.
Here's the (poop?) scoop:
My ROOMMATE ANIQUA was about to take a shower when she noticed the level of toilet water rising dangerously. She also heard the people next door plunging their brains out. ANYWAY, long story short, toilet overflowed. With poop water. Maintenance is here now...and it's looking really shitty.
I'll probably edit this with the rest of the story later.
EDIT: So after working on the toilet for an hour or so, with various scary looking power tools, a plunger, and a snake (is that what they're called?) the guy came out and said that he couldn't get it unclogged. He said that he usually could, but this one was especially bad. So he came back with a shopvac and cleaned up the water mess.
Before he left I told him that our neighbors were having a similar problem, and how when they plunge, our toilet overflows, etc. He went over there for a while and he used the same tools and the same noises came through our connecting bathroom wall. A while later he came back to get the shopvac and told me this was turning into a nightmare.
ANYWAY. I guess a super-plumber is going to be here in half an hour or so. MORE LATER.
EDIT 2: It's back! It took three and a half hours but I think we have a toilet again! Hoorah! So gross. Seriously. I hope they didn't find a dead cat.
