Upstairs | Toilet Blocked [cracked]

It started like any other Tuesday morning. Coffee, kids’ shoes missing, the usual chaos. Then my spouse called up the stairs: “Did you flush something you shouldn’t have?”

There’s a special kind of dread that comes from hearing the words “upstairs toilet blocked.” Not the downstairs loo. Not the guest powder room. The upstairs toilet. The one that sits directly above the living room sofa. upstairs toilet blocked

I hadn’t. But there it was: water rising slowly in the bowl, threatening to breach the rim like a miniature, disgusting tide. It started like any other Tuesday morning

Twenty minutes of twisting metal, praying for a “thunk” that means hair or a toy soldier. Instead, just wet toilet paper and regret. Not the guest powder room

Maybe it’s just slow draining? Give it ten minutes.

That’s the real lesson here. After an hour of DIY heroics, I finally called a professional. He arrived in 45 minutes, fed an industrial-grade snake down the pipes, and pulled out… a small, melted hair clip. From 2019. The toilet has been holding a grudge for four years.
