reaching into the toliet where do you draw the line?

george29223

suppose you were in a porta john and seen money floating around in the stink filled hole how much would have to be down there for you to grab it?

name a few items you have that you would reach in the stink filled toliet if it fell in

would you reach in to get your wedding ring ?

cellphone?

sentimental items?

if your wife or husband begged you too?

what about kids droped something important to them in there would you scoop it out??

I don't think I'd reach down for anything, especially money, since it's near impossible to wash. If I were married and had a ring, then maybe.

If the toilet water was clean, I would more than likely retrieve what fell in, given it was important.

If it were my own pee, it would become questionable.

If there was someone elses pee, or ANY poop, I would not reach down for ANYTHING. If it was truly important, I would go find some kitchen knick-knack to try to scoop it out, and than throw whatever device it was away and replace it.

I wouldn't reach into a port-a-john for crap. As far as a stink filled toilet... my wedding ring resides in the ash tray where it belongs. I rarely twoop so I won't worry about my cellphone. And what the H-E-Double Hockeysticks would I be doing with sentimental items on the throne?

Haha!! I refuse to reach in for anything!!

My cousin was at a bar, and as she stood to pull her pants up her new phone slipped out of her back pocket, and landed in the toilet with her urine. She scooped it out, and dried it with a paper towel. She washed her hands, and put the phone in a clean dry paper towel. She took it out to her friends she was with, and told them it fell in the sink. Her friends start taking the phone apart, and blowing water out, and drying out the battery, and stuff. She said she just started laughing when she seen water was going every where. Then she told them she dropped it in the toilet, and they all laughed.

When she finnished her story as I was sitting there disgusted I told her.... "Your lucky they had a sense of humor in the situation. I might have gone to jail for assault and battery."

ummm, I would contact the porta potty owners and give them my contact info for when they cleaned it out....

Have had my hand in a toilet up to the forearm to look for, ironicaly, the ex's wedding ring...twice. both funking times not actually there...

Oh and I've climbed through a fly infested dumpster in 40deg C temp for her wallet...which also wasn't there....


Some serious make up went on....


But an actual porta potty...nah....but ...yeay probably..

skullshank

only if it's a poop i REALLY wanna keep.

I once accidentally dropped my phone (it fell out of my pocket when I was pulling them up after taking a particularly satisfying dump).

I hadn't flushed yet.

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

But yes, I fished it out. I had only had the phone for a week or two.

If one of my kids fell in- nothing else really comes to mind

SofaKingRad

I've grabbed my gum that fell out of my mouth and into a urinal before. I didn't want bad breath for my date.

I wouldn't use a porta potty and therefore wouldn't be placed in that situation :happy:

kayleesays

I'd probably grab just about anything. Nothing some Dial Antibacterial can't fix.

Jeepers133

I would reach in for valuables. I can always wash my hand. And I can just spend the ****ty money.

lizzybethclaire

Ewwwww…I would reach for my ring (it was my grandma’s) and my cell phone. That’s about it. I wouldn’t use the cell phone, but it’s better than getting stolen. If my kids dropped something, unless it was made of gold, they would be SOL.

ughhh same... I hold it all night if I have to

becka63

I once fished my hamster out of a clean (ie flushed) toilet bowl. Quick rub down with a towel, an hour in the airing cupboard he was fine. Wasn't too happy with the bath I gave him after that to get rid of the toilet water smell...

amyhoss

A toilet and port a john are two COMPLETELY different things IMO. I would reach to get most things of value into a toilet, but I don't think I would get anything from a port a john!

saragato

Considering I've had to pick up someone's stool logs off the floor and put IN the toilet (what a lovely experience cleaning public restrooms is...) I'm pretty sure I'd have no qualm shoving my hand in a toilet for something I or a loved one dropped in that wasn't replaceable or I knew wouldn't flush/would clog the toilet.

tomomatic

I would most definitely reach in there for an engagement ring. That's three months salary and certainly not cheap! It can be sanitized.

If it's my cell phone, forget about it. I'm not putting that thing up to my ear ever again. If I have a plastic bag, or a rubber glove, I'll pick it up, check if it turns on, then ebay that thing as "gently used."

yoovie

i feel uncomfortable in this topic O_O

BlueInkDot

Clean toilet water or pee only? I don't really care. I'll reach for something I dropped.

Poop? Hm... then it becomes iffy. Luckily I have yet to drop anything into a toilet that already has poop in it. I'd like to think that if I dropped something important into a toilet that already has poop in it.... that I would be brave enough to retrieve it. I mean, I can always just wash up to my elbows with as much antibacterial soap as I can find after. I would hate to be that much of a wimp that I can't handle a bit of poop. I mean come on.

I mean if you just pooped out a parasite, don't touch it, but if it's just y'kno... the food you ate 12 hours ago... what are you so scared of? It's stinky, yea, but... it's not gonna kill you. *shrug*

Oh and I don't think I would EVER reach into a porta potty. Sweet Lord no. If I dropped my cell phone in there, well I guess I need to buy a new phone. If I dropped my ring in there, I'm going to find management and have them get me some up-to-the-elbows rubber gloves and a mask so I can get it. I ain't touching that stuff. It might kill me. o_O

HeidiMightyRawr

I'd probably reach in for most things that are important to me. Rings, mobile, etc etc. I'd be really grossed out though, and spend the next 5 minutes vigorously washing my hands, and getting the antibacterial on them.

I've reached into a toilet before to grab my work locker key, it fell out my pocket after I was pulling my trousers up. Then again, the work toilets are pretty clean, (definitely not as gross as a portable) and it was only a pee I'd done. Nothing that a thorough wash wouldn't fix.

coraliethomas

It would have to be a blank check for a gajillion dollars... other than that, there isnt anything in the world I love enough to touch poop. Well, maybe my green card, it was hard enough to get the first one!

Been there, done that!! When my son was nearly two it was time to start doing the potty thing. He would watch me and listen and then look to see what the "business" was in the toilet afterwards. This, of all days; decided to let him hold my gold bracelet because it made him calm enough for me to finish and then explain all necessary actions. I had done the "number 2" deed and stood for him to see and indulged in the "yay, Mommy went poop" now we flush and say bye bye....he then starts to cry and throws my bracelet in the toilet and says NO!!!!! OMG!!!!! I was in a state of panic because I didn't have time to FLUSH yet! Soooo, there ya go...I had to embrace my pride and dig in my own number 2!!! Sweet story huh????? I have no shame thanks to our potty episode :laugh:

I could never do that.......I am glad cleaning public restrooms is not on my bucket list.
