toilet monster… love it.
well, it wasn’t exactly a toilet, it was an outhouse thing in a state park. my glasses fell in while i was changing from bathing suit to play clothes. no, they weren’t retrieved. we were told that the park had a list of items to look for at the end of the season when they “wintered” the outhouses. nooooo, way would i want anything back from an outhouse.
My 2-AA Mini-Maglite. I was at a local national park, and had to answer a call of nature around midnight. Took my flashlight into the outhouse, and held it between my chin and shoulder while stood there doing my business. Somehow, while I was zipping back up, it slipped out and fell right down the hole.
I didn’t even consider trying to retrieve it.
Girlfriend: Didn’t you have a flashlight when you headed over there?
Me: Umm…yeah…<mumble>…

Shamu reminded me . . .
Not a toilet, but once when I was about four I dropped my hat into the Sea Lions exhibit at Sea World. I know I got it back, but don’t know where it is now. It’s been a while.

These are great!
Biggirl, I can’t top you finding your kid in the toilet. That is just hilarious.
I just remembered another one. I was staying with my then-fiancé (Now wife) at her apartment. I had this ring my parents gave me for making Eagle Scout. I had just finished doing my business, got up and flushed the toilet like I always did before I showered. As the toilet was flushing, I pulled my ring off, but it sort of popped off of my finger and headed straight for the flushing toilet. My jaw dropped as I watched it swirl down with everything else. I was in a bad mood for the rest of the day.
I dropped my stash in the toilet a few times during my junkie period, always pissed me off big time.
Only once have I seen someone desperate enough to retrieve something from a toilet in a dirty Rave club with his nose and fingers. Although it was not from the water but the top part of the inside of the bowl (if that’s easy to picture…) And yes, it was a powdered substance.

One of my cats pushed my Gameboy into the toilet. I keep the lid down now.
So I was reading Stephen King’s Night Shift. It was a paperback and gotten from my dad’s room. I noticed it’s a little water logged, but hey! it’s a good book.
One day we leave a restaurant where I had been jawing a particularly tough piece of meat. Now a scrap is stuck in between my teeth. Working it with my tongue, fingers, whatever while I read the really creepy story about the huge albino rat and Dad drives us home. So I finally can’t take it anymore and I use the back cover of the book as dental floss to work out this huge piece of cow flesh. Dad sees this and just starts howling… He is laughing really hard. Of course, I say, “What?” He says, “The reason that book is waterlogged like that is I dropped it in the toilet!” Oh, great. Now the litttle brother in the back seat is rolling on the floor. So I’m gonna tough it out. “That’s ok… Little water never hurt anyone.” He laughs even louder. “I was peeing at the time!” Yuck… So how many of you have pulled something from the toilet and then put it in your mouth?
But still… as gross as chewing on that book cover was, I had to wonder… What in the hell was he doing reading a Stephen King book while he’s peeing!? I hope it’s not a genetic trait.
One time when I was five, one of my sisters either dropped or placed one of our cats in the toilet. I heard a commotion in the bathroom, which was right next to my room, and then I heard my mom and sisters talking and laughing about what had happened. Somehow I came to understand that they’d flushed the cat down the toilet, which understandably upset me quite a bit. It took them a second or two to figure out why I was so upset, but once they did the produced a wet and very pissed-off cat to assuage my fears that she’d been flushed.
I was talking to Mom when she got home. Actually, they had to replace Shamu with a new one!
lol
After reading all this, is it any wonder I have a phobia about something falling out my pocket into the toilet?
A few years back, at a Mountain Man Pre-1840s style Rendezvous campout, my little brother woke up bright and early, and wanted to go to our van (parked about a mile away) to get something or other, and got the keys from my father. The rest of us in the tent went back to sleep. We were rousted a while later by my brother’s panicked mumblings about “dropping the keys”. So, my father dutifully got up and was treated to “let’s retrieve the keys from the bottom of the porta-potty”. Almost all our tools were, of course… in the van. This was, mind you, the next to last day of the rendezvous, which had gone on now for nearly 8 days. Those porta-pottys were RIPE. The honey-wagon hadn’t been by for days. Eventually, someone found and came up with the idea of using a clotheshanger, un-bended and hooked at the end enough to retrieve the keys, to scoop them out of the froth. They were found, thankfully, and boiled for HOURS, literally. We used up a lot of wood in the fire that day.
Well, the other day at school I was in a really baaaad mood, and I dropped a whole bunch of combination locks into a toilet. [sub]I regretted it afterwards, though, I swear![/sub]
I did manage to drop my keys in the bowl once. Clean, thank god. What I would like to figure out, now, is how often folks accidently drop pills? I worked at a pharmacy, and more than once our “regulars” would come by with “I dropped in the can”, or “somebody took 'em out of my car”, or “I don’t think you gave me all of 'em last time”. How come it was always your NARCOTICS, folks? You usually straddle the toilet when you uncap your strong stuff?
A spoon.
A freind bet me ten dollars to use it.(Toilet was clean, mind you)
End result: I am seven dollars richer. (Bought Pepto Bismol)
I dropped my Keeper in the toilet last month. Fortunately the only thing in the toilet was blood from the Keeper, so I just reached in and grabbed it out. After much washing with painfully hot water and disinfectant soap, I put it back in. I lived. (so far!)
WOW! This is a HOOT! (Especially the one about the kitty being flushed!)
Well, my story is more of a purpose/accident I suppose.
About two weeks ago, my suitemates (college dorm) decieded that they were going to clean out the fridge. There was a jar of pickles in there that they didn’t like. They decieded that they wanted to recycle the jar, but what were they going to do with the pickles? Well, suitemate #1 thinks it would be a good idea if they flushed the pickles, because after all, they flush everything else. Suitemate #2 agrees. So, suitemate #1 proceedes to flush WHOLE pickles down the toilet FOUR (4) at a time!! (She said at first she was going to flush the whole jar at once, but she figured the potty would plug up.)
Well anyway, the potty DID plug up and we had to get our resident advisor. First she had suitemate #1 fish out any pickles that weren’t flushed and then she attempted to plunge the toilet. No luck. So they got the maitenance (sp?) and they thought that they might have to snake the pipes, but then they thought they would have to take the entire system apart. We had to use a neigbor’s toilet for the night and the next day.
Well, it turns out that all the toilet needed was a lot of good flushings. It works now (thank God!), and we still rip on her about it.
Our bathroom REEKED like pickles for a few days after. gag Our resident director was PISSED when he found out what happened, and usually he is a pretty easygoing guy!! Oh well. 
It was still really funny!
Any one want a pickle??? They’re fresh!
OpalCat what the hell is a Keeper? And why is so much blood involved? I’m picturing some kind of Medieval torture device, all spiky and metallic.

I love mine!
I’ve never dropped anything in the toilet, but I did once fish a dollar in quarters out of a public toilet. The water was clean, but in retrospect I can’t believe I did that.
AerialCartwheels:
I can see why you might try flushing pickles down the toilet. They are about the same size as most fecal matter (Not that I make it a point to look), and you were probably just curious.

Were the prescription pills in any sort of hard to open container? I’ve had pills given to me in a small, extremely challenging to open container, and when I finally get the darn thing open, pills litterally fly everywhere. I’ve always wondered why “child-proof” also means “Engineering student required”.
