Is it normal to insult someone who accidentally stops up a toilet?

Ever since I was young, I have had a history of clogging up the toilet at our home and once, even at one of my aunt's houses. It has always been accidental when it has happened. It's always been difficult for me to gauge how much paper is too much. There's also been the issue of my unpredictable bowels when this has happened. Anyway, in recent years, this has become a pretty infrequent and rare occurrence. Despite this, my mother has taken to insulting me when it does happen. She tells me that I am acting like a three year old simply because I accidentally clog the toilet. I don't understand the logic behind this. It throughly hurts my feelings when she says these things. I think that it could even be considered a form of emotional and verbal abuse. Whenever, I try to get her to see the error of her words, she refuses to listen to reason and repeatedly tries to shut me down. Is this normal?

            A massive, above the water line poop can be quite impressive. I look back and think, "my God, that came out of me!"

              I pretend it's a porter potty and I have no mercy. The more flies the better. It's also great when the room temp is 85 degrees or more

    • I could and I have. However, the paper usually gets a hole in it when I do this. You think that I enjoy being able to feel my dirty anus with my bare fingers?

    "I think that it could even be considered a form of emotional and verbal abuse."

    Oh come on - that IS acting like a three year old.

    Frankly, if it's a case of you using unnecessary amounts of toilet paper resulting in a blockage and you've done this since you were a kid, then she has a legitimate reason to be annoyed.

    Do you have a learning disability or IBS? If not, then why I haven't you adapted your behaviour so you avoid causing such an inconvenience? In my opinion, you should stop being so sensitive, but more importantly, stop using so much toilet paper.

    • I grew up in an abusive situation and she certainly did not help the situation. She let the abuse go on and didn't allow me to properly get the help I needed. I am pretty certain that by now, I know how to tell the difference between abusive and non-abusive behavior. If anything, it is her that doesn't know this.

      I have IBS as well as a history of bizarre neurological issues, none of which have ever been properly diagnosed. It has long been theorized by others, as well as myself, that I may have Aspergers'.

      I don't use that much toilet paper on average. I only use more than average if I am having bowel issues.

    Dear Poll Creator, I am very sorry you have to go through this. Defecation and toilet issues are pretty devastating for people. It often isn't the paper, it's the poo. Unfortunately, there isn't too much you can do, other than poo, flush, poo some more, flush some more. My heart goes out to you- it's got to be awful to deal with so many personal frightenings and then have Mom be a bitch about it. I'd like to punch her.
    Also- anyone who commands you to "stop being so sensitive" is an insensitive jerk who often believes he "should" be able to fix his own issues so DUH, so should you (but you go first).

    • The plunger splashes. When the water is near the opening and steadily rising, it is very nerve-wracking and scary. (I have a severe phobia of water) We also had the house redone and it scares me that the water could get on the floor, leak down to the kitchen and destroy the ceiling. This happened before we got the house fixed, but we had plumbing issues. I usually fish the toilet paper with a hanger and that usually works.

    Well then don't use the whole roll at once to clean your ass.

    • I used to… Or, I would either do more than that amount or less, like half a roll.

    I'm afraid this will come off as sarcastic, but my advice is use less toilet paper. However, if that's not an option, then flush in between every couple of wipes.

    On another note, there's absolutely no reason for you to STILL be clogging the toilet; put more effort into learning how not to clog the toilet. Perhaps it would be helpful to have someone you know (who does not regularly clog the toilet) show you how much toilet paper they use.

    • I have a history of bizarre neurological issues (I am not mentally retarded), if this makes any difference. I don't consider myself using that much toilet paper on average. I only use more than average if I am having bowel troubles.

        If these neurological issues cause you to have anxiety or stress that interferes with your digestive system, I can understand why you'd have bowel problems. If toilet paper isn't the issue, then you need to flush several times. Flush before you wipe, and every couple of wipes thereafter.

    I'm glad that you're getting better at something that is obvious to most people. Although, it distresses me that you still blame other people for your failings when it does not go right.

    • I wasn't blaming her. What made you think that I was blaming her? This wasn't my intention. What upsets me is that she calls me these terrible things.

    "You're acting like a three year old"

    She should be glad she didn't say that shit to me cause I would have went 0 to 60 in 3 seconds.
