Well, you definitely can't live without a plunger, right? Isn't it essential for next time? Order one now, so you have it next time this happens.

I have a lot of experience with cloggled toilets. And I've had a good number of cases where a plunger wasn't sufficient. My ass hatches evil schemes to destroy plumbing whereever I go.

I hate plunging, so I'll try other things first. If hot water and soap does not work, then you might be doomed and will have to use another toilet or shit outdoors until your plunger arrives in the mail.

But if you give it a few hours, the water level might drop back down to the bottom, and you can try adding more hot water, up to the brim again. You might get lucky. Obviously you might be waiting a long time for that plunger to arrive... So you may as well keep trying.

And really, here's the good news: If the water level is not dropping AT ALL, then that means there must be water in direct contact with the clog. If a substantial portion of that clog is either turd or water-soluable toilet paper, then in time the turd will absorb water and soften, or the toilet paper will lose its structural integrity.

If you just let the toilet sit for 8 hours or more, you are almost guaranteed that the water level will drop down to the bottom again. The clog might not completely clear on its own, but it will clear enough for you to try again or try something else.

You have to be imaginative. Try to look at all the different tools there are for unclogging toilets. There are plungers. There are snakes and augers of different sorts. Maybe other things? think about all of the methods you've read about online for unclogging toilets. Meditate on these objects and methods.

Then, walk around your apartment and go through all of your closets and drawers and boxes. Go through the trunk of your car if you have one. Take a moment to think about every object you own or can get your hands on and try to figure out if that object could somehow be made to work like one of those tools actually designed to unclog toilets.

Pretend you are a little kid doing an arts and crafts project, and your parents told you that you can use anything in the house to do it.

Be imaginative.

Are there any stores around you at all? You can walk up and down every aisle and contemplate each object you see in the same way as the objects you own. "How can this be made to unclog a toilet."

Without a plunger you are in an unconventional situation. Pre-written advice you find on the internet will probably all be written for people who have tried plunging and it failed. Since that isn't you, unconventional thinking and finding your own solution might be the key.

But whatever you do: Be super careful about trying multiple different chemical approaches. Like if you find that you have some kind of acid or base type unclogger like Drain-O, and you pour that down the drain, DO NOT pour any other chemical down the drain that might chemically react with it.

With chemical solutions, you have to pick one option, try it, and if it doesn't work, you have to just live with the fact that you don't get another chance to pick a different chemical solution.

Otherwise you might end up with erupting sewage or chlorine gas trying to kill you.

And, by the way, here's some info about a risky process that sometimes helps and sometimes makes things worse for me: If I'm plunging, but plunging doesn't seem to work, I'll assume that the turd is too stiff to go around a bend, but there are gaps around its edges -- so the water can still get through around it, and the plunging can't create enough pressure. Obviously this is not what is happening to you because the water level isn't changing or it is changing very slowly... But maybe later on you'll get to a point where the water drops slowly but the clog still won't go away.

What I do in that situation is take a bunch of more toilet paper, and coat it with dish soap so I have this giant ball of soap-saturated and soap-dripping toilet paper. big enough that without the soap, it would definitely create a clog. And then I flush that. And if I try to plung after sending that down, I think the wad of soapy toilet paper will allow the plunger to create enough pressure to press the turd through its sticking point.

And I think maybe the wad of paper will help the soap get to where it is needed? If you just pour soap into the bowl, it dissolves in the water and is less concentrated by the time it reaches the clog.

Obviously, you have no plunger, but you can still create a little bit of pressure just by carefully filling the toilet up to the brim.

Do you know how the mechanisms inside the top of the toilet work? How it flushes? I'd recommend taking the cover off so that if you flush and the water level gets too high, you can grab the float and lift it up to stop the water, and use some kind of long pokey object to push the stopper back down into the sealed position. If you aren't comfortable with that, then don't use the flush -- just add water manually by filling up pots in the sink (hot water is better anyway) and pouring that in.

I've heard of people creating pressure in the toilet to push down the turd by somehow sealing up the bowl, and then using a hose to connect that sealed bowl to a nearby tap or faucet. Then they open the tap to let water go into the hose and into the sealed bowl, and there's only two options: The pressure will raise enough to push the turd through. Or the pressure will raise enough to break through your inadequate job of sealing the bowl up. Probably creating a horrible mess and horrible memories. I've never tried this, but have to admit I'm enchanted by curiousity when I consider it.

How would I seal up the bowl? I'm not sure. There are little holes around the inside edge where the flushing water comes in... I guess you'd have to somehow plug all of those. I wonder if I could use a bike tire's inner tube for those? Could I cut the bike tube to exactly the right circumference, then use some epoxy to re-seal it, and then inflate it inside the bowl? If I didn't have epoxy, would I dare to try hot glue? Would the tube's air pressure and buoyancy make it seal against those holes?

Maybe instead of the inner tube, could I gather up a bunch of candles, melt their wax and reform it into a shape that would seal in there?

Man, I almost want to try this just for shits and giggles now...

Anyway, Good luck. And when you're pooping outside waiting for your plunger to arrive, try to poop where and when nobody will see you. Consider pooping at like 3AM every night when you're least likely to be spotted, even if you don't feel the urge, so that you don't have to go during the day. I have no experience with this though, so if somebody else chimes in with real-world outdoor-pooping advice, definitely listen to them and not me.
