Tenants called me with strange toilet stoppage. Two guys. If they peed in it, the toilet worked fine. If poop, it clogs for a while and then goes down. Pulled the toilet and the main line was clear. Put it back. Flushed a few times, worked fine. Left.

Tenants called again. Same problem. Finally took a look at the toilet outlet. Plastic picnic fork had fallen in and got stuck. Tines were pointing upward. When poop/paper combination flushed, it got caught on the tines.
