Toilet is blocked... HELP...

[king2005]

2 days ago i used the toilet twice while no one was home. It worked just fine. Then the boys came home & it is now blocked... The plundger isn't helping at all.. not even a little bit... All 3 of us are still young & not too sure what the heck to do & don't really want to call a plumber, as were low on $$ as its the end of the month & we spent too much on the new dogs(we we're baaaaaaad).

I was thinking of buying a snake... does anyone know approx. the price of a snake compaired to a plumber?

I wont touch the snake, as I have some retarded phobia of it. My dad use to have to keep it out of sight other wise I wouldn't go anywhere I could see it... Just thinking of this thing, is freaking me out

Oh a snake will do the trick..
We have 4 bathrooms- and last year the most infrequent used one clogged up- it would run but very slow. After trying the plunger rountines etc, he got out the snake and 25 feet down snagged something- pulled it up.. it uh was one of Zubins rubber bones... My husband said a few more feet it would have hit the septic tank and then we would have had a real mess on our hands.
As far as cost- I do not know compared to a plumber, but a snake is one of those things- once paid for it saves all the future service calls etc..

Do you own or rent? If you rent, call the building manager.

We rent.
Should the building manager fix it for free? We're inexperienced in this aswell.. GAH being young sucks at times lol


EDIT:
toilet info
Just incase the manager wont do it for free.. Is this site accurate? I'm only interested inthe plunger/snake part.. NOT the removal of a toilet.. I'm not crazy lol
