I think the flapper is not closing properly. Try adjusting the flapper or replacing the flapper with a new one.

Can toilet bowl water back up in tank when flushed?
NO.
What should you do if you have not flushed an upstairs toilet for about five months and the bowl is now completely dry?
Yes you can flush it. It's possible for a toilet trap to go dry after that much time. When you flush just make sure you check to see if the bowl is leaking.

If leaking at floor when flushed, wax ring needs replaced. If water leaks between tank and bowl when flushed, tank to bowl gasket needs replaced.

Does the water in a toilet is flushed spin one way in the northern hemisphere and spin the opposite direction in the southern hemisphere?
No, the water in a toilet does not spin one way in the northern hemisphere and spin the opposite direction in the southern hemisphere. The spin of the water in a toilet is determined by the shape of the toilet bowl and the flush system, not by the direction of the Earth's rotation. In a toilet, the water is flushed by a flushing mechanism. This flushing mechanism is usually activated by pushing a lever or pushing a button, and it causes water to be released from the tank into the bowl. The shape of the toilet bowl, as well as the type of flushing mechanism, determines how the water will move once it enters the bowl. When the toilet is flushed, the water quickly fills the bowl and then begins to swirl around. The force of the swirling water will cause it to push against the sides of the bowl and create a whirlpool effect. As the water circles around the bowl, the shape of the bowl determines the direction in which the water will spin. The water will usually spin in a clockwise direction in the northern hemisphere and in a counterclockwise direction in the southern hemisphere. The spin of the water in a toilet is determined by the shape of the toilet bowl and the type of flushing mechanism, not by the direction of the Earth's rotation. The shape of the bowl and the type of flush system will determine the direction in which the water will spin, regardless of which hemisphere the toilet is located in.

What happens when you flush a cigarette down a toilet?
Yes they could, especially if they all don't get flushed away properly. Filter tips do not break down and may accumulate, eventually causing a blockage. All that should be flushed down a toilet bowl is toilet paper, faecal matter, and urine.
Why would the water be hot in the toilet bowl all the time not only when flushed?
I would think because the room temperature is warm, or possibly warmer than usual.
Can snails live in a toilet?
Only if you feed them and have water circulation. If you flush the toilet often or use it for it's main purpose, the snails will probably be flushed away or poisoned. If you clean the toilet bowl and they are living there they will be killed. They can, however, probably live in the tank of the toilet, considering that the water circulates. With no source of food, though, they will die. ~Wigglerthefish Fish Help Forum
If the toilet tank completely empties does that give the toilet more flushing power?
It will flush longer, but not with more power. The bowl empties when it reaches a certain level.
If I have hemmorrhoids and diarrhea and take a dump on a public toilet and some dude or chick who has aids took a dump on the toilet earlier will splash back from my diarrheal discharge give me aids?
One would hope the last person flushed when they were done or if not, you flushed before using that particular toilet. One would also assume that if there were feces on the seat you would not use it. Once flushed, the one or two possible viruses that might still be in the toilet bowl would be killed by the chlorine in the water. It takes very little to kill the virus outside of the body.
How do you remove urine stains from a toilet bowl?
toilet cleaner, or Windex if it is the outside of the toilet bowl.
