Best Answer

If you live in a city that maintains sewer and water lines, there may have been some work going on in which the sewer lines were being suctioned and cleared of debris; if your Plumbing is in good working order and the building in which the toilet was located in was close enough to the suction, the toilet would 'flush' on its own. Another circumstance would involve dumping over a gallon of fluid into the bowl, causing emptying based on gravity alone.
