This is my situation:
As you will appreciate, a perfume bottle is stuck in the bowl. There's very little space over the bottle and none on the bottom or sides. I can raise the bottle to make space on the bottom but that leaves no space at the top. I can't grab it since my fingertips slip away.
I'm not a plumber nor I'm rich, and would like to be able to remove the bottle without having to act as, or hire a plumber. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

A shop vac should pull it out.

Bend a coat hanger so you can slide it past the bottle, then pull it back.

As others have posted, use a shop vac or bend a piece of wire to fish it out. If all else fails, sponge mop all the water out of the bowl, dry the bottom of the bottle really good (use a hair dryer if you have one) and stick a piece of duct tape to the bottom of the bottle, gently pull it out while saying "come to mama"

Had tried the wire hanger route with no success (not a patient man) end was going the vac route next. However, Fixitangel's suggestion worked like a charm. Appreciate everyone's help, though. Best to all of you!!!
