I am often diagusted with the things people throw in the toilet. Tampons, condoms, menstrual pads, baby diapers, colostomy bag seals, underwear…
Walk into a public access bathroom and the filth is just waiting to be witnessed. And the bigger the venue, the higher the chance.
Aren’t people aware of what they are doing? The clogs they build in the pipes? Because if they do this outside, then have to do it at home.
p.s
I feel the need to add a clarification of what the three P’s are, being:
- pee
- poo
- paper (toilet)
This list is being slowly added to, in real time, and more P’s are entering it. Namely:
- puke
- period
- pilosity
I’ll update this as I stumble into new P’s but I doubt the original mnemonic will recognize updates.

Ah yes
Pee
Poo
PetuniasI was confused what the three p’s were. You say pee, poop, and (toilet) paper.
I think it needs also puke and blood. Does blood have a word that works in that? Cause I add blood every single month and I’m not going to start dumping that anywhere but the toilet lol
“Period” works
Oh no no, it’s not my blood!
Expired milk
Yes, I throw in other things besides pee, poop, and Pepsi: Toilet paper
/s
Don’t forget about boogers and cum.
Pfeces, purine, and ptoilet ptissue
Purine
Poo, pee and paper, if you insist.
I thought the third was puke so I guess add that to the list for me.
You’ve discovered the fourth P!
What about pubes? They do fall in sometimes, you know.
Used to be the fourth p was porn. Now it’s phone.
We used to be a country.
I’m sure there’s someone out there who needs to be explicitly told that this is toilet paper, not printer paper or newspaper or graphing paper or any other kind. Just toilet paper.
And not any kind of wet wipes either. So-called “flushable” wipes are false advertising, do NOT flush them. They WILL clog the pipes.
I’m probably preaching to the choir, but there’s a chance someone learns this for the first time from this comment.
There are wet wipes specifically made to be flushable and safe for such end, being isent of plastic, but most people think baby wipes are the same. Which they are not.
Yup, they’re lying. As the other person said, these wipes marketed as “flushable” are directly responsible for a lot of blockages.
Except there are products marketed as “flushable” that are only flushable in the sense they are able to be flushed. They will clog up your pipes and not break down.
I’ve remembered vaguely reading some evidence that “flushable” wipes are partially responsible for fatbergs.
So do not flush flushable wipes
I don’t know where you are talking from but in my country that falls under false advertising and is punishable with hefty fines, especially because cloggings of sewer systems by such products are charged to the origin, which is becoming easier to do. The dumbest person on the land would start thinking if they got charged for a sewer clean-up more than once.
Good ole U S of A. State to state can vary a bit but it’s unlikely any states have the ability to go after the manufacturer. They are likely headquartered in a very “business friendly” state.
Knowing the US we probably have some bullshit legalese that defines “flushable” as “able to be flushed, but not held responsible for clogging.”
We do so much to allow corporations to get away with whatever they want while appearing to make laws for people… Food laws are similar. Can’t name synthetic chocolate as chocolate, but you can call your product chocolatey… How does a consumer actually know what that means?
I wish the p was silent.
People do this all the time, all across the planet. People are just stupid. My brother works in sewage waste management in Norway, and it’s a clusterfuck of literally anything you can think of.
His most surreal find was a ripped up wedding dress.
My hopes and dreams…
Absolutely not. I have a septic system and my hopes and dreams would plug up the drainage field. That’s a very expensive repair.

Anyone with body hair is going to lose a handful down there every year. This is not to say that you should deliberately throw full mats of hair (or beard) trimmings down there, but the system has to be able to cope with the occasional H along with the Ps. And so stray hairs I see on the floor or my clothing when I’m in there for a while might find their way into the pot.
My biggest recurrent crime is probably nail trimmings.
ETA: Vomit. Not a regular occurrence, for which both my plumbing and myself are thankful.
Isn’t puke the third P?
Pee, poo, paper (toilet).
I haven’t seen bugs mentioned.
If there’s a creepy crawly that is better off dead (ie invasive species), then that thing is being grabbed with a wad of tissue and thrown in the toilet.
I do this with ticks so they don’t go latch onto someone else in the house. Or me.
I’d be so irrationally worried that some super-tick would survive the flush and crawl back up the pipe for a revenge bite to the ass or balls.
Fuck, I’m glad I don’t live where ticks are a problem.
The “Super Ticks” have to do battle with the chickens.
Golf balls, of course.
Ashes from cigarettes expired, or just particularly greasy, foods
Don’t. That grease sticks to the pipes inner walls. It builds up a crust that has the capacity to trap other things in it.
Sometimes, a little bit of beard hair.
To the spirit of your question, no.
But to be pedantic, yes. Sometimes I pick up a random small piece of filth off the floor or whatever and the toilet is just right there. And when I mop my floor (once every 1000 years or so), you bet I pour the bucket of dirty water down the toilet, and that’s not technically one of the 3 P’s.
And very rarely, I have a strand of hair that fell from my head (I have long hair) and I just can’t be bothered to fight with the physics of making it fit into the trash bin, so I drop it into the toilet and leave it there until the next flush. It’s probably bad, but it’s a very rare occurrence.
Yes, it’s bad, and it doesn’t matter if it’s a rare occurence. Really, how many hairs will build up in your toilets drain after a thousand years of “rare” occurences? It’ll build up, and my guess is you’d have to clear that out every two thousand years. It would honestly be such a pain… just throw it in the trash yo.
Free tip: every now and then, dump some bleach down your drains. It dissolves hair and the fat from soaps and creams.
