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.
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.
