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.

    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.
