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.
Also puke…
But I find a lot of people flush paper towels in public restrooms because there are a lot of seat pissers out there and they use paper towels instead of toilet paper to clean them.
Unless the paper towels are of a reinforced type of paper, usually, every paper present at a bathroom is water soluble.
That is not true. I’ve dealt with several clogged toilets due to people using paper towels and there are a lot of signs in a lot of rest rooms telling people not to flush paper towels.
As I read the thread again I was on the verge of thinking I was thinking about kitchen paper towels.
I have to insist on my original stance. The zig-zag paper towels commonly found in public bathrooms, where I live, almost melt when in contact with water. I buy them to my own house, to use as tissues, as the paper is soft enough for such use. I use them in my workplace. I find them at cafes, supermarkets and shopping centers. Every single time, so fragile it requires several towels for one to dry their hands and it makes no difference how much you ball it up, as the paper starts to fray and dissolve has it soaks.
I do not doubt you but the nearly indestructible paper towels were a thing some ten years ago, here, not anymore.
None of the ones I’ve used melt in water. If anything, the newer ones I’ve seen have become more durable to water.
Maybe where you live uses special paper towels, but I’m reasonably well traveled and I have yet to encounter paper towels that could be flushed. Whenever I see a sign to not flush something, it includes paper towels.
