Have you ever heard of someone who doesn't flush their toilet paper down the toilet in the bathroom?

[MCheetah]

I apologize for the disgusting subject matter, but I need to know. Do you know anyone who doesn't flush their TP after using it? Like, they dispose of it in the trash or a waste bin something?

This is inspired by this question, plus my answer to it about my friend's girlfriend's sister, plus some Korean public restrooms I've seen that made me want to vomit.

I've only ever known to flush that crap, and I assumed everyone else did too. But now, I'm starting to doubt it. Are there really people such people out there who put their used toilet paper in a waste bin.

I've only ever known people who flush toilet paper.

I've known people who dispose their toilet paper other than flushing.

Other.

And this is regarding using toilet paper for number one (female peeing) or number two (pooping.) Not stuff like wiping down the sink or for makeup.

Some houses have septic tanks.


Some septic tanks were designed by idiots and will break if the brand of toilet paper takes too long to dissolve.


Having a septic tank fixed is wildly expensive and makes the entire neighborhood smell like a party in the sewer.

[MCheetah]

So these people just don't flush their sh*tty TP? Which is partly a toilet is designed for?

[NotTacocaT6969]

Imagine if flushing your shitty tP caused all of the shit and piss from months to explode into your house costing thousands of dollars to clean and fix.(but the smell is forever)

Would you still flush it?

[MCheetah]

If my plumbing was that sh*tty, pun-half-intended, I'd just use an outhouse or a hole in the back yard.

[NotTacocaT6969]

A fair solution, but some people would rather just put shitty tp in the garbage. 🤷‍♂️

[Sirenboobzilla]

Usually just anyone with a septic tank. My dad forbids paper in the toilet.

[MCheetah]

How common is that, though? Most homes don't have septic tanks underneath, I believe.

And wouldn't poop be a bigger clog hazard than toilet paper?
I legit did not know THIS many people didn't flush their dirty TP until now.

[Sirenboobzilla]

Usually homes with septic tanks are the ones who actively avoid flushing paper. Poop is more likely to clog the immediate bend in the toilet l, but will always eventually break down to water, or faster with chemicals or bleach. Waste paper though is more a hazard for septic systems as a large amount of it can clog pipes leading out of it which can make the system back up in to the house and the yard. Our neighbor went through that and it smelled like a city's worth of shit, and we lived just outside of NYC. My plumbing is connected to the sewer so we don't have to worry about clogs in the same way

[MCheetah]

Interesting. I did not know any of this. I know a lot of knowledge about a lot of things, but this wasn't one of them.

Yeah, a lady I take care of wipes and throws it out. Where I am our septic systems are designed to be able to accommodate toilet paper. But she’s an elderly lady and grew up with outhouses as opposed to indoor plumbing so for her it’s common. Also gives me a chance to actually make sure there’s no discharge or potential infections (gross I know but necessary)


And on vacation in Costa Rica it was commonplace to wipe and discard as their septic tanks can’t accommodate toilet paper without clogging. I think it’s the same for other countries. So it’s pretty common.

[Aerissa_Jade]

I know a man, who doesn't have indoor plumbing, so he burns his... he is so far off the grid, doesn't want to be on the grid.

I bet that is one stinky fire.

Well I have only seen it flushed, I have seen someone manage to shit in a urinal and shit beside the toilet in. public restrooms but I haven't once SEEN, shitty TP outside the toilet in a garbage hahaha that's pretty weird

No, I have never seen this. I think it is a Korean thing maybe.
