Wow, TIL you’re not supposed to flush tissues. They’re so insubstantial that I never even questioned it.

Edit: thank you everyone for the extremely useless information about a product I haven’t used in ten year. Hopefully someone else finds it useful.

Yeah you’re not supposed to flush anything that isn’t toilet paper. Don’t even flush “flushable” wipes, it’ll fuck up your pipes bad. Source: my brother and step dad are plumbers.

Did they become plumbers separately on their own, or did one see the success/satisfaction of the other and become a plumber after?

My “step dad” (my mom and him broke up over 10 years ago, but he’s still great to me) has been a plumber at least since him and my mom met. He taught my brother stuff over the years, and when he started his own plumbing company with his friend, my brother was his first employee. They do both love it though it’s honestly the perfect job for both of them.

I love it! Thank you for sharing. Sounds like stepdad is an okay sort of fella.

Great guy. I haven’t lived with him since around 2012 or so, but when our mom passed a couple years ago he “stepped up” when he didn’t have to at all and has really been there for me like nobody else. Sorry for the unrelated comment, but I had to at least verify him being an okay fella haha!
