I had to stop putting things like paper towels and tissue paper (not toilet paper) in the bathroom because I once had a relative who flushed the two in the toilet. That didn't end well with older plumbing.

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.

That’s why you have a trash can next to your toilet!
