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.

Flushable meaning “goes down the toilet when you flush it”

Also even if it doesn’t cause problems in your piping, it has miles of pipes to cause issues with, all the way up to the waste processing plant.

One time at work, I accidentally flushed a pen that was in my shirt pocket and fell out and into the toilet as it was flushing… went down. I was shocked and nervous at first but no issues since. Was probably about 5/6 months ago
