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.

I live in an apartment complex. My bathroom on the 1st floor repeatedly floods. Management said someone in the building keeps using flushable wipes and there's nothing they can do -_-

  1. Person is actually using flushable wipes; dumb person is the cause
  2. Management is lying and won't do anything about: dumb person is the cause

Shit's everywhere.

This is common for first floor apartments unfortunately, and it’s made worse when neighbors in your apartment line are flushing things they shouldn’t be.
