+--- Thread: Do you flush the toilet paper? - or do you throw it away in the trash can (/showthread.php?tid=7115)
- PatCooper - 08-10-2003
Ok someone told me today that flushing the toilet paper down the toilet is bad for the pipes. He said it clogs the pipes up. He told me that after he uses the paper he throws it in the trash can and then empties the can after leaving the bathroom.I was dumb founded to hear this. So does anyone else not flush the toilet paper?
- crx girl - 08-10-2003
uh, no
- Hoon - 08-10-2003
I've heard of people who do it.
I didn't get into depth with them about it and assumed they left the tp in the trash 'till it was full.
It's way disgusting but some people do justify it.

sounds like a lot of work to me. It's easier to call a plumber to fix the clogged pipe.

or just plunge it down yourself. toilet paper disintegrates in water. what the fuck kinda weirdos do you hang out with anyway?

Or not use so much paper and take a shower or use a bidet.

when you plunge don't you bring it back up not push back down?
And i too think it disintergrates in water but i would think years and years of paper would clog the pipes up. And your pipes join with the rest of the neighbors on your block. Just think of all that toilet paper in the sewers right now. It's an enviromental disaster.

He is an idiot.
Tell him so. Toilet paper was specifically designed to disintegrate in water.
Tissue paper is built with moisture to avoid irritation of the nose and designed to expand to hold snot. If flushed, it will expand, and could potentially clog the pipes. The exact same thing is the case with paper towels, and to a lesser extent, some napkins. The whole expanding in water thing is the reason why it's horrible to flush tampons down the toilet.
Anyway....toilet paper was specifically designed knowing that it is to be flushed. That's simultaneously one of the dumbest and grossest things I've heard an adult do.

If you put toilet paper that has touched your asshole anywhere but the toilet you should be fucking shot in the head on principle alone.

Quote:Tissue paper is built with moisture to avoid irritation of the nose and designed to expand to hold snot.Are you using "N.A.S.A." brand tissues? I've never seen one that didn't get a hole blown in it when you blow your nose. If your tissues have enough technology in them to expand precisely when you blow, you should probably send them to the govt. You may have some secret weapon that was accidently leaked to the public.
- Goatweed - 08-10-2003
uh, Galt is right - it's not designed to withstand gale-force winds, but most tissue is designed to deal with blowing one's nose. And if you buy cheap-shit generic brands, chances are they'll fall apart anyway.

Where was your friend raised?
- IrishAlkey - 08-10-2003
He probably drags his ass along the carpet.
- Keyser Soze - 08-10-2003
My dog has better manners. He licks his own ass clean.
- Hoon - 08-10-2003
You say we throws it in the trash can then empties it into the main trash?
Everytime he shits?
One trash bag per poop paper?
This guy has more $ than brains.
- Keyser Soze - 08-10-2003
He's got shit for brains.
