this first note was posted in the bathroom of the gay pride center in new brunswick, new jersey; the second, in the bathroom of the rhode island department of health in providence.
i’d probably recommend steering clear of the kitchen sinks at both facilities.

Since when do you not get to flush toilet paper? I mean… really…

Do not flush anything so that means to go ahead and poop in the sink?
Boy that fecal mist is really going to fly!

Toilet paper into the garbage disposal? Man, and I thought the fecal mist from flushing the toilet was bad. Why don’t they just say, “Please throw all shit into the fan.”

The first note makes me wonder what kind of things were getting flushed to make someone put up this note.
It makes me think of a rest stop on highway 280 on the way to SF that had signs: “No Sex In the Bathrooms”
Damn the gays, they are always ruining everything for everyone else!!

My Mom used to chuck garbage into the sink. I always wondered why she did that; we had never, ever had a garbage disposal.

I find shitting in the sink much more convenient than the shower; the counter gives a much more supportive seat to rest on while I ignore my work for longer than 15 minutes.

you can’t flush toilet paper in Greece. You have to put it in the trash. At least that is the case in Athens.

*wonders if that cat she ran over last week was kerry’s and that’s why she hasn’t posted my P/A gold that I submitted and instead chooses more toilet humor*
Not that I’m criticizing the PANGoddess or anything… I would NEVER do that!

It brings up a good question.
Why hasn’t anybody invented a toilet with a garbage disposal/grinder attachment?

This reminds me of a sign on Engrish that says “For Restrooms, Go back toward your behind.”

So, the Depatment of HEALTH recommends that you throw your garbage in the TOILET? Yeah, that sounds so much easier and cleaner than, oh, say, getting a TRASH CAN!

Anyone with her own private island care to comment about the flushing power of the toilet, or the mincing power of a garbage disposal?

Well, I don’t have a garbage disposal, so I flush shit down the toilet. It’s not like most leftover food or whatever isn’t roughly shit-sized anyway. And for the bigger stuff like human limbs or whatever, I just cut them up into shit-sized pieces first. Easy peasy.

Did it say where the note was from? In quite a few southern european countries (in greece for example), you’re not supposed to flush toilet paper.
I believe it has sth. to do with them not having a real canalization but pit drainage (is that the correct word?) It ends up on fields, that’s what I’m trying to say. Not a nice thought, but it explains, why they’d rather not have heaps of paper and sanitary pads on there.

To flush or not to flush?
Depends.
Seriously, the adult diapers. I get really tired of navigating the nuanced terrain of public toilet etiquette so I just slap on a fresh diaper every morning and go about my day. I suppose I could discard food scraps in them as well, but I simply don’t generate that much seeing as how I’m normal and avoid lunches/snacks that require a lot of preparation. When did the sandwich become so unpopular?

I’m confused by the second one. Do I have to divvy things up for the toilet AND the flush toilet?

I couldn’t think of a clever remark, I literally just read the sign and said “Uh, whaaat?” But it makes me wonder if even flushing water does something awful. Should the water go down the disposal? What is the use of the toilet? WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS?

If these two notes were placed in the same bathroom it could create a huge sanitation paradox.
It would be a very long time before I worked out what the fuck to do with the carrier bag I just crapped in.

The first note makes perfect sense, if you’ve been to Middlesex County, NJ lately, you know that many of the people there haven’t been in the country long.
I read somewhere that they don’t flush toilet paper in some countries…damned if I can remember where though.

I’m actually all for the filthy hap pit. No more toilets, sinks, sanitary boxes, garbage disposals or baskets. Inside a restroom will just be a giant pit. A giant pit that goes to the center of the Earth.
Unfortunately, we’ll probably end up needing a sign for this too. “Everything goes in the pit. Yes, that too.”

I’m not a woman but what in the world would a “Super Heavy Flow” Sanitary Napkin do to a garbage disposal? How would you like to be cleaning strawberries in that sink after the “nasty” girl just ground her maxi pad in the disposal. It would have to sound as terrible as it sounds; probably a lot like grinding up that teddy bear from the fabric softener commercials. Eww is a major understatement.
