There’s a ton of places that can’t handle toilet paper in their sewage systems.
This was at a Dunkin' Donuts in Massachusetts.
America has some of the worst public utilities in the world.
Then again, they say do flush it, so I'm guessing theirs can handle it but they have a large immigrant population from somewhere that cannot who is used to not flushing it.
Rural people or people on septic too.
Reread the sign.
"MUST BE FLUSHED IN THE TOILET. PLEASE DO NOT THROW THEM IN THE TRASH CAN."
Idk if they're on septic or main, but regardless the issue on the sign is that it CAN, nay MUST be flushed NOT thrown in the trash.
Therefore, "nuh uh."
I read the sign and it is a great reminder for people who are not used to flushing toilet paper.
I am confusion, I must have misinterpreted your last reply, my mistake!
It was pretty vague so you’re not to blame.
No pictures for the illiterate/dyslexic people. I give them a pass.
Seems more likely this is because they have visitors from places with poor sewage who default to tossing toilet paper in the trash.
Far more common to see signs saying what cannot be flushed.
The last air BNB I had that was connected to the sewer service and still demanded the visitors use the garbage can and "not flush anything that didn't come out of you."
I'm not going to pay for the privilege of smelling everyone's shitty paper, having to clean everything and still get ass fucked by fines.
Fuck that crazy shit air BNB got stupid, I'll never use that shit again.
That's what happens when your plumbing was very poorly designed and you don't want to destroy half the building to redo it, I suppose.
The plumbing was fine it was a new house in the city connected to the sewer system.
The owner was just neurotic
