The people doing this are from other countries and this is not a new issue.
They don’t have access to running water or what we think of as a toilet.
Additionally, they live in homes/apartments that are rented and think that the plumbing just gets magically fixed.
If they had to pay for the repairs they would learn in short order what goes in the toilet and what goes in the trash.
I’m reminded of a sign in a bathroom, in Puerto Aventura, Mexico:
“Do not put anything in this toilet that was eaten first!”
I’ve noticed in the last several years,people using paper towels as toilet paper.
This has lead to paper towels being thinner.
I assume you meant NOT eaten first? Otherwise what’s them point ?
Reminds me of going into the rest room after someone who happens to be an immigrant. Big dump, unflushed, in the toilet. No toilet paper used. Ewwwww.
Are you positive that it didn’t say “Do not put anything in this toilet that was NOT eaten first!”
