The AP wants you to know that your special delicate snowflake butthole is causing a problem:
BEMUS POINT, New York (AP) — Increasingly popular bathroom wipes – pre-moistened towelettes that are often advertised as flushable – are being blamed for creating clogs and backups in sewer systems around the U.S.
Wastewater authorities say wipes may go down the toilet, but even many labeled flushable aren’t breaking down as they course through the sewer system. That’s costing some municipalities millions of dollars to dispatch crews to unclog pipes and pumps and to replace and upgrade machinery.
Quit it with the “flushable” wipes. You’re not an infant. And if you are an infant who is somehow reading this right now, you should be throwing the flushable wipes away with your diapers, anyway.
Ha! I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE WITH THAT HEADLINE!! GOOD ONE!! BECAUSE, LIKE, “ASSHOLES” IS A DOUBLE ONTAWNDRA THING IN THIS CONTEXT!! I NEVER GET TIRED OF CREATIVE HEADLINES LIKE THIS!! DON’T SEE ENOUGH OF THEM!!
A thought experiment for you, Paul. If you had feces on any other part of your body, would you wipe it off with just toilet paper?
Yeah, I’ll keep my wipes thank you. In a perfect world I’d have a bidet, but in the meantime I’ll have to settle for wipes. Sit down toilets and toilet paper are the grossest thing the west has ever adopted.
Wow, Andy. That’s a lot of sharing. How exactly do you shit without using a “sit down toilet”?
Blabby, that’s just how they do it in Beaverton.
In Beaverton they just drop a little trou while walking, just like horses.
I wipe my ass on specially trained baby kittens. When you’re done they clean themselves so they’re ready to re-use. It’s the greenest way to go and also saves money on cat food.
I just have a one-man human centipede thing going.
