Toilet etiquette!

[sgttami]

I was in the store the other day and noticed  the packages that used to say flushable wipes now just say "WIPES."

 

New and improved packaging?...   lol

Sorry to dispel this myth.  The toilet tissue on ships is thin due to them using pallet loads of it each week, and to keep cost down.  It is not special TP like motor homes or boats, and in reality it needs to not break down easily to ensure the "product" plug can be sucked down the full length of the vacuum piping to the engine room.

Makes sense, I was just going by "experience" from our TP with the travel trailer. Plus, kinda thought the system would want it to break down. Have a great evening.

And many of my recent purchases now say "Do not flush".

On most ships, you wouldn't be able to read the sign when you are sitting on the throne, since it's posted on the wall above said thrown.  That is, unless you are sitting backwards.

Do you approach the commode with your eyes closed? Do you "back-in" from the door? Does your bung orifice make that beeping sound when in reverse? Enquiring minds want to know.

So i just read this toilet etiquette on a post!! Do not flush any wet wipes or baby wipes down the toilet. Put them in the garbage can. No sanitary products either. Put in a bag.ask for more bags.

nothing flushes except the thin TP tha Carnival has on board. Otherwise your cabin might get flooded!!!

lol

Just read this? Unknown before the reading?

Is that the lol part?

I never implied that the signs were not clearly visible.  I was simply to replying to hurricane0226, who said  "you would think that they would read, especially when sitting on the throne."

 

And yes occasionally my "bung orifice" does make that sound, but it has never been described as BEEPING!

This is pretty much the rule for public toilets anywhere. Waste and TP only

Isn't this the rule for your private, home, toilets, as well?  What else do you put down them?

Eh... in Mexico, the Carribean, and Central America - the rule for toilets basically everywhere is waste only, no TP.

Well, since you asked, dead mice/gophers (presents from my dog), tropical fish, last month's jambalaya or any other science experiment found in the back of the fridge.

Consider yourself extremely lucky that you managed to flush a gopher down the toilet without incurring a couple of hundred dollars worth of plumbing bills.  San Francisco sanitation workers must love your street.
