Flushing your used toilet paper isn't universal. It's still the norm in some places to bin it.

In the US. I used to work with a guy who’s ENTIRE FAMILY threw away used tp instead of flushing it. He didn’t know it was weird until our manager had to have a team meeting to figure out who was leaving shit stained tp in the trash can.

There used to be a Thai restaurant around here where they had a sign telling you to do the opposite. That place is no longer in business lol.

Some surprisingly developed countries still used tp waste baskets I guess if it's normal nobody complains about it and changes are not made.

Recently took a trip to Delicias, Mexico. You can’t flush toilet paper it will clog their plumbing and spew sewage.

My own parents' house. The plumbing to the septic tank is crooked and will clog if TP is abused, so we toss it instead. My dad considers the $20K to get the work done to fix it not worth the effort and I agree.

Worked at a famous Thai restaurant in NYC. Much of the kitchen staff would throw used TP in the bin instead of flushing

In Canada, most of the time you’re not supposed to flush toilet paper. Also was the same when I went to South Korea.
But in Japan, for example, you’re supposed to flush it.
Don’t understand why some plumbing systems still can’t handle toilet paper.

No, in Canada, you flush toilet PAPER ... not 'dude wipes'...

I don’t know I’ve seen signs where it said don’t flush toilet paper, and have had my friends tell me they had plumbing issues and the plumber told them not to flush toilet paper.
I still do, and I’m sure most do as well. I just thought it was a no-no here.

I have seen this in public restrooms and never understood it.
Not the sign. I have seen shitty TP in the trash can.

People come from different countries with less than decent plumbing

Probably tourists from countries who's plumbing can't handle toilet paper (which is surprisingly common)
