    Tbf, they’re incorrect that flooding poop helps plumbing do anything. This is obvious propaganda from Big Clog.

      Recent immigrants from countries with bad plumbing sometimes continue to throw out toilet paper. The pipes in some countries can’t handle it

        I suspect that’s why my wife pats after using the bidet and throws it in the trash can. No, there’s no smell or poop or anything gross in the slightest, but it’s a bit odd.

    To be fair I’ve blundered across some toilet atrocities over the years that would’ve made me wish they’d just used the trash can instead.

    Right, got it, so I pee in the bins? I mean I must do, or else what are they there for?

      I love that this is clearly ChatGPT, too.

      Can you imagine writing that prompt? On a work computer?

        Sometimes class elitism is called cultural differences.

        Often times people (or towns, or cities) who use bins for toilet paper is because their plumbing can’t handle the toilet paper being thrown into it, and upgrading it is just prohibitively expensive.

        And then they get called gross, or weird, or outdated culture, when it really is just “I didn’t choose where I was born.”

      Except if it was just generated by a sloperator for a dumb joke, which is almost certainly the case here :/

    I’ve heard of places where they have you put the used tp in a trash can because the plumbing can’t handle it.

    But aside from that, and from tossing a dirty diaper in the trash can, I can’t imagine how else you might wind up putting the poop anywhere other than the toilet.

    Just because you found this in a workplace toilet doesn’t mean the workplace put it there.

    Great way to troll your fellow workers. Especially if you make the inverse of this sign and replace only some of the copies.

    Maybe it is because I am not a native english speaker, but why is the feces/poop/shit called “number 2 waste”? Never heard of that expression.

      “Number 2 waste” is an unusual phrase to native speakers (or at least THIS native speaker), but this poster is made with AI.

      “Number 2” by itself is commonly understood to mean “poop.” Children will usually say “I have to take a number 2” instead of “having to take a poop” because it’s considered more polite. Number one is pee, by the way.

      As for the origin of this phrase, I have no idea. It’s very very common, at least in the USA.

      So many wrong answers to your question. It’s simple - number “two” rhymes with “poo”, leaving number one to be pee.

        That sounds like it doesn’t make any sense… why is pee not called number three, then? Maybe you thought of that explanation yourself when you were little?

      From internet: “In schools (especially from the 1960s onward, though likely earlier), kids held up one finger to ask to pee and two fingers to ask to go “number 2”.”

      The expressions have stuck around ever since.

        In the Netherlands the “elegant” cryptic way of referring to it is “de grote boodschap” [the big/great message], ie “I need to deliver the great message to the toilet”.
