Halifax declares war on "flushable" wipes

Just move to Greece, where not even toilet paper is flushable.

Or Russia. This leads to cross cultural issues when people from countries where used TP is tossed in a bin come to countries where it is supposed to be flushed, even among highly educated people. Seen taped to the inside of the bathroom stalls in Peace Palace law library in The Hague:

Seems that visitors from out of country were throwing crap-soiled TP on the floor rather than flush it :open_mouth: This is the international law library, not the bathroom in a run down gas station. They don’t just let anybody and everybody in there.

Five and four exclamation marks. Someone is pissed. (and/or wears underpants on the head, if Pratchett was right)

Well, I think having to constantly clean shit smears and used TP off the floor in a law library bathroom would make me pound on the exclamation point key a few times, too.

In some ways, the people who drop shit-stained TP on the floor may doing the right thing in their mind by not doing what they think will clog the toilet. Or they may just be stuck up people who refuse to do anything differently no matter what and think " fuck the Peace Palace." Dunno.

You get a like for not linking to a google image search and thus denying advertisers a peak into the kinds of nonsense i do image searches on.

Well, the toilet went crazy
Yesterday afternoon
The plumber he says
"Never flush a tampoon!"
This great information
Cost me half a week’s pay
And the toilet blew up
Later on the next day-ee-ay

I too love the bidet, and will stand by you in solidarity as I loudly proclaim it to the world. Bum washers unite!

Cool! Be great for writing “LEARN TO PARK” on a car taking two spaces.

Considering they use lasers to do delicate cornea surgery, maybe using lasers instead of ■■■■■ wipes is not as crazy as it sounds. Tune it to absorb the right chemicals and zap! with no butt damage. I’d buy one of those. :scream:

Finally, an effective, high-tech way to clean away poo and remove unwanted hair at the same time!

(“It’s a shit-stain remover!” “No, it’s a depilatory!” “It’s both!”)

Available soon at the Boing Boing Store - at a substantial discount. (Well, it is a vaporizer, after all…)

Amen! Preach it! Our house here has bidets in two of the three bathrooms. It only took a couple of days for everyone to get used to them. (And I have one almost all to myself! RatWoman won’t use the German shelf toilet that someone installed in the master bath. No idea why they installed it-- the other two toilets are normal, and we’re 250 km from any Germans and their poop-inspecting behaviors-- but the landlord doesn’t particularly want to replace it. If she doesn’t come around, I’m going to have to replace it temporarily in the interest of marital harmony.)

They probably get a lot of war criminals, from whom you’d expect such behaviour.

Yep. I keep a bottle of alcohol-free witch hazel by the crapper for just that use.
