  • Two tiers of countries

    Tier 1: Countries where you can flush toilet paper.
    Tier 2: Countries where you can not flush toilet paper.

      Greece. And Afghanistan, because you wipe you butt with a flat stone there.

          Some people from Mexico, will throw used TP in the garbage instead of flush it.

          ACK!
          Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust!

              In a lot of Muslim countries a water hose is used instead of toilet paper, so your dichotomy is flawed.

                In Egypt, toilet paper is offered at the hotel but there are explicit instructions telling you not to flush.

                So there is a 3rd tier then: Where toilet paper isn't used.

                Bidets are nice but I refuse to use it as my only means of cleaning after taking a crap. Even the nice toilet integrated with drying action that I had at Hotel Niko in SF left me wanting.

                  What do you do with the toilet paper if you can't flush it?

                    You can't flush in Peru. The plumbing won't take it. Every bathroom has a lidded trash can right next to the toilet, and honestly it doesn't smell any worse than any equivalent bathroom (i.e., public restrooms in Peru smell as bad as public restrooms at similar facilities in NYC, due to people peeing on the seat/floor, etc.).

                      Is this where the term "****hole" comes from? Or is that referring to countries that use squat ****ters?

                        Do people fold the used scrap so the stained side is inside before they throw it into the bin?

                          I believe it was first coined to describe Philly.

                            That would make sense. Philadelphia is probably some Native American word that means "no one wants to ****ing live here."

                              they say not to flush here because of the bad plumming, but really you can get away with it. i always put it down the toilet and have never had a problem.

                              i remember when i was living in swansea and had to explain to an iranian housemate that we don't put used toilet papar in a bin, but down the toilet, he was very surprised.
