I just checked into my hotel in Sau Paulo and I notice a sign on the back of the toilet stating “We kindly ask you not to discard toilet paper or other items in the toilet”. So I look it up on-line to make sure I’m not misinterpreting and sure as sh!t it is correct. There’s a small garbage can next to the john for disposal.

Note: for the record it’s a Marriott, not some random fleabag joint.

A lot of places ask you to put it in a trash bag. Water is a commodity.

I worked with some Mexican guys who had just arrived in the U.S. and they would throw the toilet paper in the garbage can. They had to be advised to flush it down. I think American plumbing must be the gold standard.

I could see that as in "don't flush unless it's a deuce", but I assume if you've taken a dump you're flushing the waste down the toilet anyway, right?

poop water splashback probably can infect your butt.... i'd shit in the can too

Yeah but it is something about their systems that don't handle paper well. Someone else may be able to explain it better.

Flush the TP. Don't be disgusting.

Great idea. Then Zippy will have shit all over his floor after his toilet gets clogged and overflows.

Just looked it up and it is because of their sewage system.

This was how Costas got the pink eye in Sochi. No water treatment plants in the 3rd World (including Sochi) to handle TP.

I assume there is a bidet in the room?

There is. I guess I’d better learn how to use it.

Well fuck that is the game changer right there...let the bidet do 99% of the work. In reality you probably don't even need the toiler paper. I mean, it's not like people are throwing huge turd logs in the trash can. (I hope).

I'm guessing none of you guys have worked with mexicans before.

And I'm looking into bidet options for my 1st floor bathroom myself.

A contractor broached the topic when he was discussing our bathroom. Wasn’t a local guy. I partially regret not getting one. Claimed they were becoming popular.

Does this cut down on the amount of shit water ending up in the bay?
