I hope he's wearing a cup...

This would be better suited for a 'you can't fix stupid' thread but here ya go ...

I can easily think of valid explanation for that - but yes - it does look silly.

Yeah, I immediately thought of a bunch, the simplest being that's not his car.

My thought was that he had flat tyre - knew there's an air-station near - limped there - removed flat tyre - in pic he's filling spare tyre before putting it into use.

Why is that funny? Or safety related? I mean, safety of the septic system maybe.

"Funny" may be strong (though I did chuckle when I first read it), but it is rather pitiful that the toilet, any toilet, would need to come with a warning to *not* flush "paper towels, cigarettes/cigars, any sanitary products, baby wipes, or any foreign objects..." But then, as I am reminded with increasing frequency, I had a different childhood than most. sigh.

Many wipes say “flushable” right on the package even though they are not.

As for the rest, spend some time as a janitor and you’ll soon learn that’s not nearly the worst of things people try to flush.

Wrong thread meant to put it in Signs of the Times. It struck me as funny because of the description of the septic system as “sensitive.”

I guess you all have never stayed in Cape May, NJ? They have this sign in every rental bathroom!

(Sensitive sounds better than antiquated!)

It was in the Berkshires which I suspect suffers from similarly antiquated septic systems. We just kept joking about being careful not to hurt its feelings.

“Sensitive” means expensive to repair. It seems sensitive because how could a couple of one penny wipes cause a $40,000 system to fail?

^ Now that's weird.

Hey, my own (personal) septic system is very sensitive. I've tried not to eat any cigars or baby wipes. It helps.
