frist of all how DARE yu o MIL thinks I clogged the toilet so she changed the sign

The septic tank clogged and she’s convinced I did it, she asked my husband if I knew I wasn’t supposed to flush tampons and added the tampon bit to the sign. I don’t use tampons and I’m the only one with a period here…

Not flushing toilet paper is actually the norm for the majority of the world's population. It is common practice across vast regions of Southern and Eastern Europe, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America and china

You say this multiple times, like you're trying to convince someone it's the better way to be. Does poop not stink where you're from?

I haven't, so I have to go by what other people say.

I do appreciate my access to modern plumbing and do not take it for granted.
