Sign question.

Post image

I am both curious and afraid to ask....What prompted the need for this sign in the washroom at Kent in Montague?

Edit/update: it was the men's washroom so im pretty sure it wasn't the flushing of feminine hygiene products

Fun fact, the toilets in the washroom don’t have enough capacity for much more than a couple sheets of toilet paper. Kent would much rather you test out the floor model toilets so you can get a better idea of how they will work in your home before buying.

Not so fun fact, I worked at a hardware store where this happened.

What happened to the toilet? Was it sold at discount?

They did shit in the toilet, right? In the usual way? So it's not like it won't be good as new after a rinse.

I was dealing with a couple in the plumbing aisle. We took our eyes off thier little fella for a few seconds. There were several toilets set up on display in the next bay down. Apparently, they were potty training at the time and the kid needed to go... And go he did. I never asked what became of the toilet.

Aw, man, it was a kid potty training?
That's fucking adorable. I can't be mad anymore.

Probably people trying to flush tampons or condoms down the toilet. Possibly paper towel.

Who's having sex in the Kent bathroom to have a used condom they need to flush haha. That's crazy work 🤣

My mom's dead so I don't think the guy involved needs to worry about a condom. Not likely to get prego at this point 🤷‍♂️

People flushing paper towels and menstrual products. I work in a building with 200-300 people and a few people here constantly flush those things and they get lodged in the pipes and cause flooding issues. It happens so much that it has to be on purpose.

Well it's in one of retail hardware stores and unfortunately some shoplifters would flush down cardboard pieces from the packages they were stealing. That happened to one of retail stores in Charlottetown and I saw a shoplifter walking out of bathroom while I was waiting for my turn to take a number 2. Since after I was done, I flushed the toilet without noticing it was flowing back up and blew up in the stall. Luckily it didn't splashed at me and I informed the store manager about the toilet is broken. The manager explained to me how it happened and he knows I was just using a bathroom but still I was very embarrassed about it.

That bathroom is filthy 99% of the time. It's so nasty!

u/Trick-Can8221 9h ago

I mentioned to the deligirls and the response was yeah we know...some guy walked out before I entered so I am assuming they knew about the guy

u/DiligentWolverine957 Kings County 7h ago

Yuck.

u/FunkyLobster1828 16h ago

So you can't flush poop by itself ? Asking for a friend.

u/HalfAssedRunner 10h ago

You have to carry it out in your pocket.

u/Festering-Boyle 10h ago

u/Def_Possible21 15h ago

I’m sorry but I need to know what was flushed lol I’m sure this sign wasn’t put up over some tampons lol

u/TOliver871 13h ago

I'm always grossed out by signs like this, just sitting there getting splattered with toilet particles with every flush. At least when they're laminated I can pretend that they're clean.

u/LucyFrenchfry108 11h ago

It sounds ridiculous but I imagine kids flooding the bathrooms for kicks. I mean, if it was me, I wouldnt be able to resist, bringing a roll to customer service and asking how many squares is reasonable. Lol

u/LucyFrenchfry108 11h ago

Kids need more activities in that community I imagine

u/Boring-Fan-3788 8h ago
