To be a scruncher

[cheesenpickles]

So, DH came home this week with a tale about how a colleague of his had to call out a plumber for a massive blockage. Allegedly, the plumber said it was because someone (in this case, colleagues wife) had scrunched loo roll and it had caused the blockage.

Dh then said we must always fold rather than scrunch our loo roll. I then said I am a scruncher and he gave me a look as if I were drowning kittens. Then he started asking me my average sheet usage at which point I decided that the conversation was heading south and told him to not be so daft.

Surely scrunching doesn't block drains? I would say I'm less scruncher tbh and more epically lazy folder.

Thoughts?

Eliza9917. I think I get you. I'd call that sticking your arse out instead of tilting hips.

I have a feeling no matter what I’d said, someone would have questioned it 🤣

I bet the poo troll is having a field day with this thread

🤣😂 let him crack on...

Grim
Bastard.

LeatherFace. Thanks IncrediblySad I’m going to give it a go. I make every effort to be eco in my life, and the volume of TP I use is holding me back

Ummm. Errr. Best wishes?!
🤣

I grudge rollers the amount of paper they use, it seems to be double what a folder (like myself) needs

You can begrudge me all you like, but it doesn’t make ANY sense to me. I want a certain amount of paper between my hand and poo, whether I roll it around my hand or fold it, makes absolutely no difference to the quantity I’d use 🤷🏻‍♀️

I use a wet wipe after a poo to make sure my bum's clean. The wipes are specifically designed for toilets, ie they disintegrate quickly

No, they don’t ‘disintegrate quickly’. They really, really don’t. They may disintegrate MORE quickly, but disintegrating in 100 years instead of 200 years (or whatever) does NOT mean flushing them is ok. It’s really really not.

I just came here to say the same. Please don't put the moist toilet tissue down the toilet.
