Have you ever used your toilet as a....

I ususally don't use the toilet as a garbage disposal, but have been known to dump like not eating corn down it, lol... I figured well we'd puked that stuff up before it shouldn't cause any more issue that puke, Now, when my son was about 3 and half he wanted to have a wet car race, so he put two of his match box cars in the toilet and flushed it to see how face they would go and which would win, needless to say the both went down but it clogged it up, and water come rushing out at him. Wasn't a pretty site, He learned though.

Yes almost daily. Only for liquid food waste like soups as we have a collection for organic waste on alternate days here. I think I have never kept goldfish - is that how they should be disposed of? I have had cats and dogs but they allhad a proper burial in the local pet's cemetary here. Something weird? Well that's very personal and I've never looked or seen others anyway to know whether mine is weird or not

I used to when I was living in Bangkok as long as they are flushable. I lived in an apartment and although there was a bin on every floor but I didn't want to chuck leftover or spoiled foods in them as I was concerned about the smell. Needless to say, they empty the bins twice a day. Anyway, I still didn't want to throw food waste in there. By the way, you reminded me of the my 3 precious goldfish that I flushed down the toilet. There was no place for me to bury them so I had no choice. But my heart was torn and I couldn't bear to push the lever. It was very awful I got tears in my eyes.

No I don't use my toilet to throw away items such as the ones you have described. I think you need to be careful about what you flush down the toilet as you might accidentally cause a blockage in the pipes which take normal waste from your toilet into the sewage. I have thrown spiders down the toilet in the past, but nothing bigger than that

Oh God - this has just reminded me about the worst thing I ever found down my loo. I thought it was a kids' toy. It wasn't. It was a live mouse!

Odd discussion

Interesting question. We can not flush a whole lot of things down our toilet because they get stuffed easily. I do throw hair in there some times though. But that is probably the only things besides bodily waste and toilet paper. I personally have never flushed a gold fish down the toilet, but my parents did when I was a kid. I have flushed an elder bug, but he just crawled right back out, it was so disgusting. I hate those things.

hello thezone i have flushed the goldfish before as well as food items down the bathroom toilet. lol i hate it when that one of us has to flush the goldfish like that. lol you know? but i about flipped totally out one day when my mother-in-law came to visit. she stayed that evening for dinner and then she was helping me clean up the dishes after we had all finished eating, well i noticed that she scraped all of the leftover food that was on everybody's plate into one plate. i thought ok, then i guess that she will take that and put it into the trash can right?, wrong, she took the plate that she had all of that food on and proceeded out of the kitchen with it and she got in the hallway and i stopped her and asked her where that she was going? lol duh, she said sweetie i am going into the bathroom and i am going to flush this leftover food in the toilet! oh my gosh! what did you just say? your gonna flush what down my toilet? don't think so. lol but, you know how that went and the next thing that i knew the food was in the toilet and she pulled the handle down to flush it and guess what? to my amazement, the food flushed right down the toilet, not stopping the toilet up either. lol take care and have a beautiful afternoon.

Yeah, I flushed chicken bones, fish bones, noodle soup down the toilet because I didn't want to throw it in the bin because they'd stink in a couple of hours. If the toilet can get rid of crap, then it can surely get rid of small pieces of food :) Thanks for the response on my discussion!

In the past yes, but now I'm more environmentally concious. I want to reduce the damage to the ecosysstems as much as possible.

hi, well sort of using it everyday in that fashion. but, have changed them into organic ones first then disposing it through...:)

What, really? I've never heard of using your toilet as a food disposal, ew, that's gross. And I would never flush any pet down there. I don't think I've flushed anything down other than what it's made for.

I flushed some cat sick down the toilet today, but wouldn't flush food or goldfish down there.

WHO IS KIDDING WHO? I have flushed everything from motor oil (at a bosses request) to pets and chicken bones, cardboard for the center of my toilet paper, even spoiled food when i did not have a disposer. Voided checks, junk mail, cassette and reel to to reel tape, plastic parts, batteries, medications. syringes, catheters, and even adult drapers. even broken toilet parts, glass and other broken items. The hardest to get rid of was the motor oil it got all inside the rim and would oose down in streaks. i sure some if not all of the above is illegal to flush. There are add not to flush your medications now. When is my building manager going to clear the garbage shoot? I think my step son flushed a hamster and right guard. I know of one child that tried to flush kittens with toilet soap. My x-wife even flushed our wedding rings on purpose

Well not recently. But when I was a kid and I didn't like the food I had for dinner I would hide it ina napkin preend I had to go to the bathroom then just dump it in the toilet and flush.

How can there be any law against flushing things down the toilet? When you can flush sh*t, which is the worst type of garbage, what can be worse? I have never tried it though. I think it should be possible to flush things out by this route. If it doesn't go by a single flushing, one could pour a bucket of water down the toilet to ensure that it goes out.

well i dont use my toilets for waste disposals as this things could be directly throw n out in dust bin why the need of toilet, well toilet should be used for its own natural purposes only not as a garbage bin.

I never tried to flush any food waste through toilet.

I have used my toliet to flush down old pasta sauce or soup. I think its an easy way to get rid of waste. Just dont flush something down that is to big or you may have an overflowing toliet.

haha, i once tried to flush a pack of monster munch, didnt work too well obv, it just floated , haha i picked them out and sold em to my brother for 50p!!!! dried em obv!
