Just noticed...

[Leffy]

ok so i was just chilling, all bored, and happened to notice the writing on the disposable diaper package. and then i just got stunned. barely two inch big box states this:

IMPORTANT!Before disposing of dirty diapers, empty into toilet. Then wrap in the waterproof backing before discarding in waste receptacle.

now... this is the first i've EVER heard/seen/been told that this is the manner with which you dispose of these things. its just too much dirty work.

so onto the purpose of my mentioning this, has anyone else seen any weird ass tags/signs/instructions that completely defy all you've known of these items in question?

[kitty!]

Certain brands of tampons tell me to wrap them and the [cardboard, not plastic I do the following instructions for plastic] applicator in toilet tissue and toss them in the trash.

I get how they mess up septic tanks, but all the places I go to use good ol' fashioned PLUMBING so I'm not really sure if I should follow the instructions for city plumbing.

It's all quite bizzare to me, since cotton and cardboard are as biodegradable as flushable wet wipes.

So are paper towels...which are known to clog pipes pretty badly.

[Ecchi_Kitty]

Everything is biodegradible, given a long enough span. As I understand, problem with tampons tend to be the string, which can get caught on the joints between pipes. This makes a fluffy block on which other thigns can get caught, eventually plugging up the pipe.

[UberFische]

heh heh heh, they cause problems by doing their job

[Ruestir]

Biodegradable is not the problem, but like UberFische pointed out, it's because they do their "job" that makes them a problem anywhere. Meaning, they absorb. And what happens when cotton things absorb moisture? They EXPAND and get bigger and CLOG things because now they take up more volume and have a higher likelyhood of getting hung up on something and blocking pipes.

I lived in a small apartment building with a few women as neighbors when I was a senior in college. Within the first week that they moved in the plumber had come out twice to unclog the sceptic lines. I heard the apartment manager explaining to them if the plumbers had to be called any more because they wouldn't quit flushing their stuff down the toilet, they'd be getting all the bills directly. That seemed to get the message accross to them.

Actually there is only a couple of brands that offer Cotton based tampons... Most are rayon based. Rayon is synthetic and does not degrade in a timely manner. But I am very familiar with what tampons do in city plumbling.... as I have to roto-root my main sewage line every year because of roots (and yes I do the work and haul the 180lb auger down and up out of the basement to do this).... so I usually tend to pull a few "white mice" out as well:puke:

[Leffy]

could be worse. i've heard of girls that flush pads. tampons... ok fine i can see how you can get the idea thats ok... but pads? the minidiapers of feminine hygeine? crazy peoples.

i've now begun a determined search for crazy tags. mosquito reppellant loyion has one too, says DO NOT RUB INTO SKIN!

um.... yeah... i'm askeered to get squito bites on my tshirt, not my arm.

[UberFische]

some of the "lasers" we use in the army for targeting and range-finding purposes warns not to aim it at people... yeah...

[Sehson]

the Kleenex pocket paks have a good one...

***Warning it is a violation of federal Law to use this product in a manner other than indicated.

You forgot blind and hairy-palmed ;)

[Leffy]

hrm. does it honestly give directions for use on Kleenex? lol

[Sehson]

On the pocket pak Me and wife read that on it gave about 5 recommended uses. I don't remember what they were but they were you basic mundane stuff.

[Leffy]

ah. recommended uses. not the same as directions so... if theres no true directions... then all applicable uses are therefore illegal.

[Plunder Down-Under]

The hairy palmed myth, I dont get that one, weaing tight pants stops leg hair grown why would hairy hands be a problem?

[Leffy]

certain... hair's fall away with little or no effort.... so when you touch them they stick to your hands....

[Crazeyal]

or get stuck in yer teeth...

:al:

[Leffy]

in the teeth's not so bad, its when they get stuck right in front of your tonsil, too far foreward to swallow too far back to spit or pull out thats the reall annoyance.

[Sehson]

yep... cause then your hacking up furballs like a cat... which of course does nothing to further the mood:d/:

[Leffy]

it breaks the ice?

[Crazeyal]

Sweetie.. If there's any ice left at THAT point yer either doing it wrong, living in Antartica or REEEEEEEEEEAL KINKY!!!

[Leffy]

... yeah i realized how that sounded. i meant like later when you're like visiting with others lol. you never get pre-party booty?

[Sehson]

Yea thats along the lines of walking up to a complete stranger and asking..."So which hand do you masturbate with???"

[UberFische]

you never get pre-party booty?

I don't know why, but that just reminded me of something that happened when I was a in the army. My roommate had a date with his internet girlfriend at the time. He was gone when she showed up, she didn't know his name only screenname (his being Teufel Fische, mine being Uber Fische) and for anyone who hasn't seen two military guys right out of basic/boot, we're looked so alike it was scary. She asks for "Fische" I'm confused but go along with it. Long story short, he comes in to an awkward scene, almost loses his mind, and all she says is "Wait a minute... you're not my date?"

[Leffy]

ohhh that would suck.

[UberFische]

Yeah, though he did keep dating her for a good year and a half, every time he complained about her, I'd be like "I'll take her back, she was wild" or if he was trying to bust on me I'd be like "Just cause I got to your girl before you did..."

[Leffy]

.... i woulda killed any of my girls lol. its one thing to make the faux pas but it takes alot of love to rag about it
