Those young men clearly haven’t gotten the memo that women’s clothes don’t have pockets, at least not functional pockets. Plus…gross and no. Who failed these people?

Even "flushable whipes" should not be flushed.

I went to a private Christian university Many Years Ago there was a stomach bug going around and a guy said he didn’t know weather to puke in the toilet and $4*+ on the wall or puke in the wall and $4*+ on the toilet. All the girls asked why not use the trash can and we seriously shocked we had trash cans in the bathroom.😂

I got to teach multiple Licensed Architects about why there were trash cans in women’s public restrooms!! One has even thought that the “Disp.” abbreviation on the drawings was for dispenser, not disposal.

You know, as a mom to a 16 year old son, I have a playlist titled "Be a better mom" for things just like this.... to hopefully prepare him for whatever adulthood has in store (that I didn't think about). This video is now on that playlist. KUDOS!

My mother (of 5 daughters) didn't want a bathroom trash can because they get smelly. For years I had to discretely walk pads wrapped in toilet paper from the bathroom to the kitchen trash can. I have my own house now and put a can in each bathroom to spare my daughter from that. I use little trash bags for them, and they don’t smell at all.

I had something like this happen to me when i first moved into a new home. I was 8 months pregnant and lived there for two weeks at most. The toilet backed up, they unclogged tampons, they tried to blame me. Like dude, i dont have a period.

It's both hilarious and horrifying how subjects like these aren't talked about. Great lesson 👏🏼

Its really not funny. They couldn't even get a 1.25 trash can for a huge plumbing and social issue.. they would buy condoms for them but not a bathroom trashcan 🙄 not even bare minimum hosting skills...

As a sewer service tech for 20 years I would like to add that getting young ladies to heed a proper sign and put their hygiene products in a readily available trash bin is hard enough without those things you are doomed

That right there is the funnest thing I have heard in some time. Hell I knew that way back in the 70's! My how times have changed!

This is the reason why boys should be present when menstruation gets taught to girls. Because unless you plan to be a priest in a monastery then they'll still encounter our little monthly problem. It shouldn't be taboo

Umm, we always had a trash can in the bathroom. Who doesn't? I guess now we know. smh. 😮

hair is another one .. my ex would brush her hair and clean the brush, and toss that down the toilet .. major backup I got to snake out and clean up after

For 3 years in high school I had a summer job working at an all girls high school. One day, after a huge rain storm, my friends and I arrive at work. Our boss, the head of maintenance, kept referring to "white mice". I was young and naive and thought he meant rodents. Long story short, the storm caused thousands of flushed tampons and sewage to back up and flood the basement of one of the campus buildings. It was an experience I will never forget.

And when they pee all over the seat, front of the toilet, and on the rug, THEY clean it up.

My aunt made sure we knew better. Didn't they have trash cans at home?

That's hilarious! We had to get our pipe scraped because it had wipes in it and tree roots.

At least you are on town plumbing. On a septic system, particularly one with a pump back set up this can be a huge expense.

So they just.. kept paying? And didn't realize the thing you told them was true and that their sign wasn't working?

Shes so cute.... men have been doing this forever If they left home then they arent kids

Had you billed them when it happened, the trash can talk would be unnecessary. It's amazing how smart pet get when they get hit in the billfold because of their own stupidity

Yes teach your boys to keep trash cans in the bathroom for the convenience of their female companions. Yes teach your girls to bring along an emergency bag so that they can bring their tampons out of the bathroom and throw it in the kitchen trash. Sanitary pads of course come with a convenient little plastic cover that you can roll them up into. We as humans in general need to do better, flushing a tampon is not an emergency solution, it's a bad choice. I understand that it would be embarassing to have to ask someone at the party for help on such a situation, which is why teaching them to be prepared is so important. In an absolute emergency situation, what you could do is squeeze out all the excess blood from the tampon into the toilet, then roll it in some toilet paper, wash your hands thoroughly, and then it should be dry enough to hold while you bring it to the kitchen trash. It's not pretty but you gotta do what you gotta do, better than having a plumber have to deal with it. The sign was hilarious and ridiculous though XD

Good advice and I agree that young men should learn the value of having a trash can in the bathroom. However, it ain't just the guys that have issues. I've worked for some big companies and I usually wound up talking to the folks (mostly female) that clean the bathrooms. The question of which bathrooms were worse always came up and the answer was always the same. The women's bathrooms would sometimes have feces or used toilet paper on the floor (or walls!) and it was just disgusting. And these bathrooms had nice, large trash receptables (though the debris should probably have been flushed down the toilets. Mens restrooms, no problem. These were large buildings with multiple bathrooms and supposedly professionals using them (no customers were using them). These weren't 18,19 and 20yr olds. These were adult women.

I unclogged numerous toilets (mostly in women's restrooms) in twenty years as a maintenance man. Even with special containers and trash cans MANY females don't use them.

OneFocuse focus on your audience

As a maintenance guy, I can not tell you how many woman's tampons I have pulled out of toilet drain lines and septic systems. How about teaching girls and women about properly disposing of feminine hygiene products. I have seen far more of these issues than whatever a man tosses down the drain.

Sorry but women need to learn a thing or to about what can and can not be flushed, when I worked at a home improvement store my main job was a janitor ( they said maintenance ) and I was always having to remove adult diapers ( for the lack of better terms) for the toilets in the lady's restroom.

Why are you in the men's bathrooms? Go use your own and don't worry about what goes on in the other one.

So its the mens fault women flush stuff that shouldnt be flushed? Sounds like you should be educating theae young women on what is and is not flushable.

Tampons that dont flush? You must mean sanitary napkins?

Or maybe women can take care of themselves and not treat men like servants. If you have have something that requires disposal, you should bring a bag along, that's common sense. I know I know, I'm a bigot for daring to suggest women be treated as adults. So offensive of me.

What the actual fuck!?! Put them in your pocket?!? 😳🫠 I would have never in my whole life ever considered asking a woman to do that, and certainly not my girlfriend, having a trash can in you bathroom is just good sense anyway but that’s absolutely beyond the pale! It makes me very sad to think anyone that careless and stupid could get a college degree, but I realize there are I a lot of certifications/credentials you can get in life if you pay enough money and try hard enough even if you’re not very smart.
