Actually I bought a huge pack two years ago when I moved in this apartment and it lasted me until last week.

But, in the end, I got my gf to give me a roll from her house, so problem solved.


WTF!?!? How big was that pack you bought TWO YEARS AGO? Seriously, if you can make a pack of tp last for 2 year then i'm sure you can get by for 2 more weeks on the couple squares you had left.

How cheap are you that you've gotta ask your gf to give you a roll? If you don't use the whole thing before leaving, are you going to offer her the remainder back?

...and kitchen towels is something completely different and should never be flushed down a toilet.


really? I've been flushing kitchen towels for close to 2 years, as well as food waste (why waste time with nasty rotting bags of leftovers?) and I haven't had any trouble. If the toilet can handle me dropping a low fibre high protein duece, then it should be able to handle a wad of paper.

The difference is that toilet paper is made to dissolve when it comes in contact with water, kitchen towels are made to not dissolve when it comes in contact with water. If your house has good pipes and/or you're lucky, you might away with flushing your T-shirt down the toilet, but that doesn't mean you should. Anyone who knows he lives in a house with problems should not under any circumstances flush kitchen towel. For more modern houses I guess the risk is not that large, but it might still be good to know that it will increase the chances of a stuck drain.
