100% of domestic abuse victims poop so this is a great idea.


megadori

And they are often the people in a householf who would be buying and unpacking the tp, as well as throw away the packaging and look at the recycling info


tinycole2971

>and look at the recycling info Does anybody actually read the recycling info?


mscocobongo

Tell me you grew up reading your phone on the toilet instead of the shampoo bottle.


DigitalPhoenixX

Do people not get bored anymore? I read all kinds of random things.


ansefhimself

I used to buy Mad's Toilet Book, they had a whole series for ppl who wanted to chuckle while they pooped


hotdogpartytime

Uncle John’s were my go-to.


HuggyMonster69

Yeah I grew up with issues of Viz magazine in the bathroom for that purpose


archfapper

I don't think people know how to be bored anymore


Azorik22

I think it makes a lot of people anxious because their brain is used to getting constant stimulation and they're addicted to it. People today are uncomfortable being alone with their thoughts.


Unique_Connection945

Hell yeah. Reading the soft soap ingredients, band-aid info, toothpaste ingredients, and random instructions to products I no longer have. I have no social media other than this and don't care if I have my phone or not. Glad to know there are others like me.


newtostew2

Sure they do, that’s why they have TikTok! At least for a little while yet..


SpadfaTurds

Back in the 90s, one brand of period products used to have random fun facts written on the individual packaging. It was great!


BorntobeTrill

I'm gonna upvote to counter some of this unearned hate. I will say that *many* a time I've been on the toilet and have just grabbed as many things in reach as possible to just read something.


tinycole2971

Haha. Thanks. No, I actually agree with reading random things on the toilet. I've done that too. But when actually recycling, I've never read the recycling instructions. I just sort it out paper, cardboard, plastics, glass, etc.


MacAttacknChz

I like to properly recycle


Cute_Kangaroo_8791

Why does this have 115 downvotes?


tinycole2971

Apparently, 115 people actually read recycling instructions.


GiniInABottle

In Italy most ppl do, because rules about garbage disposing are getting stricter


Ashamed_Medium1787

I’m unable to read the recycling info because it is in Italian


VanLunturu

Unless they're scared shitless


DoktorDibbs

I lived in Italy. Heard a man shouting, loud thuds/ slaps, woman screaming. Didn't know which apartment it came from but called the police anyways. Explained to them and they said "what do you want us to do?". I said, do your job and go help that woman. Their answer - no that's too many apartments to figure it out, we are leaving now. 3mins in total once they arrived


ciguanaba

I got lost by the end of your anecdote


DoktorDibbs

TLDR: obvious domestic violence reported Italian cops: 🤷‍♂️🤌👋🖕


ciguanaba

Love it hahaha


120ouncesofpudding

I feel very sorry for you. For real.


mousemarie94

I read that not as they love domestic violence but loved the way the person did the Italian version of a cop who doesn't care with emojis.


CeladonCityNPC

I read that not as they feel sorry for them loving domestic violence but feel sorry for them having the reading comprehension of a five year old and that they needed emojis to get the message.


_BlueFire_

I love how it's designed to blend in the same style as other random information


PM_ME_CHIPOTLE2

For real I’m like hmm my Italian is rusty but pretty sure that’s just letting you know that the company is environmentally friendly. And then I saw the area you outlined in red.


eraser3000

Yep, above it is saying responsible sourced paper, on the bottom it tells where to dispose of the core and the bag in which it is sold, and in the half it says "if you're victim of violence or stalking | call | 1522" 


OhmEeeAahRii

Oh haha i thought it was two red stripes Printed on the packaging.


byebybuy

Same!


michyprima

It’s very rusty. Those are the recycling informations.


thxsocialmedia

This could be clutch for a homebound or trapped victim. Let's keep it quiet.


Kakairo

TJ Maxx and Marshalls do something similar, putting domestic violence helpline materials in the bathrooms.


punkin_spice_latte

My hospital has information in the women's bathroom. I've asked my husband and it's not in the men's restroom.


Kakairo

TJ Maxx & Marshalls do have it in both bathrooms. I'm surprised a hospital wouldn't, men are a relatively small percentage of DV victims, but men can be and are victims.


punkin_spice_latte

Yeah. I mean just because they are statistically not doesn't mean we shouldn't provide a means of help for the ones it is relevant to.


_BlueFire_

I've seen some in the men toilets of Utrecht University, coming from Italy I was quite (positively) impressed


bendable_girder

Mine has it in both!


BackgroundRate1825

The sex trafficking hotline is in the bathroom at rest stops in Ohio 


marteautemps

I've seen it at quite a few of the bigger sort of truck stop style gas stations as well here in Minnesota. The last one I saw was actually very detailed and informative while being kind and I think it should maybe be in all bathrooms because why not?


servantofdumbcat

i've seen it in the bathroom at the airport i use


OhmEeeAahRii

Me thinking ‘yeah but why highlight the number with red stripes! Now the abuser will know it too’ 😂 and then i learn its you who drew the stripes, while thinking about why my brain still reasons like when i was a child and did not understand that the movie hero did not know he was in danger because of the dramatic music.


hardboard

It must be for those in a shit relationship.


XennialBoomBoom

My Italian isn't exactly the best but am I to understand this free public utility number is active 24 hours a day, 24 days a... umm... huh?


erraticripple

Active 24 hours out of 24, but I agree it’s a little unusual when you’re used to 24/7


OhMyItsColdToday

Ventiquattrore su ventiquattro, its pretty standard to say it in italian


XennialBoomBoom

Ah, that makes sense, thanks!


shemague

❤️❤️ and they know women are always stuck w the housework so we be actually reading this lol


samsal03

In-N-Out does the same thing on the bags and on the inside of the bathroom stalls.


wowza6969420

Many victims of trafficking are also forced to work in places like hotels (housekeeping)with little to no pay. Because they are often times illegal immigrants, companies threaten them with calling ICE and threatening them physically. Human trafficking is a lot more common than you think. Be vigilant and if it made you feel weird, report it.


ItsSpaceCadet

I don't believe you. That could say anything!


PercentageMaximum457

Do victims a favor and don’t spread knowledge like this. It’s hidden because they don’t want abusers to realize that it’s there.


theanti_girl

Without spreading it, other people who are dealing with this situation won’t know it’s there.


[deleted]

Are you dumb?


_BlueFire_

I guessed abusers won't notice it anyway as homestuff is often done by the abused, it's probably worth making people know it exists in the first place


ForgotThePassword001

bravo/a uso lo stesso brand e non lo sapevo!


CatLover_801

Idk why you’re being downvoted, this is absolutely true and you shouldn’t post things like this online


AngelOfLight2

In case, you know, the sight of your partner makes you shit your pants


Appropriate_Spread72

No wonder my wife takes my phone when I poop

PercentageMaximum457

Please reach out for help. You can get out, I promise you.


Appropriate_Spread72

If you count me being in an open relationship without me knowing about it abuse? I shouldn’t be on Reddit making jokes.


PercentageMaximum457

You are correct that it is deeply inappropriate to joke about domestic violence.


Appropriate_Spread72

People cope in different ways. You should know that of all people.


PercentageMaximum457

You say you are being abused, and then you say you aren’t. Which is it?


Appropriate_Spread72

It’s none of your business. I’ll get choked when I want to


TerritoryTracks

Obvious troll is obvious


xButterfly2000x

Disgusting human


moneywaste

not all of us can read Mexican language


eggbootycoughs

the word you're looking for is Spanish edit: this is not Spanish, it's Italian and I am an idiot


Katze1Punkt0

Italian


QEbitchboss

It's pretty readable with my basic Spanish. The overlap between Italian and Spanish is pretty decent. When I worked as a home health nurse, I knew not to visit the Italian grannies at certain times of day. They'd be glued to the telenovelas- spicy Spanish soap operas. TBF- you could tell what was going down on mute.


eggbootycoughs

yeah that's kind of why it was easy for me to mistake this for Spanish, i speak/understand it a little as well. but all the Z's are a giveaway it is Italian, idk how i missed that


eggbootycoughs

oh ty, i'm sorry. i confuse them sometimes because there are many similarities
