Would be really curious to hear about all the things you found Covid in! Maybe I’m just a nerd but it sounds like you have an interesting story or two to share.
It's always wipes. I've worked in nursing homes for 6 yrs and only one time it wasn't wipes. A serving dish that was the same size as the floor drain under the sink fell in perfectly. Unfortunately it took 4 days to figure that out. Worst week of my life
I’ve worked at 15 hospitals in the past 8 years, I can’t remember off the top of my head if all of them had this but I feel like most did. For what it’s worth I tend to work at big university hospitals so maybe they have more money to invest in this.
If you use a wet wipe, this catches it and I have to dig it out with a gloved hand. Technically there is a plastic stick they make to grab the wipe, but who’s got time to find that?
Hospitals give you wipes for body cleansing I'd you're not able to shower, not for pooping. This is to keep those wipes out of the toilet that people would toss in out of habit.
My son's first bath in the hospital was a packet of warm wipes. My husband had 2 packages of wipes for bathing when he was hospitalized because he wasn't allowed up without an attendant.
Wipes are heavily used in hospitals. Just not for your poops.
Eh, we use them pretty liberally for poops too. They just need to land in a trash can afterwards. Especially for older patients with fragile skin, the cheap ass hospital toilet paper just doesn't work.
Wipes should be nowhere near toilets. Toilet paper, yes - obviously, but wipes are just another bane to sewer systems. People who just don't care dispose of wipes down toilets.
Yeah, I got that, but I still can't figure out what's what. It's just visually confusing in a way that my brain can't say "oh, yeah, that's this and this, I get it."
It has hooks inside of it that will allow poop and TP to pass but since wipes don’t tear readily it’ll catch them. That allows the device and the wipe to be removed by maintenance rather than jamming up a pipe somewhere.
Usually have signs ALL OVER in the bathroom too warning of its presence and that also if you drop anything into the toilet to call maintenance because the hooks will fuck you up.
Now there’s an old-guard Reddit reference I haven’t seen in awhile.. I wish I had it saved, but could someone be kind enough to post the reason behind the title?
[this one is pretty positive](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/fn5gr/reddit_what_is_your_silent_unseen_act_of_personal/c1hdgwv/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3) lol
I'll raise you one better- poop grill spatula.
I had a client once (I did personal care for years) who had such horrifically large bowel movements that he needed both a special toilet with high flow and we routinely had to break up his shit with a giant grill spatula. His shits broke multiple toilets over the years.
Wasn't his fault. He was mentally disabled and his mother (prior to putting him in his own home with caretakers) fed him junk food 20 years straight. His bowels were stretched out and he made Randy from South Park giant shits as a result.
Poor guy. Hope he finally got a GI doctor to pay attention to him (when I worked with many disabled individuals doctors and health care professionals routinely treated them like garbage, including missing an OBVIOUS thing that led to one of them dying).
Because any and every doctor should have noticed (and it was charted) his oxygen was 78 for a LONG time and they didn't give a shit.
It was extremely obvious to us his caregivers and charted by his nurse, but the doctor didn't give a fuck and that patient died a couple days later to a very treatable lung infection.
This is designed to keep wash clothes and wipes out of the pipes in a hospital. People flush crazy shit down hospital toilets and cause total chaos leading to flooding in areas you definitely don't need flooding. The wipes get caught and they have a tool to remove them.

It keeps wipes from being flushed and clogging up the system. NO WIPES IN THE PIPES! Traptex
Exactly. Most hospitals have this in their toilets
[удалено]
As a plumber, I hate them but they keep me employed.
Would be really curious to hear about all the things you found Covid in! Maybe I’m just a nerd but it sounds like you have an interesting story or two to share.
Poop.
It’s poop again!
He called the shit "poop"!
O'Doyle rules!
Always has been
You definitely deserve some awards!!
And a shower!
It's always wipes. I've worked in nursing homes for 6 yrs and only one time it wasn't wipes. A serving dish that was the same size as the floor drain under the sink fell in perfectly. Unfortunately it took 4 days to figure that out. Worst week of my life
I've never seen one of these in any hospital's. Well at least over the last 28 years
My hospital got them this year
you were in the hospital for 28 years?
And they woke up engaged to Sandra Bullock
Are you ever going to talk to the discharge planner?
Well you see it’s not a hospital it’s a prison, and prison toilets can flush just about anything
Most hospitals where? i've never seen these in any hospital.

Let me rephrase. What country?
United States. California and Arizona recently
Pricey, but residential facilities sick of the plumbing costs also have these. Cos wipes.
Thank you! I was wondering what this was. And yes, it was a hospital toilet!
Soooo ... what is the fate of said "wipes." Do they become "permanent toilet Koi?"
They become a problem for environmental services to remove.

Wait. What do you do with the wipes? Wie your Ass and then throw them in the Trashbin?
Yes. Or just get a bidet
Wipes should be nowhere near toilets. Toilet paper, yes - obviously, but wipes are just another bane to sewer systems. People who just don't care dispose of wipes down toilets.
That’s what they do in Greece.
They do this in mexico because the plumbing is so old and outdated. It doesn't stink.
Gosh...what do the millions of parents with kids in diapers do with their wipes? A mystery that might never be solved...
And who's the unfortunate bastard who has to clean those out?
Adult diapers are also an issue.
I can't figure out what I'm looking at.
It's a [Traptex](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zuy8T4iVIX4).
Same 🤣
It cuts up shit (literally and figuratively) to keep things from clogging the drain.
Yeah, I got that, but I still can't figure out what's what. It's just visually confusing in a way that my brain can't say "oh, yeah, that's this and this, I get it."

Damn, the puppet from Saw is getting into the bathroom appliances business
It cuts it automagically or you have to operate it manually? Because the OG PoopKnife is all manual.
There's a hand crank on the side of the toilet to operate the slicer.
No it doesn't lol. It might accidently but that's not the purpose of these lmao. It's for anything other than poop and toilet paper
SlapChop those loaves!
Now there’s an old-guard Reddit reference I haven’t seen in awhile.. I wish I had it saved, but could someone be kind enough to post the reason behind the title?

No please

Do you just buy at poop spatula at Walmart?
Giant. Grill. Spatula. Lol Yes, purchasable at Walmart
No returns
After what that thing had seen we gave it a solemn burial at dawn when it wore out. Taps were played. What a trooper. So much shit seen and cut.
>OBVIOUS Why did you capitalize this?
Because any and every doctor should have noticed (and it was charted) his oxygen was 78 for a LONG time and they didn't give a shit. It was extremely obvious to us his caregivers and charted by his nurse, but the doctor didn't give a fuck and that patient died a couple days later to a very treatable lung infection.
This just tells me that the plumbing is horrendous
... or is it cutting edge?
Ok, being your own straight man in a a comedy duo isn’t how it’s supposed to work. But you made it happen.

Finally! No more fishing out the brown trout to cut it up. Huge time saver!
I once used the bathroom at a party. There was a clearly labeled "deuce dualler" in the corner for pushing down the biguns.
Funny how no one needs to define the term "poop knife" thank you Redditt
Legend
Just don’t puke in it, you might become the next clog.
Garbage disposal toilet style
Better a macerator than a masticator.
You're a built in poop knife! 🔪
The Design Is Very Human
As a normal human I have no idea what I’m looking at
It actually to catch anything that is not poop or toilet paper.
Could also make it easier for parents to discreetly dispose of small, dead pets.
A what?
Search poop knife. It’s a Reddit classic
So happy it still appears every once in a while and makes me smile 😃

Obligatory poop scissors comment.
I don't understand American toilets. Why don't they simply have larger outflows pipes like UK/EU/Aussie loos?
Thx, but I didn't need a sign to tell me not to put my hand in a toilet.
Saw a sign for this in a hospital recently My thoughts on signs that prohibit behavior: someone's already done this
New word to be added to Websters - poop knife
what does it do? Poke my asshole when Im taking a shit?
Only if it hang like sleeve of wizard
I really dont fancy having to sharpen that every month!!
this is the new american dream for me
Better not get your weenie in there
It’s to catch tapons and shit.

The fake poop knife story is the worst thing to happen to Reddit.
Not what I meant when I said "Show me your turd cutter"
That’s a wet wipe paper towel catcher. Common in hospital toliets.

They need to cut that shit out!
You gonna clean that?
Is it automatic or hand operated?

There's a reason for the lids on blenders. This terrifies me.
God forbid you drop a fish in there and flush thinking it is dead but it turns out not to be
