You didn't actually say why you are doing your dishes in the bathroom. I presume you a kitchen sink you can pour liquids down? And take the teabags out first? Can't even imagine pouring food and drink down the toilet.

Um, i don't have tea bags, just the leaves.. which get stuck in the drain if poured down.. and they stick to the mug and a royal pain in the ***** to remove unless washed out by water. Hence pouring them down the toilet.
I always tell my customers "Don't flush anything down the toilet unless you have eatin' it first with the exception of toilet paper" This will save $$$ in the long run..
I don't know if it's true but I've heard that toilet paper shouldn't be flushed.
To the OP: I can't remember anything besides the normal being flushed. I do remember at summer camp, we had outhouses. Some camper tossed a full sized broom down the hole.
I used to flush old medicines when I had city plumbing. I know bad idea. I read an article about how water is testing positive for all sorts of drugs. Opps. It is becoming a serious problem in some cities.
YOU know that this is a bad thing, but believe or not a big health care companies do exactly that with all the unused meds - flush them down the drain...
What a strange (but interesting) thread. I never would have thought of disposing of anything like what's been posted in the toilet.
Just to add to the interest...I had a large paver patio installed a few years ago. Unfortunately, the 6"-high PVC access for the sewer clean-out trap was right in the middle of the patio and not a pleasant sight. I've seen fake rocks that can be placed over items like this but I didnt want a large rock on my patio. So I bought a polyresin planter and cut out the bottom to fit over the access.
Would you suspect that this planter is hiding the 6"-high PVC access for the sewer clean-out trap?

You might be thinking about tissue paper, like you use to blow your nose. You should not flush that because it does not dissolve in the water like toilet paper and it may eventually create a clog.
I try to be careful about what I put down the drain, especially when it comes to food and grease. A good way to dispose of smelly food is to put it into old packaging, like cereal bags or potato chip bags, and close it up with twist ties or something. That keeps the garbage from getting too smelly.
