One of the guys said his habit was to use the towels to clean the vanity and then flush the towels.

A big no no.

It's surprising how many folks out there think that a toilet is a magic garbage disposal. I had a girlfriend in college that visited her aunt and uncle in Cali one summer. She got a job at the local sewage treatment plant (I think she was a Chemistry major at the time, although that changed). She said that they showed her one of the tanks that looked like it was full of Portuguese Man of War jellyfish because of all of the inflated, floating condoms. Then there are bathrooms that have signs that say "don't flush anything but toilet paper. Do not flush paper towels or feminine hygiene items!"

I wonder what those are called these days?
