    “Some men see no garbage bin and ask, “Why?” Others see no garbage bin and ask, “Why not?” ~ Reuven Efraim Kennedy

    Why not get a bin during the week and place it there?

    Speaking of tissues, this is a good time to bring up tissue conservation. Many people upon using a tissue are prone to throwing it out right away, not realizing there is an entire other side which has not been used yet.

    The issue of the tissue? I wouldn’t touch it.

    I never saw a used tissue on a table anywhere else other than in a beis medrash but the fact this only happened in shul never sunk in. I had thought that maybe this was a difference in etiquette between where I grew up and where I was now but now I see it may be a frum issue instead. This was during the week so I don’t think carrying on Shabbos was the issue! Not leaving dirty tissues on a table is a great pay to put some learning into practice.

    I saw an advertisement lately of someone selling such small ‘shtender tissue bins’. Don’t recall where though. Anyone know what I’m talking about?

    “What if someone woke up with a cold Shabbos morning and is using a tissue every 10 or 15 minutes?”

    Sit in the back of shul so you can go in and out without disturbing others.

    It shows a lack of ???? ????? (not to be mistaken with “Kuvid Hataireh” – what people announce when they want you to move out of their way…)

    Chulent (from one year ago): “What if the person is single or otherwise doean’t have a talis bag? (Or is a woman.)”

    Then a woman should put the tissues in her tichel. 😛

    jfem, your advice is sensible. But a superficial scroll through this old thread will show you that you’re not dealing with sensible people here. People who leave used tissues on a table inside a shul are obviously not considerate or normal enough to take your good advice.

    Pity!
