I'm never the one to turn on the disposal in my house due to my overwhelming (irrational) compulsion to put my hand in it.

Please don’t act on that compulsion.
-
I won't, I promise. (thank you for caring!)
-
I went fishing in there once to get a ring, and I had this very real fear someone would somehow not notice and would attempt to use it. I was home alone, btw

Well that's why they invented Lock-Out-Tag-Out. It has happened before. Not specifically a disposal but other machines. Next time just unplug it from under the sink and test the switch to make sure it doesn't run.

Hmm. This sounds smarter than some of my ideas, like covering the switch with duct tape and putting up a sign for clarity.
-
And Turn OFF the breaker switch too

Zero plumber visits = scrape all into the garbage can. No banana peels or fistfuls of pasta. Tea & coffee grounds directly in the garden. Only water & lemon wedge in the disposal, pals. Finish with your favorite scouring powder. Side query: what kind of monsters flush tampons?

Flakes...

No matter how rotten they get never put a banana peel down it
-
Why waste a banana peel when you can put it in your garden and it will help your garden grow better
-
Not a gardener but not a bad idea

My tomato plants came out great, my Peppers came out great, and this is the first year I got pomegranates all because of bananas skins

As a Brit I can honestly say that Tweet makes no sense whatsoever to me!

Y'all don't have kitchen sink disposals across the pond?
-
No, disposals in sinks are not typically found in Europe.
-
How do ya’ll wash your dishes without clogging the drain?
-
My mother used to fret about that. No oil or fat and no food scarps in the sink, plus one of those drain insets that functions like a sieve.
