If it's yellow, let it mellow?

Something we do in our household, if one of us pees then we always ask if anyone else has to go. Every so either DD or Dh has to go as well and so 2 pee/1 flush. (Disclaimer: we never do this when we have company, though company does this - wife asks husband if he hasto go. He went, he flushed - that is how we got the idea).

Always flush. I live in a tropical climate and that stuff stinks very fast in the heat.

I grew up with some rather iffy plumbing and low water pressure. Even then, you always flushed. Toilet paper would go into a covered waste basket besides the toilet which was cleaned out daily. That didn't smell, as there is too little, ahem, actual liquid there for it to stink if cleaned out daily.

We don't flush if we go in the middle of the night so we don't disturb each other.

Same here, but during the day, flush after each use. We also have bleach tabs in all the toilets because the germs there skeeve me out!

No way. That stuff starts to smell bad if it sits for awhile, too!

This is why it's necessary to have two toilets. One that is flushed after every useage and another that never ever is.

As mystifying as it is horrifying.

MC, I'm also curious what you meant.
Do you mean an extra toilet that is never flushed because it is never used?
I can't imagine never flushing a toilet that IS used.

It's never flushed. Wait a good six months and then call plummer and ask him what is wrong without the water. Lol!

so many unfortunate scenarios come to mind from this. If it is used but never flushed, it will not be used for long. Who could wait six months to call the plumber? If it is never used I would still want to flush it to keep the water from stagnating and becoming a breeding ground for mosquitos. I like those new self flushing ones.

I am joking. This is a thread about flushing toilets...seriously NOT meant to be serious!

Before I moved in with DH, I had always been a yellow-mellower. But, it grosses DH out, so now we flush every time. It still seems wasteful to me, but, I have to chose my battles and I am not going to battle with he-who-cleans-the-toilet.

 

[TooPatient]

Gotta say I'm relieved to see the results here!

We flush every time. Regardless.

Come to think of it, I had to break FI of the habit of walking into the bathroom to blow his nose and then flushing the toilet because he tossed a single tissue in.

And did you flush after it?

*ducks and runs!*

Kenny, your threads are amusing!

Flush every time (and ALWAYS with the lid down or a microscopic mist of toilet water will spray around the bathroom)

YES! I hate using public loos without covers. When forced, I do what I call the flush-and-rush. Flush, and get the h*ll out of there because that water is swirling and spraying thedeityofyourchoice-knows-what up in the air!

That SOOOOOO made me laugh bc I do it too (after flushing with my shoe)...its nice to know i'm not the only one!!!

The real question is, do you wear the shoes you flushed with in the house?

Hahaha, glad to see I'm not the only one to flush my boogers I feel like I do it as a public service (especially with as sick as I've been this winter) so that no one else has to get near my germs.

Ha HA ha, I just answered a poll on facebook about wearing shoes in the house/other's houses/asking guests to remove shoes....ironic that I come over to PS and read this...but NOOOOOO, no shoes in my house (especially now that my 10 month old is crawling!)
