The Long Lost Art Of The Courtesy Flush

[matcom]

x(

why oh why do people NOT use this little simple 'technique' when utilizing the public restroom facilities?

don't people have MANNERS anymore?

what do we tell the CHILDREN DAMMIT!!

:puke:

1. It's All Part Of Rove's Plan To Drive Courteous Lefties Crazy

Surely, you saw the memo!

[YellowRubberDuckie]

2. The worst thing is going in and finding...

skidmarks on the toilet...or even left overs. YEah...it's so easy to flush the damn toilet. Why don't they do it!?

3. Common courtesy is not so common these days.

Long live the courtesy flush! What's next? Will men start talking to the guy next to them at the urinal? Dammit people, there are rules for this sort of thing!

4. I courtesy flush

Then again, I have Crohn's disease... the flush is as much for me as others in the bathroom.

:D

5. Have you been talking with Lynnsin?

This little rant of yours is reminiscent of her "floaters" rant of a week or so ago. Do you guys plan these things?

9. I had a person who left their damn seatcover on the toilet

Like I want to reuse that thing

:puke: :puke: :puke:

6. I can't get very upset about this

... when the much more important issue of whether people wash their hands is being ignored!

17. on the hand washing issue-

In the morning, I take a nice hot shower- with soap, and get everything nice and clean. then i dry off with a nice clean towel(a fresh towel for each shower).
then I put on a nice clean pair of boxer-briefs, and then a clean pair of pants, usually jeans.
So- everything down there now has double-layered protection against the elements, and I'm ready to start the day.
I'm opening doors bare-handed, handling money, putting gas in the car, eating a breakfast sandwich, etc...all without any protection on my hands.
a couple hours after drinking my morning coke, i'll need to piss-
so, I go in the bathroom step up to the urinal, unzip my pants, and with my comparitively filthy hands take my still clean & pristine penis from the snuggly protection of my underpants, and do my business, being very careful not to piss on my fingers- as my mother taught me to do long ago.
and after I'm done I'm supposed to wash my hands?
for what?

it seems to me that if anything, i should be washing my hands before i take that piss...

7. Matcom, I deal with this at work

Turn around and CONFIRM that whatever it is you put in there has been properly flushed down the toilet.

I do not want to admire someone elses handiwork NOR do I want to reuse the toilet seat cover someone forgot to remove.

FLUSH FLUSH FLUSH FLUSH

:grrrrrr:

8. what exactly is a "courtesy flush"?

is flushing the toilet when you're done using it considered a courtesy these days?

[GOPisEvil]

10. It's a mid-use flush...

...so as to minimize offensive odors.

[Beaker]

13. if you're sitting on the toilet- how are you supposed to flush it?

especially the ones that don't have a handle, and use a proximity detector to activate the flush...?

it's a bathroom for chrissakes- there's gonna be odors, and most of them aren't going to be pleasant-

BUTT- if you can smell it, that means that molecules that just came out of someone else's hairy, drippy asshole have entered your nose and are tickling the nerve endings deep in your sinusses...yum-yum.

[GOPisEvil]

14. Just turn around and flush...with the hands-free ones, you're right...

...no courtesy flush.

[Beaker]

18. seems like a waste of water to me...

for no good reason.

bathrooms smell.

that's what they do.

[LynneSin]

11. A second flush to make sure everything has gone down the toilet

Sometimes it all doesn't make it with the first flush and when that happens some unlucky soul stumbles into the stall and sees the leftovers

:puke:

[ret5hd]

12. No, it's a flush...

in the middle of "business" so your "aromas" don't run others out of the room.

[ConcernedCanuk]

16. actually it's unsanitary to flush while you are ON the toilet

.
.
.

I've read articles that say if you flush with the toilet COVER not down, that germs can spread as far as SIX FEET away,

so I AIN'T gonna flush while I'm still sitting on the darn thing !

Those are MY parts I'm concerned about, not someone else's nose, sorry!

ps:

I thought b4 I started reading the darn thing that a "courtesy" flush was where you press the handle down slowly so it flushes quieter, like in the middle of the night say . . .

and reminds me of a question posed by an unknown

why do public toilets always sound like a 747 taking off when you flush!

(some of them ARE rather noisy, no?)

15. Some hard facts about S#%T

• S#%T stinks. If your S#%T doesn't stink, there's probably something wrong with you.


• Bathrooms and office restrooms are for S#%T, among other things. It should surprise no one that they sometimes smell like S#%T.


• S#%T comes in different smells, depending on a vast array of factors.


• S#%T happens. So do "track marks". So does inefficient water flow, leaving unexpected traces behind.


• No matter what it is that disgusts you, there's probably an easy way of getting past it and doing your business.

While I'm not terribly fond of S#%T, I don't put a lot of energy into being disgusted by it either. I must confess I don't quite understand it when people do.

However, being a bleeding-heart liberal, I'm willing to hear other viewpoints and respect them.
