Be even more impressive if it was the person who uses their feet to flush.

I just found out the other night that my hubby thought we did this because we didn't like the cleanliness of other loos. You must be joking! I love going for a pee in other bathrooms because our bathroom at home is just awful. But the thought of someone knowing it was me who made that pong is just too humiliating.
If I do have to go at work, I choose a toilet that is far away from my office block and preferably in a block of loos to reduce the risk of someone waiting to go in after me. Horror of horrors :eek:
By far away from my office, I don't mean someone else's place of work! Where I work there are lots of office blocks scattered across the site.
Exactly thisThe opposite of what you know...is also true0 -
I'm not particularly keen on the Infrared flushes.
They 'go off' when you 'reposition' mid poo....
I have also noticed that what people sometimes think is 'pee' on the seat is in fact just splashback from the flush.
You can never be too careful though......
Then there is the warm seat syndrome......or 'Shoeburyness' as it is called (The vague uncomfortable feeling you get when sitting on a seat that is still warm from somebody else's bottom)....
One of my biggest hates (along with those people who do an unflushable 'forearm poo') are those people who STAND on the seat and presumably do a 'long drop' to avoid sitting on the seat. How wierd are they???British Ex-pat in British Columbia!0 -

Loo paper to deaden the splash
Or
Time the toilet flush just before the drop!
Never fails!
Apparently if you flush whilst dropping it reduces the stick! Can't imagine what you do with the dirty paper then though, you would have to flush twice which would make everyone think you have done a floater!:)0 -
Who knew the politics of taking a dump was such a minefield!0

But what about the toilet monster? You know - the one who waits in the u-bend and leaps out mid-flush? That's why I always put the lid down before I flush!

And are you not worried the flush/whirlpool will catch your bum and pull you in?0 -

Apparently if you dont the poo and wee particles can spray about 2 meters. Not so good if you have your toothbrush nearby!0 -

Don't mind flushing twice as there is virtually no whiff, so anyone hanging around to hear you flush twice would just think you were fastidious !0 -

Correct. I don't know about you but I've never had a bathroom large enough for anything to be 2 metres away.
We have a towel rail above and to the side of the loo and I'm the only one who puts the lid down. But hey, it's not my towel that hangs there - it's hubby's!0 -

I'm sorry, what now? Please tell me this is another Douglas Adams reference and not a real thing!0
