All I wanted to say was A) Flush. Always flush. B) A good friend of mine has a rather obnoxious brother who NEVER flushes if it's just a wee. It's bad enough he leaves the door open and doesn't wash his hands, but to leave it like he was proud of it makes me feel somewhat disgusted. IT'S NEVER OK!Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18377247649626004165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30034378.post-49591949980215665922011-12-11T23:20:40.874+00:002011-12-11T23:20:40.874+00:00I feel your pain.

(I drink a lot of water) . I night flush only when I am a guest at someone else's house and I know I'm sharing a loo. For me it's more about the environment than the noise. Some flushes, in my opinion, are just needless and wasteful. Comes from living through periods of water rationing.Elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09130776138284979286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30034378.post-23543975404180571802011-11-29T17:43:36.029+00:002011-11-29T17:43:36.029+00:00model - It is most definitely a boy thing.

I'm glad they helped a little bit. Sometimes it's nice to know that someone else is going through the same thing, if only so that when they move on and feel better, you know you will too. <br /><br />Gorilla - Those Victorians had the right idea.

I was yesterday, however, confronted by a very large brown turd (let's not beat around the bush). I let out a little yelp. Why would you not flush that?<br /><br />Anyway on an unrelated note I have been reading all your posts on your break up, and having just broken up with someone myself they have helped me just a little.

I didn't once, when staying at a friend's, and the next morning she was all "so what's up with the peeing and not flushing?" so that was that.<br /><br />I'm way more bothered by guys whizzing like racehorses when people are in the next room. Can't you sit down or something? Same thing when bathrooms are right off of kitchens. At least run the faucet or something.

It wasn't the flush so much as the elephantine footsteps and the slamming of the door.<br /><br />On which note - loo paper. Anyone else familiar with the 3-sheet rule, or is that just me?

I commend your efforts on the night-flush situation. <br /><br />Oh Josh, Josh, Josh, Josh. "Grow a pair" - now that's not very polite, is it? It's not just the colour of wee that irks me, Josh. It's the fact it's someone elses bodily waste. I don't have the same squeamishness when I come home and the toilet water is blue from bleach. It's wee, Josh.

I apologise, but my mother is such a light sleeper that I can't have a clock in my bedroom because our rooms share a wall and the ticking wakes her up. I do what Smidge and Breeza do — lid down. <br /><br />But when I stay over at Garry's house, or a friend's house? I flush that thing. There is NO WAY I am letting other people see my wee. And I don't let them hear it, either — if you put a big handful of loo paper down before you go, it absorbs the sound.<br /><br />The amount of thought I put into this is worrying.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02221641004251160337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30034378.post-56566167313255117532011-11-23T17:06:09.456+00:002011-11-23T17:06:09.456+00:00Martin - OH THE FAN.

We win.<br /><br />Smidge and Breeza - Controversial. Now, I think even if the lid was closed, I'd still open it up before I thought "Oh, now hang on...this might be down because it's hiding some - MHHAARRGHHHHHHHHHHH!"<br /><br />James - I agree. If I'm woken up, I'm woken up. In my experience, the flush is usually the quietest bit. And you're right, morning wee Vs. waking up hosts - I'd deffo opt for the latter as well.Please Don't Eat With Your Mouth Openhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09246896544080806179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30034378.post-62250924572949453582011-11-23T17:02:50.431+00:002011-11-23T17:02:50.431+00:00Defnitely a night flusher.

But I'd rather someone be annoyed at me flushing the loo than being annoyed at facing my wee in the morning.<br /><br />The lid down option is a compromise though.<br /><br />In my opinion you become habituated to toilet flushing in the night anyway. The only people it wakes is people who come from non - flushing households.
