It’s night, and you’ve just peed in the toilet, but there’s a problem, the toilet cistern is not full, and it’s too late to wait, what are you going to do and for what reasons?
-
Wait until tomorrow for the cistern to fill so you can get rid of the urine.
-
Pour water from the cistern, even knowing that it is not enough to get rid of urine.
…some people don’t?
Why would I? Seems wasteful. I only flush every third time or so, unless I shit.
To keep your toilet cleaner and your bathroom smelling fresher. And to reduce splashback of urine when sitting.
The first two points aren’t really worth the wasted water because if you drink enough water your urine shouldn’t smell that strong.
And I’m not sure why urine would splash on me when I’m sitting? I always sit, and afaik I’ve never gotten urine on me lol like what
Dropping poop sometimes creates splashes
This may blow your mind, but it’s also possible to flush before shitting if this is a real concern. You’ll still save a lot more water than you would by flushing urine every single time.
I don’t really care what you do, though. I just don’t think there’s any real reason to be so extravagantly wasteful when your watered-down urine in the toilet doesn’t even create a smell.
Then you’re doubling your flushes for your poops. I’m sure there’s some formula for this that could be worked out, lol
Reason number 3 is that something dropped in the toilet is less unpleasant to retrieve from a flushed toilet. Forgot that one earlier.
As well, it might be creating a smell that you’ve gone nose-blind to. Like a person’s own BO. Others can smell it long before the “owner” can.
Flushing after every use also creates a habit so that one never forgets to flush after using someone else’s toilet or a public one.
(Purely for the sake of argument)
You would not be double flushing for every number 2. Assuming a clean bowl at the start:
1111112 would be 3 flushes for 7 sessions 1212121 would be 6 flushes for 7 sessions 2222222 would be 7 flushes for 7 sessions 1121121 would be 4 flushes for 7 sessions
You can group any section of 1s between 2s into groups of 3 with up to 1 group with less than 3 1s. Each group would be converted to a 2. Then, you would do a flush after each 2.
As a side note, please don’t do this. It’s genuinely disgusting to go to someone else’s urine scented bathroom
I’m super old, and I’ve never forgotten to flush at someone else’s house or a public one. In fact, I often have to flush someone else’s turds.
And people actually tell me my house smells good, so I’m pretty sure I’m not noseblind to urine. If it were potent enough to smell, then I’d either have to drink more water or consult a medical professional lol
Heh, maybe your house smells good relative to the houses that leave turds
