to ask him to flush the sodding loo after peeing?!

[lagoon]

I don't want to go to my loo and find a toilet of my partner's unflushed pee, it makes me feel bleugh to have to sit and do my business on top of his business. I flush after doing anything in the toilet so why can't he? (he does leave the toilet clean and flushed after a poo however)

We don't live together (yet) and need to know how to nip this in the bud, or is it something I should just put up with?!

If it's yellow let it mellow
If it's brown flush it down...

Saves water :)

haha
that's what I was going to say :)

Eurgh no! YANBU.

Just tell him it bothers you. It would bother me too but I know tons of people don't flush a wee to save water.

That would bug me to death!

If you feel happy about it you're free to waste as much water as you want. I'd rather people didn't flush after every wee though.

Well........we have plenty of water to spare, so why not waste it?

While my husband flushes (as do I), I can't say that I get overly bothered at peeing on top of pee, even in public loos (I would obviously try the flush first, but if it's broken, I don't leave to find another loo)

Obviously, I'm assuming any pee I'd be willing to pee upon is a clear, light yellow colour, not a brown, stinking, cloudy cesspool.

DH does this it was the least fun ever when I had Hyperemesis rushing to loo to throw up only to be greeted with the stench of piss that has been mellowing overnight.

YANBU. When wee is left to fester and people keep adding more pee on top it starts to smell.
I don't follow the 'if it's yellow let it mellow' because I can't stand leaving the toilet unflushed.
I do, however, have one of those bag thingies in my cistern to reduce the amount of water that is used with every flush.

Just put up with it. It saves water. We don't flush every time.

Apart from yes, itswhat, when I had HG and then it was flushed even when someone hadn't been near it for hours!

I don't care if it saves water. I do not want to see pee in the toilet.

Sometimes someone in the house gets up to pee at night and don't flush. First thing in the morning it stinks.

Gross
Sod saving water

Oh well, obviously you are all young........and will rue the day when you are older and water costs a fortune and you can't AFFORD to flush

Personally I flush because while it might save water in the short term it adds to the amount of chemical cleaner you need to add to get rid of the mineral build-up. I'd rather flush than poison the water supply.

According to Thames Water's web site, the cost of water (including waste removal charge) is 1.6 to 1.9p per flush. If it's priced correctly, that price will include the environmental cost of extra usage. So I'd guess that most of the people who are economising, needn't.

You want to re plumb your bathroom, so all water from your shower and basin is collected to fill the toilet cistern. That way you can flush as much as you want as it's grey water anyway.

I have no idea why we use drinking grade water to flush. It makes absolutely no sense to me: it's criminally wasteful of an increasingly expensive and precious resource.

I suppose we have to be thankful nowadays that we don't have chamber pots or commodes, but we might be heading that way, as the planet gets hotter, and steady, resovoir filling rainfall is less predictable.

That's interesting Venus - I agree that it's criminally wasteful, especially when half the world's population doesn't even have clean drinking water and ours is so plentiful that we use it to flush our toilets.

How easy is it to do in an existing house. Can it just be done, is it easier if you are having a new bathroom anyway, or is it only really practical for new builds? Do new builds use grey water - because if they don't, they should.

I'm very much of the 'if it's yellow...' mentality at home and we're not even on a water meter. It just seems so wasteful.

But I'm not convinced by the water saving properties of reduced flush toilets - I don't think I've seen one where the 'wee flush' button is anywhere near adequate.

aaaah, dp does this he comes out of the bathroom and i shout through ARE YOU GOING TO FLUSH THAT TOILET?! and he does when I remind him, he only forgets sometimes apart from that. He has 2 brothers and they do it too, don't flush. Really annoys me. He flushes at my house.

I thought it was the end of July when the the schools broke up

OP yanbu. My dp sadly the same! As is DS sobs
