To think it's fucking bonkers to flush the toilet before you're finished??

DP does this. Has a pee... flushes mid pee.

All it means really is that the water left in the toilet is now about a quarter pee. Why would you not flush when you're finished like a normal person

Does anybody else's DP do this?!?!

Errrr nope.

Sometimes DH does a 'courtesy flush' after poop but before wipe, but I can't figure out why. Definitely not while peeing. That's weird too!

pud1 · 16/05/2018 19:23

Mine does this. It’s insane. It drives me mad. I have no idea why

Magicstar1 · 16/05/2018 19:26

Yep, mine did this. I pointed out that the water in the toilet wasn't clear, and wondered why...then realised. I asked him not to do it any more so he doesn't.

TenancyTroublesAgain · 16/05/2018 19:37

Why the fuck would anyone do this?

I think they are saving many seconds over the course of a year on which to spend on more important things like turnip sculpting or cross stitch.

BrazzleDazzleDay · 16/05/2018 19:39

It's the sort of thing a toddler does when you're mid pee.

PortiaCastis · 16/05/2018 19:40

Don't have a dp but do have a water meter so no double flushing in this house unless absolutely necessary

Bojangles33 · 16/05/2018 19:43

Mine does this! WHY?!? I don't get it. Men are weird.

Hamandcheesebaguette · 16/05/2018 19:49

I kind of think it's a really immature game of seeing if he can finish his pee before the flush finishes? Confused

I can't think of any other reason... it's really odd though. Imagine if I did it... mid pee.. swing around to press the flush and continue?!?!

My husband does this.

Phase84 · 16/05/2018 19:52

My dh does this too! And my dad.

PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks · 16/05/2018 19:52

That's weird. I flush after using 2 pieces of loo paper, otherwise the loo blocks, but not mid wee. Confused

Mrsderekshepard · 16/05/2018 19:53

🙋🏼 yep my husband does it too annoys the shit out of me

littlelemonade · 16/05/2018 19:54

Yay I thought my DP was the only one Grin Does my head in!

ImTakingTheEssence · 16/05/2018 19:54

My ex did this and claimed it helped him to pee!

Moneyissue2 · 16/05/2018 19:57

This is so funny, never known anyone to do this.

Sometimes I flush at work just before a plop, to disguise the noise. That’s if it was unexpected, if it was expected I would have lined the toilet with tissue paper to disguise.

Are these men disguising the noise?

BrutusMcDogface · 16/05/2018 19:58

Bizarre! never heard of this!

Mummyoflittledragon · 16/05/2018 20:01

Dh doesn’t do it. On a seriousl note, those men, who do and are saying it helps them pee, could perhaps have prostrate issues.

Chesntoots · 16/05/2018 20:02

My DO does this too. Drives me mad! Although I have my odd little moments as well, I would think...

Ginkypig · 16/05/2018 20:02

Iv never heard of this, how can it be so common?

Has any of these weirdos mid flushers said why they do it?

Mid poo at least it's sort of explainable because it flushes away the smell causing material quicker.

user1483390742 · 16/05/2018 20:04

Maybe it's to block out the sound of an elephant weeing in the bathroom! At least that's what i think about my DH! Grin

LoveInTokyo · 16/05/2018 20:05

GuntyMcGee I’m guessing he does that after he’s done a particularly large poo in order to avoid blocking the toilet by trying to flush the poo and the paper in one go.

OnTopOfSpaghetti · 16/05/2018 20:06

@ConciseandNice that made me chuckleGrin

ReallyOughtToBeWorking · 16/05/2018 20:08

Weird for a pee. However I do enormous poos and my toilet flush is very weak so I often flush mid-shit Grin
