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?!?!

I would support the... to cover the sound of elephant pee theory except he very rudely came in when I was in the bath and did it... So no disguising the sound. When questioned he said he's always done it and doesn't know why. .

Yep another one with a dad that does it here too!

DiegoMadonna · 16/05/2018 20:14

It's called race the flush. I think it's fairly common among men boys

pigmcpigface · 16/05/2018 20:25

Why would you do that? WHY WHY WHY?

DiegoMadonna Shock

So how many men boys are wasting the world’s precious water resources in this way?

DiegoMadonna · 16/05/2018 20:33

I don't think they're flushing more than once. So it's the same amount of water in the end.

My mum used to flush before she went because she reckoned it stopped splash back.

I don't see how.

Bramble71 · 16/05/2018 20:40

Why? Just why?

BreakfastAtSquiffanys · 16/05/2018 20:41

Do these odd men flush again afterwards, or do they leave the half pee to fester?

Hamandcheesebaguette · 16/05/2018 20:43

^ half pee to fester. Minky gits.

I now need to go and watch DP go for a wee.

How odd!

80sMum · 16/05/2018 20:43

Oh yes! My DH does that too! I've asked him not to but it's an entrenched habit from childhood.

Motherofallbeasts · 16/05/2018 20:45

Racing the flush?
Lots of men do it.

amigababy · 16/05/2018 20:45

John Cage used a remote control to pre-flush. As he liked a clean bowl. (Ally McBeal reference)
In the unisex toilets. Ahead of its time, it was.

Flashinggreen · 16/05/2018 20:47

My DH does it too, stupid man.

Lowdoorinthewal1 · 16/05/2018 20:48

Mine does it too. I hate it and I've said so, but he can't seem to help himself. Hmm

He'd better not teach DS!

MorningsEleven · 16/05/2018 20:50

What? Do they wipe their arses before they finish shitting too?

OldEnglishSheepDog · 16/05/2018 21:05

My DH tells me there is an episode of Men Behaving Badly where Tony explains how to do a super-fast wee. I wonder if that's the inspiration?

youvegottobekidding · 16/05/2018 21:06

Yep, my DH does this too!

MyKingdomForACaramel · 16/05/2018 21:09

Argh DH does this too! His response to me - why do you run the tap when you brush your teeth (I do - but do turn off at intervals)

CookPassBabtridge · 16/05/2018 21:30

DP doesn't do this but does flush the clean toilet before he poos.. even though toilet is out of earshot. The mind boggles.

Mollypolly2610 · 16/05/2018 21:33

Mine does this and I get up to pee lying in the bowl in the morning!

tedrekasta · 24/05/2018 23:13

Guilty.

I do this.

I think in my case it's to do with age. When I think I have finished I sometimes haven't. So in anticipation of finishing I flush too soon. Then things drag on somewhat.

Though I do flush again when I have finally finished.
