Do you flush at night

[Duggeeismysaviour]

Interested as to the etiquette here... When you're staying at somebody's house. Obviously a good friend or family member. Say there's a bathroom between all bedrooms and you go for a wee in the night, do you flush and risk being anti social and waking them, or so you leave it and risk being anti social leaving a toilet full of wee for the next morning. Genuinely interested in the consensus!

Always flush the toilet.

Piss left to "mellow" absolutely fucking stinks! 🤢

I don’t flush at night at home because it disturbs my toddler (I am pregnant so probably 2-3 wees per night). But flush during the day obviously. At someone else’s house I would flush unless asked not to

I don't flush at home. It's only me weeing at night with post childbirth bladder and old cistern is really loud.

I don't flush at my mums day or night unless solid as they have a waste tank that gets emptied. Their request.

I flush everywhere else.

Yes, always. The smell of unflushed urine in the morning is foul.

Tbf it shouldn't even be yellow but straw- coloured otherwise you're clearly not drinking enough!

Flush always. Most people sleep through it and if you tiptoe around light sleeping dcs they never learn to sleep through things

Yes, I always flush, otherwise the bathroom will smell like public toilets with dodgy urinal in the morning. Utterly gross.

The toilet sounds loud when you are standing next to it, it isn't outside the bathroom with the door shut. And my ds flushes the toilet after opening the door, which is illuminating on how much sound the door effectively dampens.

“if you tiptoe around light sleeping dcs they never learn to sleep through things”

Yeah alright then, after 15 months of hourly wake ups when he finally sleeps through see how you feel about flushing the fucking loo and him waking up and taking hours to get back down. Easy for you to say. You fancy coming and dealing with it? Please do, I’m pregnant and could do with the break.

This is going to be like one of those poo particles threads isn’t it? Where people can’t believe that others live a slightly different way and it’s all fine and in RL no one cares

It's a single toilet flush, not Ride of the Valkyries a la Apocalypse Now.
...
But then again this is MN where sleeping people will be awakened for the rest of the night from a fart in the underground nuclear bunker 20 miles away, so...

I go for a wee at least twice every night and have done my entire life. If I stay somewhere else I always make a point of asking what the hosts want me to do, out of politeness. I'm not embarrassed.

This is one of my pet hates - I cannot bear to go into the bathroom to find that someone hasn't flushed the loo. DH goes several times a night and doesn't flush but he has his bathroom and I have mine, so as long as I don't have to go in there, I let him get on with it. I don't like it though!

we don't flush for wee in the night, and dcs don't flush for them in the day either (tiny wees). When we go to my mums she launches into a tirade of "dirty, smelly...." etc. I've taught them to turn a blind eye and just flush at other people's houses.

The thing is, I am a very light sleeper so would be woken by a flush. And I'm pregnant so I'm up multiple times. That said, I hate the thought of wee sitting in the bowl, so I do ultimately overcome my millisecond of internal conflict and flush when at other people's houses. I like the idea of the quiet half flush!

And yes, speaking from experience, the idea that tip toeing around a dc won't help them sleep through things is utter rubbish.

Yes, it's disgusting otherwise in my opinion. I'm a light sleeper and have never been woken up by anyone flushing the loo, and I don't think that should matter anyway. Just flush it! I used to have a flatmate who didn't, to be fair she was probably trying to be considerate but I had to flush every morning before I did anything it was just gross.

When we go to my mums she launches into a tirade of "dirty, smelly...." etc.

I mean, it is dirty and smelly when it's not your own (or your own partners/kids) bodily waste. You get accustomed to the people you live with so it doesn't seem gross to you, but it is when it's someone else's waste.

My PIL don't flush at night (or sometimes during the day) when they visit because they're so used to leaving it at home. It's not pleasant.

Normally flush and then I got pregnant which means regular nightly getting ups. Got to the point where I don't flush as I know I will be back soon. Once the baby arrives I will go back to nighttime flushing

At home, at night - pee nope, poop yes.

Anywhere else at any time of day night, always flush regardless of what I’ve filled it with!

Of course flush, I've never known anyone to not flush day or night.

Me personally, if someone just goes about it in the normal daytime fashion, wouldn't wake me up as these are the usual sounds.
If some considerate soul was trying to be all stealthy and quiet, now that would wake me up, as in "argh...prowler/burglar/rapist/murderer".

DH is same so we both just flush, rarely wake up.

I'd flush at someone else'd house day or night, but I don't at home during the night. I also don't turn on the light, but my dh does and makes the most awful racket. It amazes me as it's not like the loo changes location!!

Always flush. I actually wouldn't stay somewhere if they asked me not to as I would feel too uncomfortable
