Is it normal to not flush the loo at night?

[Ittakesthree]

So DH won't flush the loo over night if it's just a wee, he says it's because he grew up in the south east and they regularly had droughts so don't flush, I think it's absolutely disgusting. Lately I've only been using the downstairs loo (as I'm too busy with DD to bother checking he's flushed the loo) so will often only go in to the upstairs bathroom in the early evening at bath time and find it unflushed and it stinks. Do other men/people do this?

@OneandTwenty if you dig, no need for flushing

Ick, of course I flush it. And I'm from London!

Not sure if it’s been mentioned but when I was younger there was an ad campaign on the Tube telling people not to flush if it’s just a wee.

In our house we always flushed at night but that’s stopped since we had babies as they wake easily. We flush by 5am when they get up for the day so it’s not a big deal.

I am on it, my business is slow anyway!

@OneandTwenty 😂 good. Don't forget that these are movable! Great marketing in it imho😂 Just dig a new hole, move the shithouse, fill old hole
You might need some digger equipment 🤔

Don't flush a wee, such a waste of water. And no, it doesn't smell in the loo. Unless you've got a UTI or been eating asparagus/drinking champagne...

How is a little blood more disgusting than pee?!!!!!

Also have the motto : if it's brown flush it's down if it's yellow let it mellow. The amount of water used in a single flush is a lot.

And a wee at night doesn't get flushed because the plumbing is really loud and goes on for ages

Tbh any man who can’t deal with seeing your poo in the toilet is not a man to stick with. He’s going to be seeing a lot more than that when I’m old.

And any woman, of course.

Our plumbing sounds like a Concorde crash landing, so with a 1yo and 3yo, we dont flush wees after they're in bed. I hate it. I hate finding stale wees in the morning, but hate waking small people more.

I don’t flush at night, but I drink loads of water so my pee doesn’t have noticeable scent. If I was more dehydrated and it did smell then I’d definitely flush.

It’s not just pee though, presumably if female there will be pee and toilet paper in the loo so just looks awful even if pee is clear?

A new part 2 ball cock will fit that at insignificant cost.

The Pegler is better if you can find one.

In this house, wee is not flushed at night. Noisy waste of water.

We don't flush wee 's at night ,we live In a Victorian house so it's old an creaky and the plumbing is quite loud no way do i want to wake the kids 😱 who would risk that ? X also we whisper when the kids are asleep it's weird but weve always done it and watch the tv.quietly with subtitles , our children are ALL terrible sleepers i think this is why we do all this.😂😂😂

I dont flush at all if its just a wee never have done and my loo is spotless. What a waste of water just for 1 wee especially on a water meter too.

We flush it no matter time of day.

In the old days but now Jesus flush

We don’t flush at night.
Actually I am the only person who gets up for a wee in the night, everyone male sleeps through.

The flush is noisy, it’s a waste of water , it’s no problem to not flush.

FIL doesn't flush and when he stayed with us when I was 30 odd weeks pregnant the smell made me vomit. Fine in your own house but in someone else's and if you know you are a 64 year old man with smelly pee...

What has age got to do with the strength of smell? The piss of 64 year olds smells more than that of 30 or 40 year olds?

I do agree that when staying in someone else’s house flushing is a minimum standard of manners.

Yes. More protein in the wee in older men I think due to their prostates breaking down

Didn’t notice anyone mention this...

Tellmetruth4 excellent post.

Everyone complaining about Niagara like noises at night is also experiencing Niagara like volumes of water going down the drain.

Get yourselves low volume flush loos and dare to flush. You will notice the difference in smell between loos that have and have not been flushed at night within the week.
