He doesn't flush the toilet!!!!

[taky90]

Am sick of reminding DH to flush the toilet whenever he uses it or I just have to flush before I use it to avoid arguing. Are your men like this because am really fed up?

Someone in my work doesn't flush... Yuck! So someone put up a sign saying "feeling stupid? Having a bad day? Just think, there's someone in this office who doesn't know how to flush! Feeling better about yourself now?"

we pay for water sooooo if it's yellow let it mellow, if it's brown flush it down.
i'm a very light sleeper so, i'm not keen on people flushing the toilet during the night, so certainly if people get up to piddle I think it's best to not flush (poop needs to be flushed as usual).

Yuck no my DH wouldn't dream of not flushing! In fact he moans if I leave the lid up.
I pay for water too but still flush after every wee. It stinks to leave it.

I thought everyone flushed until I went off to school and discovered some people are raised/trained to not flush. Reasons are to save water or it caused a lot of noise. It was a once a day thing. That is so disgusting to me though.

I'm a big fan of the automatic flushers we have at work, but then you use a non-automatic flusher and you have to remember to flush it yourself!

I would make him get up and flush it every time - just like you would train a child, if the family's philosophy is going to be flush after every time.

DP doesn't flush wees, thankfully he's anal about poo

Anal about poo haha

I'm used to it now. His brother is the same apparently and so is his dad so it's an upbringing thing in our case.

Oh no, my 8 year old son is a notorious 'no flusher' and we are working on it. I don't want his wife writing a post like this 20 years from now . Seriously though, I would expect more from a from a grown man! Put a note on the back of the toilet door so he has to look at it as he leaves...wait, unless he pisses with the door open too....

Meh I can't get her up about wee being left, and now that flushing wakes sleeping dd no matter how loud her white noise is on, I've become less bothered about poo. I do always have a panic run and check before anyone comes over though.

In a friends house with ancient plumbing the rule was 'yellow mellow brown down'

Yorick, no idea if he was trying to be awful to me. He said it was no big deal, I was overreacting etc. It made him look like such a fucking moron and is such a turn-off.
With him gone my bathrooms are gleaming (along with the rest of the house)
Bliss

I can't get worked up about wee not being flushed, although I do check if we have visitors. I think it's staggering we use drinking quality water to flush the loo. Should be a separate system reusing washing up water or or something. Poo though is a different thing. That should always be flushed.

My boss never flushes. It's vile

Someone from Oz that I shared a house with, had been raised with the "yellow mellow brown down" mantra.
He couldn't believe that we would waste sooooo much decent water every day, litres and litres of it, just to flush away a little bit of pee. He actually found it almost insulting, our careless attitude to wasting a natural resource like that.
I kinda saw his point, it is very wasteful esp if you are in a country where water is short and costly.
However we were in Scotland, with plenty of rainwater, so I guess our culture and expectation is different. I still flush! Except at night when DS is unsettled, then I will leave it till morning for DH to flush first

My husband does this! Leaves a lovely,yellow,frothy pile of piss for me to find (fermenting nicely by the time I get to it normally!). It's vile.

Same here....after weeing and really pees me off (excuse the pun!). Have mentioned numerous times but he just keeps forgetting. Happened again today and I'm getting sick of it!

My Dad spits down the toilet and leaves that down there, i usually have to flush the loo before I use it :(

Eh it's not just blokes that do this

DH went through a phase of this a while back. It was to do with wanting to save water/the environment. Only for wees but I hated it and had to ramp up the reminding to banshee level before it sunk in but he did mostly stop. Still tries it on occasionally but I can live with it (for now!) I suspect he lets it mellow to his hearts content when I am safely at work and he has the place to himself. Rank!

Oh, when the dc were little, we never flushed wee once they were asleep but that was a case of the lesser of the two evils! It used to be awful if I woke needing a wee after about 4.30am as the slightest sound would have DS1 bounding out of his bedroom with a big grin on his face thinking it was time to start the day!

Only time it's ok not to flush a wee is in the middle of the night when it might disturb people.

All those worried about saving water get a toilet brick in the cistern or a small flush loo.

Old smelly pee is rank

My uni roommates introduced me to yellow/mellow-brown/down.
But then I had to ask about the red tampon (that apparently did not change the qualification of yellow). It was agreed to flush the red too.

If it really bothers you, look into purchasing one of these electronic flush valves or similar:

What adult is unable to flush a toilet?!

Verse 2:

If you don't, and let it linger
You are one disgusting minger.

Nah, if it yellow, it's mellow
If it's brown, flush it down

As long as it's flushed regularly and properly cleaned 3-4 times a week, then it's all good.

Fodie
