The history of mankind has taught us many things, and many hard lessons were learned; but still one thing, one subject, one debate is still causing much anger, pain and plain old disgust.. Do you use the toilet once and then flush, or do you show your appreciation for Mother Earth and her beautiful creatures by 'building up' urine, paper and fecal matters during a whole day and only flush once at night? It saves water!

"When you do that, you save my home! Thank you, chum" a concerned duck said when asked about the subject.

I knew a family of four that did this! They say they learned and got used to this method during long camping trips. I think it's bloody disgusting and dangerous; imagine all the contamination issues! But it seems that more and more families across America are doing this.

So what is your personal rule when it comes to toilet maintenance?
 
When I lived alone sometimes I'd let my pee hang out in there but just to be respectful to my gf I flush every time. Leaving shit in the toilet is fucking nasty.
 
Flush. Every time.

My partner used to hate it when she'd go to the toilet and her grandmother wouldn't flush to save water. Some habits are hard to die.

"i only flush once at night, but i'll just pretend i'm normal and say that that's disgusting."
 
If anyone that replies to this thread does save up their mess before they flush it I hope they have the courage to confess to it.
 
If you don't flush then you'd have to clean your toilet everyday.

I make it a point to flush all the toilets in large bathrooms just to counteract those assholes who let their pee sit in urinals.

Gross dude.
 
I'm going to try to change the crazy question to just a stupid one.

Do you actually save water by flushing less? I thought it was filtered and re-used but I don't know anything about water treatment plants.

I assumed it just helps the water bill.
 
I don't like the implication that there is a choice between flush now or flush eventually.

The real choice is "flush now" or "be disgusting".
 
The only time I don't flush immediately is right before I take a shower in the morning.

I don't have time to wait for the temperature to fix itself after the toilet flush so I flush it after I get out of the shower.
 
The majority of my (lets call them #2's) require 2 flushes already... This is impossible to do for even me by myself, let alone adding in my brother who i live with.

I could see not flushing in the middle of the night if you get up to take a leak to be courteous to others sleeping, but I get pissed off if first thing in the morning I lift the lid and see he hasn't flushed, so that's not happening either.
 
Flush that shit. I don't live in a first world country for nothing.

Poos require at least 2, usually 3 or 4 flushes. I have a rather powerful toilet but I use northern which is rather thick and can clog even the fanciest of toilets.
 
WTF? Who is promoting this terrible practice?!

No wonder I walk into public restrooms and all the fucking toilets are full of shit. Flush that shit. Who could possibly find it acceptable to walk in on such a festering, foul smelling sight?
 
letting piss sit in there all day? Fine, stagnant urine is an awful smell, but whatever. But seriously, if you don't flush after you take a dump there's something wrong with you. Mother Earth will be just fine if you flush your shit and piss a few times a day. For fucks sake....

I think this whole "saving water" business is a sham, water isn't going anywhere; it constantly gets recycled over and over again.

How do you explain water shortages in hot regions in the summer then?
Most of water people use everyday comes from underground, and if there's no rain, there's no water.


Disclaimer:I don't do this, but some people I know do (just with pee though).
 
I know someone who doesn't flush every time. She's not a gross person at all. In fact, I used to have sex with her.

But every god damn time I walked into the bathroom there was a 5 foot log in there.

btw. if they'd build a water system that would use used shower water to flush the toilet... now that would save some water.
 
if it's yellow let it mellow

if it's brown flush it down.

In places with water shortage issues, this is a sensible thing to do.

But I live in the netherlands, were there is too much water, so I have a deliciously fresh toilet. sometimes I just flush it cause i like how it sounds.

are you a really fat man?
 
We are on a water meter (get charged for how much we use) so if its just piss don't always flush but surely no one can be disgusting enough to leave shit in all day?
 
I thought this thread was going to be about flushing multiple times during one sitting to prevent a log jam. I've NEVER heard of anyone doing something like this.
 
Oh criminey freaking sakes, if you take advantage of any first-world luxury, make it flushing the damn toilet. Nothing like building up a giant crap pile (which is freaking unacceptable anyway), flushing it, and then having to plunge and plunge when it clogs.

I can see letting pee sit in the toilet in some cases, though. Like, my wife's Dad used to have this cabin where flushing the toilet too often would play hell with how water was pumped up from the well, etc.

Been a long time since I seen a "Wash your ass" thread, I see they have mutated.
 
When I pee during the night I don't flush. I don't see how it's gross. I know I'm going to pee in the morning and no one else is going to use it in the meantime.

I clean my toilet once a week anyway it's not going to be disgusting.
 
SMH... and here I was thinking that the OP was referring to whether or not you flush after every time a piece of shit comes out of your ass or flushing after you're completely done shitting...
But SAVING EVERYTHING UP for one big flush at the end of the day??!!! WHY?
Just NO!
 
If there is ONE first world benefit that everyone should have access to, barring the access to clean food and water, it's a goddamn toilet.

It's dubious whether mother nature will REALLY benefit from saving up the logs, but we can at least be certain that baby jesus would be sad.
