Flush the freaking toilet!
I cannot tell you how many times I’ve walked into a public toilet and recoiled in horror at the floating brown objects. Or bits of toilet paper soaked in weird smelling yellow liquid. Pretty gross sounding, isn’t it? Luckily, I’m not the type to throw up and faint at the sight of a bit of poo, but it’s not something I want to see!
I’m a nice person, so I flush the toilet so the next person who comes in won’t have to witness floaty bits. Then I slowly back out of the cubicle and go into another one.
And what do I see? More un-flushed toilets! Damn it!
Shouldn’t flushing the toilet be as reflexive as washing your hands when you’re finished? Is it so hard to push a bloody button? Flush the freaking toilet!

Woops.

The most disgusting thing I’ve ever seen in any public ladies’ room: a foul mixture of blood, urine, and liquefied fecal matter brewing in the bowl, adorned with about half a roll of shredded toilet paper and at least three cigarette butts.
This was in the school bathroom! The worst part of that was that it wouldn’t flush. Oh dear heavens…
# Leila, 1 year, 1 month ago.
Wow! Two comments at the same time FTW!!
Um, I’m done now.
# Amanda, 1 year, 1 month ago.
Did you know that when you flush a toilet with the lid up, the bacteria shoots two metres into the air and its corresponding radius? So yeah, next time you flush the toilet of someone else’s excrement, just think of all that bacteria all over you. :P
# Amber, 1 year, 1 month ago.
Ah, Amanda, that’s disgusting… I don’t even excuse my recently turned 6 brother from forgetting to flush the loo. It’s wrong. Immoral. Disgusting. Gross. Horrid. Why do people do it?! I’ll never know. I bet those people don’t wash their hands either…
# Tracey, 1 year, 1 month ago.
Leila - Oh that’s gross! I’d hate to be stuck in a toilet that didn’t flush though, I’d die of shame.
Amanda - I’m closing the lid from now own. And carrying some kind of anti-bacterial spray everywhere now. Thanks a lot! :|

I share your outrage; is it really that hard to flush?
Okay, the bacteria thing Amanda mentioned is making me never flush a toilet again. The toilets in my school don’t even have lids!
# Corinne, 1 year, 1 month ago.
I was saying the same thing not 15 minutes ago. It’s really disgusting.
“Shouldn’t flushing the toilet be as reflexive as washing your hands when you’re finished?”
I question the # of people who actually do. *Shudders*
# marilyn, 1 year, 1 month ago.
I’ve seen plently of people walk out of the bathroom and not wash their hands….I’m pretty sure they don’t flush either (barfs). It’s just gross and dirty!
# Meli, 1 year, 1 month ago.
Ugh, I know! And most public restrooms don’t HAVE lids on the toilets (probably because old people can’t tell the difference, sitting on the lid or sitting on the seat) to close them.
We’ve had the bathrooms at work get pretty bad occasionally. One morning we went into the men’s bathroom (and these don’t have stalls, it’s just one toilet) to find crap all down the front of the seat, on the floor, and some on the walls. The worst part is that it was DRIED, so the night crew didn’t even NOTICE!
Great way to get comments, by the way. Mention poop and watch everyone come running to tell their stories. XD

Amen amen!
# Kimmie, 1 year, 1 month ago.
When my dad is playing video games, he is so lazy he won’t flush the toilet. It drives me INSANE.
# Eina, 1 year, 1 month ago.
This is why the automatic flushing toilets were invented.*nodnod* But meh, I wish my school would have these kinds of toilets installed in our washrooms :P
# Kycoo, 1 year, 1 month ago.
I tend to avoid public toilets. If I do use one, my grandma always insists that I push the button with my foot. :)
# Bobbi-lee, 1 year, 1 month ago.
I have never come across that problem before, but I always see women rush out of a public toilet without washing their hands which disgusts me. I have seen a disgusting toilet though where the shit was on the seat, and obviously not flushed. Ew!
What I hate is when I am in a public toilet and it won’t flush down properly. I will stay in that toilet and keep flushing/waiting for water/flushing over and over until it goes down as the last thing I want is to come out of the cubicle and the next person in line looks at me in disgust if there is floaties. Haha.
# Tracey, 1 year, 1 month ago.
Poo is the great unifier, Meli, didn’t you know? ;)
Eina, I wish we had automatically flushing toilets around here. It’s quite impossible though :(
If I ever tried to flush a toilet with my foot Kycoo, I’d probably have an unfortunate moment of uncoordination and put my foot into the toilet bowl. Ew!
Bobbi-lee, I do that too! I’d be so embarrassed if I didn’t flush and someone was outside waiting!
# Amanda, 1 year, 1 month ago.
Argh, Eina I hate automatic flushers. They have them at my local shopping centre, and sometimes they flush while you’re still peeing (serious wtf?) and then once you’re done and actually want them to flush, they won’t go off. That pisses me off (ha,pun) so much.
# Sarai, 1 year, 1 month ago.
Gah, that bothers the hell out of me D:
# Belinda, 1 year, 1 month ago.
Auto flushers?!? That sounds terrible! What if you’re pooping? :S
And you do a good deed there Tracey! Usually i just back out!
# Rafia, 1 year, 1 month ago.
OMG… Did people not have momma or something? That is rule number one of “going to the potty.” I, and I presume other people, do not need to see that shit (har har).
But you know what also bothers me, when people use the toilet and don’t wash their hands. That would be rule number two!
# Nan, 1 year, 1 month ago.
Luckily I hardly ever run into a unflushed toilet but when I do I am disgusted. Mostly attending festivals and concert I hope that I won’t have to go more than necessary - when it’s not people’s own toilet it seems that it doesn’t matter to them.
# Retti, 1 year, 1 month ago.
The stupid Year 7s at our school throw fruit and biscuits into the toilet bowls. I hate them.
Why would you want to throw a banana/orange/packet of biscuits into the toilet in the first place?
I get annoyed when people don’t flush too. Dude.
# Jamie, 1 year, 1 month ago.
AMEN! I do the same thing as you and flush the toilet so other people won’t have to see the nastiness. There are some people that don’t wash their hands at all and when I see that, it makes me wash my hands harder and again because I find it so utterly disgusting!
# Emily, 1 year, 1 month ago.
The worst encounter I’ve had with public toilets was when there was menstrual blood all over the seat, crap floating in the bowl and a wet floor (most likely with urine). I felt so sick.
I honestly don’t know how people can be so dirty. It’s not their toilet, sure, but don’t they feel any embarrassment about how disgusting they are?
# Nanda, 1 year, 1 month ago.
I don’t understand how so many people can “forget” about something like flushing the toilet. It’s indeed something you should automatically do, just like washing your hands. But some people are just anti-social like that. And when it happens to them, they’ll be the people who complain the most. I don’t like people like that, and I don’t understand why they (seem to?) find it so hard to press a simple button.
# eric, 7 months, 1 week ago.
uh, this might sound a little paranoid, but I have long wondered who these people are that do not flush. The paranoid part is, I have never encountered a person who will admit to not flushing, although there must be many. Also, I have never actually witnessed another person leave a stall without flushing. The people I see, they all flush. So, who does it? When? Why do I never encounter them? I have no good theories, I just get creeped out about it.
I think someone should do a serious psychological study

This reminds me of when you go into a school bathroom and someone has had DIARHEA and pooped on the underside of the toilet and the ceiling. I say to my self Now how did that get up there
