Flush the toilet after you!

    I am gobsmacked by the amount of grown men at my job who simply do not flush the toilet after themselves. I work in an office environment with professionals coming and going all day in a multibillion dollar company. Almost everytime I go in I have to do it myself.

    What is wrong with these people? Are they expecting mammy to come in a flush it for them? It is absolutely disgusting.

    And I'm sure I'm not the only one here to experience this.

    Eugh that's terrible, I've never had any problems where I work, apart from the odd skid-mark which i suppose is to be expected


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 648 ✭✭✭Neo#


    Nah its far too much effort:D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,931 ✭✭✭togster


    Why do it when women do it for us??;)

    ah the phantom sh1tter... every office has one.

    As a sociology student,I understand that the practice is a left over from eras when the male marked his territory by dumping on its perimeters.

    it carries over into the office hierarchy.

    I mean if the financial controller takes a thick prizewinning dump in the bog,he is going to leave it there in case some director comes across it and mutters"Jaysus I'm not messin with that guy,if he can drop a shít like that he's dangerous"

    Then when he has pipebuster fermenting in the gut,he will adopt the same tactics.

    It's all simple when you analyse it son.

    I've just got a nice one brewing now actually.

    I'll give it an hour, then pop in to the stalls.

    I won't even wipe, just leave the log there in all it's glory.

    Far too much toilet talk on here these days.

    I think to leave it there (intentionally) is one the most disgusting and lazy things you could ever do. Would you like to want into a cubicle and be greeted with a massive floating 'vessel'.

    Its rank, seriously. Its one pull of handle / push of a button.

    I was in the states earlier in the summer, most of their toilets are automatic flush. It eliminates this problem completely.

    May I suggest for max effect, use the "reverse iceberg theory", 9/10ths out of the water 1/10 in.

    Just angle the ring so the first contact is with the pewter,and the gentle slide should let the growler achieve the desired configuration.

    this thread is hilarious. it really made my morning

    The other way to acheive this is to fill the water with toilet paper first, and then it should just perch on top

    do a South Park and take a dump in a urinal


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 41,926 ✭✭✭✭_blank_


    Or even better, the sink.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 941 ✭✭✭blah


    If it's yellow let it mellow, if it's brown, flush it down!

    I prefer: if it's brown flush it down, if it's yellow leave it for the next fellow


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 41,926 ✭✭✭✭_blank_


    What?

    Nothing worse than if you go into the cubicle, bursting for a shíte, and the water is yellow. You don't have time to flush, because you left it brewing for too long. The splash from the water :eek:

    Bastards who leave the water yellow are worse than those who leave a log imo.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,040 ✭✭✭BrianD3


    Maybe they did flush? Sometimes after (or before) flushing a log can lurk "around the bend". Looks to be gone but reappears a while later.

    in the business, we call those 'sneaky bastards'

    I also work in an office environment (Finance related), and I've seen things in the toilets that have made me gag. There are also people who stick their snots to the cubicle walls.

    Still the company is on top of it all. They blame 'outsiders': couriers and other miscreants from the floors above and below us, who sneak in and drop their subversive excrement on our hallowed bowls. Funnily enough even numerous changes of the security code on the toilet door hasn't stopped them getting in - they must pick the lock :confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,766 ✭✭✭Reku


    Some of the people in my place can't figure out the flush mechanism either. Just a slight nuisance to have to flush when you enter the cubicle though.

    Ye think it's bad having people leave "presents" in the office? Try having it at home... There's two lads who live upstairs, 1 of them apparently is afraid of the flusher or something...

    When i find out who it is *shake fist in fury*

    Also, on the whole topic, as Billy Connolly says
    There is nothing worse than going into a toilet, locking the door, turning around and finding that there's a wee jobbie there, somebody elses...

    (Bizarrely i just listened to a sketch with that in it, not 20 minutes ago...)

    Or wet seats when you need to lay a yard of cable. Hate that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 68,173 ✭✭✭✭seamus


    I never noticed it as a massive problem in my place, but they felt the need to put a sign on every cubicle door saying, "Please flush the toilet before you leave, and do not leave toilet paper lying on the floor", so someone seemed to think it was a problem.

    Those American Shítters with the water trough up so high the nads are immersed are awkward.

    I went into one in Milwaukee once,and there was this growler like a burst tractor tyre gently bobbing just under the rim.

    Why the fook do they need so much water???


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,453 ✭✭✭bugler


    ...are you sure the toilet wasn't just blocked?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,575 ✭✭✭✭FlutterinBantam


    Well this one could have been with the girth of "Meatloafs Daughter" floating in its depths,but generally the North American privvy tends to have much more visible water and higher up the pan.

    When you go for a tonkeroo it can be like a holt of otters jumping into a river .

    Splash back is very common with an unrestrained exit.

    Yea, all those American toilets are headwrecking. When I was in New York for 2 weeks everytime I went for a shíte I always had to grab me balls to stop them from getting soaked!

    I've never had a problem with anyone not flushing the loo here at work but someone has seriously got a bad case of the green apple splatters, the rim of one toilet is destroyed!! Like rust on a saucepan!

    The high water level in american toilets is something I couldnt really understand myself.

    The thing that actually makes me laugh is the amount of names/phrases/slang words that people use for have a sh1t (even just in this thread!). There are hundreds of em!!!

    The flushing characteristics seem different too.

    When you drop a particularly strung out Brad into the bowl and flush,the whole

    contents seems to suddeny surge up and threatens the rim,then she subsides

    and reluctantly and slowly exits the premises.

    Very offputting for the first few Brads.
