Conserving water.

I have met many people who claim to conserve water. Sort showers, dont flush toilets ofet if only doing a number one , etc . I used to conserve it myself.

Then I realized all these peoples houses smelled of p1ss whenever I was in them.
They also all had BO.

When I made the connection I had the terrible thought that maybe my of lack of flushing and quick showers made myself and my house smell too. We thought we had good levels of cleanliness, but you know, you cant smell your own living conditions or BO.

So I asked my best friend and he said, "well I didnt want to say, but yes, there is a strong smell of piss in your house all the time". He didnt admit that I had BO, but I suspect he was lying there.

So know I have a long shower and scrub hard and long. And no yellow water gets left in our toilets now. Flush, and flush some more.

So folks, by all means conserve water. It is a noble thing to do.
But please dont sit near me or invite me to your house, even if YOU cant smell it, or your friends dont have the heart to tell you.

In an extreme situation it's ok, eg. water supply shortages, but personally I think that's taking it a bit too far. I was invited to stay at a place that has this motto and I had to refuse. I didn't tell them, but it was because of the toilet situation. I mean, if I don't flush, everyone gets to see my urine. If I do flush, everyone knows I was pooing. Plus the hygiene considerations. Firstly splashes, which will be of multiple people's stagnant urine. Secondly, the smell, which is totally withstandable in a festival or temporary situation, but which is certainly not something you want to smell in your house on a daily basis.

Put a brick in your cistern, or occasionally flush with rainwater, but leaving urine to "mellow" in your bathroom is just unnecessary.

Problem is you cant smell it in your own house. You get used to the smell. Only visitors can smell it.
Its like someone with BO cant smell it themselves, but by god others can smell it.
Never thought of the plop and splash ... ick

On the bright side though. At least your friends can tell you are conserving water - by the smell in your house

If your house wreaks of pee because you miss every other flush I'd go see a doctor. Or lay off the asparagus.

You wont know your own house wreaks of pee, so it wont have any effect on you. Just on your visitors.
Must be a lot of non flushers I visit eating too much asparagus from what i can see smell.

I still use the traditional Polish style loo built over the ditch on the boundary of my land. Hence my handle ~ shortened from " Ditch shitter "

And tissue paper goes into a paper bag. When that's full, I set light to it.

blast everything with piss!

Except in cases where there are actual water shortages i.e. announced by the Government there is no need for any of this.
