Do u flush all the time?

No flushing after 10 pm. Hey, you can still go, but don't flush. This rule works for family and guests. No one has ever left a nasty gift in the morning.

Probably because they flushed and you just didn't hear it.
 
Hey, unfortunately I think I've been in a few restrooms after some of you folks !!!
 
I really don't care if you flush or not, but PLEASE WASH YOUR HANDS after using the toilet!

Only one hand per flush, please....No need for towels...."Just wave your hand in the air like, u just don't care"..... huh;; That should be a song
 
Great Thread!

It's true, the collective wisdom of TUGgers is THE best anywhere! Ask anything (except what the mods censor). Look at the number of responses!

Agreed if it was a small-ish pale tinkle, not a darker #1 that's been stored up all day and is icky looking or smelly.

We don't flush at night due to noise unless we do a #2.

Same here.

Rose Pink said:
We have a dual flush. Even with the full flush, I often have to flush twice to get the bowl to empty. Seems there is a backwash.

Backwash? BACKwash? Is your potty also a bidet and that washes people's backsides LOL?

OMG, the first time I used an overhead toilet in Europe I pulled the chain and all of a sudden panicked that the water was going to come down over my head and jumped away!

As for the toilet lids & seats, they belong up! Be proud of your thrown! Do you put covers over your sinks too when you aren't using them? Why would you put a cover over your toilet if not your sink?

Uhhhh.....Ride.....are you being proud of your throne? Or of what you have thrown? hee hee hee

Great thread! We can find just about ANYTHING on TUG!

Or this popular Toilet Cleaner's Anthem, by Beyonce: "If you like it then you shoulda put a ring on it..."

Another Take

GF who had a couple brothers and is quite familar with male homo sapiens suggestred following.

Bathrooms have night lights

Like some public "heads", Navy jargon, post a sign: WE AIM TO PLEASE, WILL YOU AIM TOO AND PLEASE FLUSH

I have noted at public facilities they sometimes have "flys" painted on fixtures. So, one is challenged to "shoot" the fly while responding to mother nature!
 
What is the toilet etiquette when as a guest using the toilet you leave an aroma or the toilet backs up ?

Or what if there is no paper ?

:D:D:D
 
easyrider,
Lighting a match helps with the odor but I don't carry them with me. Maybe we should all carry a matchbook. Could come in handy. ;)

I always look to be sure there is toilet paper before I go. If there isn't any--or enough--I would ask or just look to see if there is an extra roll in plain sight. I wouldn't go through cabinets, though. I would ask. If you failed to do this and find yourself in an uncomfortable predicament, you could always holler for help.

When traveling, I make sure to have extra tissues and wet wipes in my purse for just those occasions. They came in very handy for public restrooms in Italy.

And, intermittent flushing helps to prevent clogging so if you find yourself in the process of an epic elimination, flush part way through. Then again when you are finished. If the toilet backs up anyway, look for the plunger.

You know what i realized after one really drunk night last year? If i squat like a girl when i pee and don't flush.....I don't actually touch anything that requires a need to wash my hands!

Frequent hand washing helps to cut down on the transmission of pathogens such as the the cold and flu viruses. It is a good idea to wash hands throughout the day. Even though you may feel you didn't soil your hands after a potty break, it is still a good time to wash hands anyway just for general sanitation precautions.
 
This has been an interesting thread, and I am surprised at the level of detail it has gone into. However, if it gets to the point of talking about the color and consistency of what gets flushed down, I think I will avoid further updates. :D

I thought one of the most interesting posts was about 'letting it mellow- except after eating asparagus'. Couldn't agree more. Just a spear or two will clear the room. Flush! And wash. Please.

Sometimes seen in women's public restrooms:

If you dribble when you piddle, please be neat and wipe the seat
or
If you sprinkle when you tinkle, please be neat and wipe the seat


Need to update these for gentlemen, referring to wiping the rim or even the floor.....

Let's see,

Don't be a bore, please wipe the floor? Nah, boring

Attention, Ahem, Please wipe the rim?

Suggestions?
 
And as to aromas and or supplies, there should be a vent fan, and I check the under-sink cabinet for extra rolls.

Hey, pigs are very clean animals by nature. The pet potbellied pig we used to have (hence, the user name) took a shower almost every day! (Probably TMI, I know...)

seat-pee'ers, scourge of our time in this daily of Toilet Seat Covers. how can there STILL be pee on the seat???!!!

Hover if you want in unfamiliar turf but please clean up. Someone's grandma may be sitting there next.

no flushing after 10 pm?? I have an old house and loud pipes but am a-ok with flushing at whatever time of day or night it needs to be done.
 
A few years back in Mexico, a friend of mine developed the "revenge" that hit him suddenly. It was a very fierce revenge and to make maters worse, for him anyway, we had been drinking for a bit.

The timeshare had two bathrooms and he chose the closest one to the action and as a result we could hear all the action. He was really ripping one out which made all of us laugh for reason unclear now.

Long story short he got a new cool nick name... ripper. :D
 
How about those toilets in other parts of the World

I have only heard the stories.. Those fixtures that are horizontal and you basically squat over them.

Back in my USAF days they called them Bomb sights.

A quick google search located a nice photo.

Here is an article as well. Some of you fine travelers have surely encountered these elegant bathrooms.

Yes, I used them in Italy. Were not even in the family's apartment, but outside down the walkway, behind doors of course.. Maybe each apt. had its own? Can't remember.

Oh yeah. Wait til you REALLY have to go and all there is is a room with about a half dozen of these beauts. No stalls. No paper. A line of Chinese waiting. A good laugh.... Many were 'American Standard' brand.

I wish I'd taken a picture of one in China. A sign in a stall with a 'Western' toilet showing a person squatting but with their feet on the porcelain sides of the toilet- and a circle with a slash through it. As in 'don't squat on the western toilet'.
