The Courtesy Flush- whats your policy?

[frapjap]

Personally, I don't bother with a "courtesy flush" unless I have some unfortunate rumbly tummy that makes me a leaky faucet at the rump- and even then, its to make more room in the bowl.

How about you guys and gals? Whats your take? Does it depend on where you're taking said bowel movement? Who you're around? The time of year? If you can't stand the stench yourself?

For me it depends mostly on who's nearby. For example, If its at home, and my wife is home or if we have guests, I'll absolutely courtesy flush. And If I'm visiting friends, I'll always courtesy flush, because it's not polite to cause their wallpaper to melt from my swamp gas. But if I'm travelling or at a hotel and use a public restroom, it's enter at your own risk and don't light a match...

you would get murdered in jail.

i courtesy flush anywhere that isn't my, or my parents', house. then again, i rarely s*** in any other place. but when i do, i courtesy flush.

Had an extended argument with an ex-GF about this very subject.

She was convinced that flushing the toilet makes the odor go away. I couldn't help explaining to her that a "courtesy flush" does no such thing, and laying out the elementary science behind this fact. She was unswayed.

Dumb girl was dumb.

[themadscientist]

Should have gave her a swirly.

Well you shoual always flush after you crap. Otherwise if it sits, it has the sort of skin that breaks when you piss in it, That unleashes the very foulest smell thats worse than fresh.

If its yellow let it mellow, if its brown flush it down. I also hate people that flush before and after they even piss. Its an annoying waste of water.

[AZhitman]

Well, that goes without saying. If you don't flush, there's something seriously wrong with you.

I'm just saying, flushing in mid-poo is stupid (unless it's to drown out the sound of a particularly violent Code Brown).

[numbnuts240]

flushing a turd after it's dropped from your bum diminishes the smell from said turd. it's a fact.

those creeps that need to flush just to urinate are weird.

[AZhitman]

If that turd is underwater, how's the smell get into the air?

And if there's stank in the air, flushing doesn't suck the gases out of the room.

But yeah - if you can't whizz without the sound of rushing water, you don't really have to whizz.

[Dattebayo]

Just because a turd is in water doesn't mean it won't continue to release stink into the air. There are plenty of semi-solid substances that still stink even tho they've been diluted.
But no, the vacuum of the flush action doesn't suck up any gas or anything in a measurable, noticeable amount. The stink goes away because the turd no longer has contact with said water in the bowl anymore.

Does this really have to be explained? I guess I'm a poo scientist or something?

[AZhitman]

Just because a turd is in water doesn't mean it won't continue to release stink into the air.

Not enough to matter.

According to "The Poop Report" (Your #1 Source for #2):

"...the courtesy flush is an urban legend and should cease wasting precious water by propagating this nonsense...

...when poop is released, the bulk of the odor is emitted at the opening of a bunghole and while it is in the air, enroute to the water below. The turd in the toilet water emits minimal odor. What is out is out, and flushing doesn't pull in enough air to rid the space of poop-stench.

The courtesy-flush is, in essence, a mere "statement" to people who might be in adjacent stalls or awaiting your departure."

Sometimes it keeps coming out and piles up above the water and really starts to stink it up.

HA. I know a few women that do that, and they it to stop others from them doing a perfectly normal bodily function. I find that a waste of water too. So to counteract, I'll take a dump next while humming the 1812 overture with well timed farts.

This is assuming a lot, in fact, it assumes that your poop is in one piece and isn't broken up all floating on the surface. All you imperfect poopers out there should know that it still stinks a lot when laying in the bowl. Sorry, Greg, you might have to lay off the fiber and vegetables for a few days to get like the rest of us.

[TTkickedin]

LOL i dont courtesy flush to drown out the smell. I courtesy flush when i'm at work with some serious bubble guts, it sounds like a 72 car pileup on those days.

And I laughed so hard when the person in the stall next to me blew up the toilet one time, I just couldn't hold it in. LOUDEST s*** EVER

[Encryptshun]

I don't courtesy flush because I don't want splashback.

[Jesda]

As someone who has pooped outside a few times (I'm not into camping, don't ask how/why), I can verify that water submersion alone makes a WORLD OF DIFFERENCE and any additional flushing doesn't make a difference.

God, there is nothing more foul to the nose than human poop fully exposed to the air.

Would you be suprised if you were wrong about that?

There is NOTHING. and I MEAN NOTHING. more foul to the nose... Than throw up on the bus.
on a hot day nonetheless.

[allenms240]

I only flush when I'm done, or I feel that the bowl is getting kinda full.

I try not to go in public restrooms, but when you gotta go, you gotta go.

[93coupe]

I don't think a courtesy flush is necessary unless you leave bloody toilet paper in the bowl for the next person to find, Ray.
