To the people who don't flush the toilet in public bathrooms, why?


  1. I forgot to flush a toilet yesterday. I'm sorry. All of the toilets at my workplace are automated and I almost always shit at work. So I went out to a restaurant last night, went to the bathroom, washed my hands, and left. I was tired. It was late. I was on autopilot. It was only after I left that I realized what I'd done. I turned and went back, but when I entered the bathroom, someone was already in there, and it got awkward, so I just left. Sorry you had to see my shit, OP.

  3. I also particularly hate the ones who piss in the toilet bowl but don't bother to clean up what missed.

  4. A friend of mine intentionally never flushes in public bathrooms. After going to the bathroom after him a few times, I asked him why. He calls what's left in the toilet his "nest," and says it's a way to see if anyone has used that stall after him. So if he goes to a stall and sees his own "nest," he knows the stall has been unused since his last visit, and he doesn't have to clean the seat before going again. I guess some people just want to watch the world burn.

  6. When I was little I used to hate the loud noise from flushing public toilets. I still did it, though, because I'm not an animal.

  7. This is a tad bit off topic, but still related. I work at a grocery store, and two weeks ago all of the toilets in the 5 bathrooms at the store were backed up. Every single toilet had shit in it, which is gross enough on its own. However someone decided to up the gross factor by shitting on the FLOOR. Thankfully I didn't witness this atrocity myself, but when my co-worker told me the following day, I was thoroughly disgusted. I honestly don't understand why people feel the need to do stuff like this.
