The courtesy flush

[Cactus-Sack]

Maybe it's because I come from a country that actually has working plumbing, but I've never understood the concept of a courtesy flush. Any fatmeriburgers care to explain this phenomenon?

[BasedTom]

i've only heard of it in movies

communicating with other people- other men- while taking a shit sounds very gay to me

What's this?

I think we have different definitions of the phrase "courtesy flush."

I've always known it to be flushing a bowel movement immediately after its splash-down so as to limit the harshness of the smell at its root. It is normally done when forced to have a BM in a public restroom.

[Patrick Chewing]

Yeah I don't think you guys understand the concept.


A courtesy flush prevents your shit from just stewing there and causing everyone else in the bathroom to want to puke.

My ex-gf used to just sit there and let it stew and then I would walk in a few minutes later to an invisible wall of toxic gas.

My ex used to leave skid marks after taking a shit in my bathroom

Make absolutely no sense. The odorous gas comes from your asshole, not the feces. In fact, the vacuum created by flushing may in deed propel the gas from a localised area in the bowl, into the communal air having the opposite effect to what was intended

Like I said, I've only been exposed to it from tv and movies where it's one guy in a stall saying something like "Hey, let me get a courtesy flush!" or something like that. I kind of assumed it was something that happens there more than in real life- same thing with people reading newspapers while taking a shit

:whatever:

people's shit stinks

Have you ever put your face right close to your shit before?? Try that and take a whiff man.

[oh the horror]

Go take a shit on your living room floor and let it sit there and tell us where the smell is coming from.

You're literally saying your sh!t doesn't stink. :coleman:


Human feces might be the most hideous substance on planet earth.

[~primetime~]

What country do you live in Cactus-Sack? Where shit doesn't stink the actual people do?

Have you ever lived or driven past a rural area?

You can smell cow shit from inside your car with the windows rolled up

Is the person three stalls over putting their face close to your shit? no? Well then your point is invalid

No, I'm not. I'm saying that the offending odour is gaseous and thus flushing the toilet in an attempt to get rid of it is ineffective at best and wasteful at worst

Yes, but that is quite literally tons of manure used to fertilize farms. If you did a similar act with human feces, people would probably die... because our shit is toxic.


Have you ever be in the general area of human feces that wasn't in a toilet? It is instant vomit-inducing.

[Tarik One]

As another poster stated, it does practically nothing to minimize the stench.

My purpose for doing it is to prevent the water from splashing. That is such an uncomfortable feeling.

Put toilet paper in the bowl under where you estimate the landing zone to be

[~primetime~]

Of course flushing immediately vs. letting it just sit there minimizes the stench.

Why would anyone think otherwise?

That's what I'm saying. Am I living in crazy-land, here? If your dog takes a crap on the floor and you dispose of it, slowly the smell will go away. If you leave it there to ruminate, the smell will remain until it has dried.

The faster you eliminate feces, the faster the smell will go away.

It's science.

I grew up in an area commonly referred to as feedlot alley, I know that smell all too well. I find pig farms to be way worse though.

Been doing this for every single shit I've taken since I was like 6.

Some of my shits drop so hard water goes far up my asshole.

Read the damn thread.

Courtesy flushing is pointless

[L.Kizzle]

If I go into a stall, and I see it is not flushed I'm not going to flush. I'm just going to piss in an already pissed up toilet or go into another stall.

I don't want someone else random ass particles flying all in the air around me once I flush.

[iamgine]

Courtesy flush works. It has been tested again and again to reduce the time and intensity of sh!t smell lingering in the toilet and its immediate surrounding.

If you don't believe it, it's pretty easy to test.

:roll:

I do it at work and friends houses. Who wants to walk out of a stall to find their boss making a weird face because you stunk up the bathroom?

I would like to see evidence of this. I know that there in fact have been many studies on flushing the toilet with an open lid and it has been proven that doing so showers the entire room in fecal bacteria. Very discourteous.

What's better, a marginal if existent improvement on odour, or not being covered in shit...?

What the hell kind of antiquated toilet do you have? It somehow manages to "shower your entire room" in fecal matter? :oldlol:

Just accept the fact that y'all are being gross and not changing the smell and stop ding it

The smell improvement can be massive. If you don't believe it, pretty easy to test it yourself at home.

On courtesy flush your butt would still be covering the toilet thus your scenario doesn't happen.

So then the fecal matter is splashed on me, instead f the room, which still gets showered in it through the gap...

Might be worth the massive smell improvement. After all, no one ever gets sick from "toilet spraying fecal matter everywhere".

What a weird and awkward thing to say...cactus is wrong, but man pat :facepalm


Tighten up and stop sniffing poo to get high.

Dude's overly dramatic about this whole pooing thing :oldlol:
