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?

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.

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.

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

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.


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
