The courtesy flush

[Cactus-Sack]

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


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

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

[RedBlackAttack]

Have you ever lived or driven past a rural area?

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

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.

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

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.

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.

[Jailblazers7]

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

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...?
