Do you check the toilet?

**Bumperstump Cummerbund** · November 29th, 2012, 09:53 PM

This is probably my biggest pet peeve! When you use a toilet, do you check after flushing to make sure everything is ... pretty? It's so disgusting to go to use a toilet and apparently the person before hasn't flushed :/ Even worse is when someone uses our toilet at home and leaves it disgusting - seriously, what is so hard about double checking before you leave the room?!

Am I the only one who has a problem with this? Anyone have any tips on how to toilet train my brother in law?

I'm a checker! I hate walking in to see it unflushed or half flushed.

Yeah that. Particularly in the workplace as we all share one toilet.

Yep i check too too

Checker. My bro likes to leave a mess when he comes over and I always call him out on it. He's finally getting it lol

I'll start checking from now on.. *blush*

Definate checker! I used to be repulsed by people that used our work toilets!!!

Honestly we had someone stick a used pad to the wall one day and leave it there, WTF is wrong with people!!!

I check and will sort out mess 99% of the time. Sometimes I need to dash, but will only not check after urination rather than the other.

I think I was just sick a little bit... Ew.

I hate toilets in public where there's no brush. If I flush and see a skid mark, then I like to clean it up!

DH has no such philosophy

But at home I do tend to leave it if its yellow, like Arte!

Always check, always clean it up, always get p****ed with DF for leaving it for me to see. Gross.

Home I might be a little more lax, as others have said. But if out or at someone else's house I definitely check!

**Nai** · November 30th, 2012, 06:38 AM

At work, public loo or someone's house I will flush and check

At home we are water conscious and do the yellow let it mellow especially at night as the toilet is right next to the kids room and flushing wakes them. Although my kids have been know to be uber water conscious and they let everything mellow

I think my tolerance for other people's excrement has increased being a parent - it really doesn't bother me anymore. If I go somewhere and someone hasn't flushed I will just go in and flush it. Meh, no big deal.

**Floweryfields** · November 30th, 2012, 06:46 AM

Bit more water conscious here too. Sometimes let it mellow at home, but not if there are visitors here. Always check at work.....we have the occasional 'dripper' who leaves a drop on the seat!

**PumpkinZulu** · November 30th, 2012, 07:06 AM

At night we let it mellow, not only for the water, but because the bathroom is right next to DD's room and the loo wakes her up sometimes. We used to do it during the day as well, but since moving into our new place we flush each time because the toilet is a water saver one and has hardly any water in it, so it kind of needs it done. We clean with white vinegar and bicarb every day or two. I always check to make sure there aren't any skids, either from me or emptying DD's nappy (something we've only started probably 2 weeks ago) and just give it a quick brush if there's any evidence lol.

I always flush. And check. And wipe the toilet and bleach regularly. We have been saved many times from gastro passing through the house by my vigilance. And I have a morbid fear of gastro. I will not use a public toilet if its dirty. I'd rather hold on. And the smell of sitting urine makes me want to puke. I'm probably destroying the environment one flush at a time but my paranoia wins.

**Bumperstump Cummerbund** · November 30th, 2012, 08:25 AM

I'm sure I read once that there's actually a sewer problem here, because of all the water saving toilets, and there's not enough water to move everything through? Not sure if I wanna google it though
