Bathroom related poll

[Deleted]

I'm not talking about it public or at someone elses house. I mean when you are in your own home without company over.

[AAM2012]

If I know my husband is going right after me I'll just leave it.

[Deleted]

I don't think it's gross or anything but I almost always flush. I think it's just a force of habit. Also I have old industrial style toilets that never break.

[StJess80]

I do, but if there was an instance that I wouldn't, it would be in the middle of the night so I don't wake anyone.

[UMaineTeach]

I don't in the middle of the night or during wake-up/bedtime routine when both DH and I use it right after each other

add: in college the dorm bathrooms were plastered with stickers that said "save a fish; spare a flush" that some kids had stuck up. Thankfully no one followed them. Gross in a semi-public bathroom.

During the day, yes. At night, not always. Partially to be quiet, and partially b/c I have a weird thing about peeing at night. When I lay down, its like a UTI sets is and I have to tinkle every 10 minutes until I fall asleep. Literally tinkle. Not pee. Like 3 or 4 drops sometimes. And its seems like such a waste to flush for that.

[steph96]

I always flush unless it is in the middle of the night.

[GailGoldie]

during the day - i almost aways do... at night, i don't usually, unless it's smelly pee like from asparagus

[agnes]

H has specifically asked me to flush after I go pee, even in the middle of the night. I comply. If he's away, I go by if it's yellow let it mellow. But it doesn't get very yellow.

Other than that, I flush every time.

[Kore]

I can't see the poll on my phone, but we are 100% flushers. No sitting around.

I go through periods where I feel like that too. It's so annoying! It comes and goes though, thankfully.

My SIL and her family are let it mellow types and their bathroom *ALWAYS* stinks. Always. Even if she's just cleaned it it still smells like pee. They mellow it at other people's homes too, which is both gross and inconsiderate. I shouldn't have to tell a 12 year told to flush the toilet at my house, they should just know.

I spent all of the last Thanksgiving at my MIL's only using the bathroom after her or my H to ensure that I wouldn't have to deal with someone else's stinky pee. Yuck.

During the evening we usually let it sit. I work out at night and drink a lot of water so I pee a lot. I hate wasting all of that water flushing.

We never let it sit throughout the day. That would smell gross.

Me too! I get so annoyed at my body

This is me exactly. H thinks I'm crazy but I can't sleep unless I'm totally empty.

During the day if I'm home by myself I don't flush every time. I pee so many times it just seems like such a huge waste of water. I make sure it's flushed before anyone comes home though.

We'll flush unless it's the middle of the night. Our master bathroom "toilet room" shares a wall with our bedroom, so if we flush, we can hear it in the bedroom and it runs the risk of waking up the other. If I wake up in the middle of night, odds are I won't be able to fall asleep again, so DH either uses the guest bathroom or doesn't flush. I do the same, simply because I don't want to wake him.

Otherwise, yes, we flush after every use.

[belovedbride07]

Our* septic system has issues, so "let it mellow" is standard procedure in our house unless we have company.

*And by "our" I mean "our landlord's." He gladly sends a truck out to pump almost monthly, but it's such a pain to deal with that we do everything we can day-to-day to reduce our water usage.

[smiley]

I always flush. DH on the other hand does not always. I hate when I wake up in the morning to use the restroom and it stinks like pee.

[aspentosh]

If DH is going to pee within 10 minutes (I usually ask) then I let it sit. And then overnight. Otherwise I flush.

[chessie]

Depends really, we are going through a drought right now so water is being conserved, if you dont have to flush you don't, simple as that.

[ejpint]

Gross. Flush.

[drloretta]

We flush. DH sometimes doesn't, but I don't know his reasoning

My brother's family does the mellow yellow thing, but I didn't know. So I told their 4yo to flush at a family GTG and was jumped on for telling him that *sigh* It was our whole extended familly sharing a house, IMO he should have flushed dammit.

[countthestars]

We don't flush pee overnight because it wakes the other up.

[HoneySpider]

Yes, always. I didn't realize people don't.

[heliocentric]

We have a dual flush toilet. So we flush for pee, but it uses much less water than a full flush.

[whitepicketfence]

We always flush.

I would hope most would, but in extreme cases I can understand..some locations have a water watch.

I'm the opposite - if I know my husband is going right after me I make SURE to flush.

[Deleted]

I think it's totally gross to pee on top of someone else's pee. I get real freaked out that it's going to splash up on me.

[definitelyO]

I always flush as does DH. but DS doesn't always flush after peeing. he pees so often and so little that honestly, it doesn't make much sense to me to flush and it's not like you can even tell (the water isn't yellow or anything).
