It’s night, and you’ve just peed in the toilet, but there’s a problem, the toilet cistern is not full, and it’s too late to wait, what are you going to do and for what reasons?
-
Wait until tomorrow for the cistern to fill so you can get rid of the urine.
-
Pour water from the cistern, even knowing that it is not enough to get rid of urine.
wtf
I am going to see if I can fix it because I am already up and I will just have to deal with it until I fix it.
If I can’t fix it in 2 minutes I will grab a bucket of water and pour it in the bowl to flush it.
Lift up the lid on the tank. Push down the float. If it still won’t fill, fill the tank with water from the sink or shower, then flush normally.
Let it be and deal with it later.
Why is the toilet cistern not filling? Is 3 AM a high traffic period for your home toilet?
People flush every time they pee?
…some people don’t?
Why would I? Seems wasteful. I only flush every third time or so, unless I shit.
Why would I?
To keep your toilet cleaner and your bathroom smelling fresher. And to reduce splashback of urine when sitting.
The first two points aren’t really worth the wasted water because if you drink enough water your urine shouldn’t smell that strong.
And I’m not sure why urine would splash on me when I’m sitting? I always sit, and afaik I’ve never gotten urine on me lol like what
Dropping poop sometimes creates splashes
This may blow your mind, but it’s also possible to flush before shitting if this is a real concern. You’ll still save a lot more water than you would by flushing urine every single time.
I don’t really care what you do, though. I just don’t think there’s any real reason to be so extravagantly wasteful when your watered-down urine in the toilet doesn’t even create a smell.
Then you’re doubling your flushes for your poops. I’m sure there’s some formula for this that could be worked out, lol
Reason number 3 is that something dropped in the toilet is less unpleasant to retrieve from a flushed toilet. Forgot that one earlier.
As well, it might be creating a smell that you’ve gone nose-blind to. Like a person’s own BO. Others can smell it long before the “owner” can.
Flushing after every use also creates a habit so that one never forgets to flush after using someone else’s toilet or a public one.
It’s just number 1, nobody will notice it. At 3AM I still have to catch extra 6 hours of sleep in less than 1 hour.
If it’s brown flush it down,
If it’s yellow let it mellow.
#cottagelifeWe had this taught to us in school due to a drought. Quite a funny scene seeing a super serious teacher saying that in front of 850 teenage boys.
So really foamy diarrhea should mellow?
Depends on your flush mechanism.
If you have an Australia/NZ system just pour a jug of water into the bowl and it will flush out the pee.
If you have a US/Canada system, repent.
I’m so curious as to why you think us/canadian toilets don’t flush if you pour water into the bowl…
It’s a reference to the siphonic system versus washdown system.
Ok, but siphonic systems still flush just fine if you pour water into them…? I’ve been doing it my whole life. Like even if you just pour water from a pitcher at a normal rate it’ll eventually hit a pressure point and flush itself (assuming there’s no clog). If you do it from more than a foot above the bowl it flushes basically instantly.
You can take a pot of water from the kitchen and pour it into the toilet. Same principle. Also why is the toilet paper flat?
