No it doesn't. The coriolis effect only works on large scale bodies of water, i.e oceans lakes and rivers. It is probably the way the toilet or sink was made to make the water move in a different way. The coriolis effect DOES NOT work on small scale bodies of water i.e sinks drains and toilets.

No. The 'Coriolis Effect", as it is called, is no where near strong enough to cause the water in a toilet to flush in any direction. If the effect WAS that strong, you would loose your balance and fall over as it would affect the fluid in your ear where you get your balance. No matter what people THINK they may have learned on The Simpson's, it's a myth. Here's a much better and more detailed explanation: http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a1_161

I would say no.
It entirely depends on the direction the water is forced to turn.
Some would say it is caused by the Coriolis Effect; i.e. the rotation of the Earth. This is false.

yes I spent hours watching it spin in Australia, but as a good american I clogged it so no one else could watch the water spin
