why don't people flush the toilet after using it? is taking #2 in public bathroom considered inconsiderate?

Question

why don't people flush the toilet after using it and what type of people are these? would you consider taking a number 2 (in a public bathroom, health club etc.) to be inconsiderate of others and perhaps you would wait until you arrive in the privacy of your own home. Also, why do old-timers like to hang around in locker rooms naked? thanks for your kind comments..

thanks to everybody that participated in this discussion. I know its hard for some people to respond to a question like this but its a very important issue to discuss. I especially liked dylan's answer. tx

Answer 1

1) I have no idea why people don't flush, but it seems like I see it every single time I use a public restroom. Hence avoiding it if possible.
2) I don't think its inconsiderate to do #2 in a public bathroom, if you gotta go, you gotta go. I think it is considered good manners to give a courtesy flush halfway through if it is a lengthy process. If dire circumstances forced me to #2 in a public restroom that is what I would do. Better than soiling myself.
3) It is not just old timers hanging out naked in the gym locker room, its EVERYONE. I personally don't want to have a conversation with anyone when I am naked in a locker room. I get in, get changed, and get out. There are lots of places to hang out and talk out in the gym itself.

4) I am more offended by people using their cell phones in the bathrooms and locker rooms. First of all, I don't want to have a conversation with you when you are doing your business in person, I certainly don't want to hear your grunts over the phone. Second of all, with cameras on every phone now, I get kind of freaked out when I see people sending txt messages in the gym. Not that I am so great that someone would snap a picture, but I would die if my naked butt showed up on the internet somewhere making fun of it !

:D LoL

Answer 2

Only rude people don't flush the toilet after using it, although sometimes public toilets in very old buildings may have little water supply; sometimes the tank isn't full yet and it won't flush properly. Then people try but if they don't stay around to check they may not see it hasn't flushed all the way... or they may be in a hurry and won't wait for it. But most restrooms flush fine, then it's only the people who don't bother and that's nasty.

I don't think it's inconsiderate to go '#2'! That's what restrooms are for, holding it up is very unhealthy. Maybe if you're on a brief shopping trip only, but many people leave the house in the morning and don't return until evening, that's really bad to hold it up that long.

Never seen those old-timers you're talking about, must be something about your neighborhood.

Answer 3

You will only get kind comments if you ask a kind question.
If you have to go #2 then, you cannot wait to go home. So to be considerate is out of the question. When you have to go you have to go wether its #1 or #2. No matter what age you are.

The reason why some people may not flush the toilet is because the toilet may be broken.

Answer 4

Possible answers to question #1: Well, maybe they weren't potty trained properly and weren't taught to flush after they go. Or maybe the person is proud of the "Lincoln Log" that emanated from his colon and wants to show it off the way a monkey shows off its butt.

Possible answer(s) to #2: "Is taking #2 in public bathroom considered inconsiderate?" Not as inconsiderate as doing it on the sidewalk.

Answer 5

I think this is 2 questions..first...people who don't flush after their *** has expoded means they have no manners...AND, as of late I am beginning to feel that dropping bombs IS in fact, inconsiderate, I feel that I would rather hold my bladder all day than use the bathrooms here at my place of employment..each and every time I walk in, someone is on the crapper dropping bombs and it is enough to make my eyes water...they are complete assholes....and it sickens me...

Answer 6

Maybe their afraid they'll plug-up the toilet. I can't figure on any other reason. But if they didn't feel comfortable with that they shouldn't use public facilities.

Answer 7

If you got to go, you don't have an option, and why would someone want to stick around in the bathroom anyway.

Answer 8

Man, I've been looking all day for a question like this! Now, I'm gonna tell you a little story that's gonna give you the 100% lowdown on who does this and why.

Contrary to what you may believe, those dudes out there that love to let one rip around their guy friends and like to brag about the log they laid last night and how it all came out in one piece, nice and curled up around the bowl and they took a picture of it, these people are innocent of the atrocity that you describe. They have no qualms about crapping in public. But believe it or not, there are a lot of guys out there who are deathly afraid of getting caught pooping in public.They are afraid of other people being in the bathroom and hearing and smelling the fruits of their labors.It's the ultimate embarrassment to them, like a phobia(you girls should get a kick out of this).So these are people who actually almost never, ever **** in public.

Almost never.

But that day does eventually come.

"Oh sure" they think, "i figure that if I eat at the same time every day, and go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day, I should **** at the same time every day. So I'll never have to **** at work because I never have to **** that time of day anyway." And they do the same thing every day before they go to work. The last thing they do before they leave the house: they take a big old dump, so now they're covered.

But eventually that day comes, no matter how hard they try to fend it off, it's gonna come.

Maybe they drank too much the night before. Or they ate beans, or something, and their routine gets out of whack. These people become masters of packing it in. Maybe the urge started to surface around noon that day. Then they're giving a presentation at one, and you're listening to it. You think they're giving a presentation, but they're not. They're thinking "4 more hours to go, 4 more hours to go". You see them at 2:30 making copies, they're thinking "2 1/2 more hours to go, god my *** hurts!". Sometimes they think " maybe if I take a piss, that'll relieve some of the pressure, and I can make it home." And some days they do.

But some days they don't.

So then what they do, when they finally start to realize that they are going to HAVE to **** at work, they play this little game. They hang around the bathroom, casually looking in and waiting until no one else is in there. Then it's a matter of speed. They rush in to the stall, sit down, and try to **** as fast as possible and get out before anybody else enters the bathroom. In fact, if they hear someone come in before they get anything out, you know what they do? They pack it back in again, and try to hold it in until they can hear that person leave, then continue. But that leaves a quandary, because sometimes that sound isn't really that person leaving, it's someone else coming in. See, so they think the coast is clear, so they start to **** and fart again, and then they hear footsteps, and they're like "oh, man, I thought the coast was clear!" and now they are really embarrassed, and now all they can do is wait until that person does leave so they won't know it was them that was taking the ****. Have I lost you yet? Anyway, there's more. The absolute worst is when they're trying to speed ****, someone comes in and goes into the stall right next to theirs. Immediately, they start packing it in again, if they can. So now they have a life or death choice to make: should they squeeze like hell, get it out and dash out of there before the other guy finishes and sees who they are? Or should they keep trying to pack it in and wait the other guy out?
But they usually don't pick the first option. They're not thinking rationally at this point because their *** is in so much pain that the pressure is starting to make them lose consciousness. Usually at this point they start thinking that if maybe they can control it they can let it out REAL SLOWLY, so their dookey won't make any splashing noises, and the gas won't rip outta there and make noise , just a light phfft... sound. Course it never works.

So now the guy in the other stall finally leaves. "Quick! Before anybody else comes in!" RRIPPP! SPLASH! BLOOP, BLOOP, BLOOP! ZOOM! out they go, their head still dizzy from packing it in for 4 hours

And they forget to flush


See, they're in such a hurry, and they squeeze it out so hard that they get light headed, and forget.

And no, it is not inconsiderate to **** in a public restroom. That's a childish notion. When you gotta go, you gotta go. That's what they are there for. People that think it is probably are the same ones who are deathly afraid to.
