Warning: RANTY.
I think this is the most asinine practice in the history of human hygiene.
My current roommate does this and it drives me INSANE. (For anyone who doesn't know what I'm getting at, this is the practice of leaving your piss in the toilet, toilet paper and all, until you have 'solid' waste along with it. In other words, the rhyme finishes: "If it's brown, flush it down.") I mean, I think it's just disgusting and smelly and uncivilized. I cannot bring myself to pee (much less anything else) in a toilet that has someone else's hours-old piss in it. I can't. So I make it all moot anyway by flushing BEFORE I use it myself.
Now I know there's something to be said for conserving water. But doesn't putting a brick in the tank save just as much??? Why not do that, or get one of those low-water flush handles? And be careful about not leaving water running for no reason, i.e. when brushing your teeth? That kind of thing? We can be responsible and still maintain BASIC SANITARY PRACTICES, dammit.
I have two friends who are the most environmentally respectable people I know. They compost. They dry their clothes on a clothesline in the summer. They recycle above & beyond the call of duty. They worked on building a solar panel for their house for years. They even grow most of their own produce when their garden is going. And THEY still flush their @#&*!% TOILET!
Why, why, why must some people persist in this? It's like the worst of all possible legacies of the hippies. Makes me feel like Cartman.
Bleah. I feel better now.

That gets washed away right down the drain with hot soapy water.


She can certainly do whatever when she lives alone, for sure!

It makes you overlook certain character flaws and bad behavior .
