What is he doing in there?

I work with a guy who flushes the toilet at least 3 times every time he makes dirt. Now I've heard of a courtsy flush, but this seems kind of extreem. What do you think he could be doing in there?

He's probably either having a wank or is using a courtesy flush (or three). A lot of people are pretty bashful poopers, and don't want anyone to hear them blowing ass when they are taking a dump.

Whatever the case may be, you probably don't want to know. If you do want to know, and are comfortable enough with the guy, just ask him about it.

Lol, why are you even paying so much attention to how many times the dude flushes? Is it just really loud or something?

Anyway, it's gotta be better than where I work--Coworkers of mine go in the bathroom to smoke, and there's like no ventilation in there at all. I'm just glad they don't go in there when they smoke pot--though it might add a little spice to the workday.

Hmmmm

That's right. I try to not crap around company, but it happens. If I know I'm fixing to "blow ass," I'll flush to try cover it up. It's not polite to "moose call" in company.

Of course, sometimes you need to flush a couple of times. Maybe he's trying to get rid of that stuff before the smell makes him pass out.

If this happens everyday around the same time, he might have an extremely well trained bowels, but chances are he's rubbing one out.

my guess....

getting in a few bumps... snorting some coke and he's paranoid so he flushes the toilet.

yes, the sound of a razor, chopping up a few lines on the back of a toilet, can be quite unnerving when you are trying to be discreet.-

What's He Building In There?
By Tom Waits

What's he building in there?
What the hell is he building
In there?
He has subscriptions to those
Magazines... He never
Waves when he goes by
He's hiding something from
The rest of us... He's all
To himself... I think I know
Why... He took down the
Tire swing from the Peppertree
He has no children of his
Own you see... He has no dog
And he has no friends and
His lawn is dying... and
What about all those packages
He sends. What's he building in there?
With that hook light
On the stairs. What's he building
In there... I'll tell you one thing
He's not building a playhouse for
The children. What's he building
In there?

Now what's that sound from under the door?
He's pounding nails into a
Hardwood floor... and I
Swear to god I heard someone
Moaning low... and I keep
Seeing the blue light of a
T.V. show...
He has a router
And a table saw... and you
Won't believe what Mr. Sticha saw
There's poison underneath the sink
Of course... But there's also
Enough formaldehyde to choke
A horse... What's he building
In there. What the hell is he
Building in there? I heard he
Has an ex-wife in some place
Called Mayors Income, Tennessee
And he used to have a
consulting business in Indonesia...
but what is he building in there?
What the hell is building in there?

He has no friends
But he gets a lot of mail
I'll bet he spent a little
Time in jail...
I heard he was up on the
Roof last night
Signaling with a flashlight
And what's that tune he's
Always whistling...
What's he building in there?
What's he building in there?

We have a right to know...

To clarify, this is not a large communal men's restroom. This is a bathroom with on toilet, it just happens to be closeby where I work at, so I can hear every flush.


FYI Since I have noticed this, a few weeks back he set the record for most flushes per visit. An astounding 9 flushes in one sitting.

Okay now I have been known to flush a few times, three to a maximum but not on a regular basis. Some things you just don't want to leave there, i.e. a big load of industrial # 2. A flush for the 2 and sometimes a flush for the tp. #3 might be for a clean up courtesy. But 9!? That is excessive.

Maybe he's used to using a low-flow toliet. My parents have one and when Im at their house it's necessary to flush multiple times or else there will be some clogging.

Maybe the toilets are not "powerful", so to speak? If I know there is not enough water pressure suction in a toilet I'm dumping in and I know it's going to be a big one, I will flush as the log breaches, again as it falls into the toilet, and thrice to finish it off. This gives me triple the suction...

PS: I have never stated, "gives me triple the suction" ever before, promise.

Yep, no splashback and also racing the flush. Also my dad does it so I guess I caught on. I don't do it everytime, though.

Maybe you can print up a sign that says "Two flushes only per visit" and then tape it to the wall/door facing the can. Then see (hear) if he does anything different. Or you can just ask him. That's probably the quickest and most awkward way.

Maybe he hates the sight, smell and sound of shit, so he flushes everytime he lets one drop. He usually cuts them in triplicate, but last time with the nine flushes, he either had to go a LOT, or had diarrhea.

I have to say that I'm a regular three flusher but that's only because I want to make damn sure it's all clean in the nether region. *shurg*...don't think three is a big deal given the low flow "Turlets" out there these days. Nothing worse than dropping a duece and having the whole mess get clogged in a low flow bowl.

My work has some strong toilets, definetley not low flow.
I just have a habit of using a bit too much toilet paper. It's a bit scat-ophobia I guess. I don't want it on my hands and I wanna make sure my ass is clean as can be so I end up using a huge wad of tp.

The only way I make sure I don't clog and create hassles for the janitorial staff is to flush multiple times. Minimum flush for me is 3, I usually go 4, sometimes 5.
Once for the deposit, once for the first three wipes or so and so on...
shrug.

My fiancee's parents have one toilet, low flow and very old. It's made for a hobbit as well. I go through agony on that thing worrying every time that I may clog. It has a two minute recharge time as well. So, I spend a lot of time just waiting around.
(I don't like to linger, no reading etc.)
