having a septic tank back up on you is much much worse than having someone leave a log or pee in the toilet. what it means is that someones going to have to go and get it unblocked. ive been to countries where ive had to put toilet paper in bins instead of down the toilet. its not something i like doing, but id hate to be the one to block the damn thing and have to be the one to unclog it.

..and no you cant unclog it with a plunger.

i wonder how anonymous went with his GF

I'm pretty sure toilets weren't meant to be flushed once they start filling up. Point being, if my boyfriend's 6 year old son can learn to flush after each use, then I'm certain your girlfriend can too. There's a fine line between habitually forgetting and plain laziness. Ew!

First post. Yay me! lol Nice to meet you all. :-)

Grancey

Totally agree with you Ellie, and nice to meet you too. Welcome to TFP.

If you're a guy, there is no reason for you to urinate in a toilet whatsoever. Just piss in Gatorade bottles and pour them down the kitchen drain. For extra points, wash and reuse the Gatorade bottle for water at the gym. Or just drink your own urine like Bear Grylls and save on that tofu 'n sprouts soap.

...

My initial thought? Wow, you mofos are nasty.

Maybe it's wasteful, but I also change my underwear and socks every day. Something about "letting it mellow" just seems like white trash deluxe. Disgusting. If you're living with me or a guest at my place, you better flush the goddamn toilet. If so you're environmentally friendly that it kills you to waste water, consider other aspects of your life that are wasteful, too. And keep your bleeding heart and urine-hoarding urges out of my bathrooms.

Come over to my place after eating a plate of asparagus and leave that radioactive piss in my toilet? You best check yourself.

I didn't bother to read the other responses, gettin ready to go to bed, so I just wanted to let you know that a lot of women do this, and I think it's pretty common. Not only does my current babies mama of 10 years do this exact thing, and only after she pees, I have had several girlfriends of past that were the same way. Not all of them, by far, but maybe 1/4 of them. I have never really even gave it a second thought, it never bothered me. If she starts droppin bombs in there and leavin those for you to find... that would probably gross me out... but I have had many girls pee on me, so seeing pee in the toilet doesn't irk me.

dlish

not sure about the states, but in australia, the bathroom and laundry water water is considered 'grey water' and is separate to kitchen water. so it wouldnt be wise to do flush down urine in the kitchen sink in oz. i guess it gets treated differently at the plant. im assuming it has something to do with the phosphrous in the detergents.

I'm being a jerkoff, Dlish. Where I'm staying at right now is mostly gray water. Potable water comes out of bottles.

Thanks Grancey!

Once I find that intro thread, I'll do a proper introduction. But I couldn't resist not replying to this thread lol.

You see "white trash deluxe", I see dirty hippie. Makes me want to get some old-school Chicago cops to put on their baby blue riot helmets and teach basic hygene.

Then I can't be bothered to read past this.

Here ya go!

Hopefully you don't think that I'm a complete douche. Only partial.

/off topic

Our nephew visited for several nights this week. He's 10. Our kids take showers in the bathroom he used as well. Every night I went in there, the toilet seat was up and the water was yellow. I plan to have a discussion with his dad.

I suppose that I kind-of, sort-of get it with the "let it mellow" mentality if the toilet in question is in a desert. But barring that, learn to flush.

insane.

the author of that article is an idiot. just another boring reactionary without much insight.





my and my roommate let it mellow
because who cares it's just piss.
better than flushing the toilet 6 times a day.
maybe fresh dark morning piss, sure, but like, taking a leak at lunch who cares. if you drink enough beer throughout the day it doesn't matter.

if there were girls coming around i'd flush

Plan9

Why? Because they'd think it's gross? Ha. How many condoms do you let float in the toilet before you flush it, Tyler?

...

Also: Any TFPers that posted as non-flushers will be forced to piss on the grass outside when they visit my place. Ya know, to save water.

I do believe that in the previous generations there was a lot of emphasis on conservation at times, and children were raised to not flush if the toilet has ONLY been peed in ONCE. I know my mother was raised that way, though she didn't raise us that way when I would go to my gma's as a kid she would tell us to do the samething, I'm sure others did have this passed on. I think sometimes when my babies mama does it, it might be because it's the middle of the night and she doesn't want to make noise in the bathroom which is right off the master bedroom, but she does it during the day also, so I'm not certain the reason, lol, I have never really had an issue with it

Plan9

Wait, are piss-filled toilets part of what Jerry Springer refers to as "baby mama drama?"

Man, I'm so out of the loop these days.

Those of you that prefer the non-flushing lifestyle - When you use a public restroom do you flush? All this time I thought that the toilets were malfunctioning. I had no idea that so many people did not flush. Damn.

Hey, I may leave a little lemon yellow in the toilet from time to time, but at least I don't watch Jerry Springer!

Tusko

yeah basically. clean up when girls are around. flush your piss, throw out your jizz rags

not because it's gross or unclean, but because girls are illogical and unable to understand things outside of the immediate/emotional

amonkie

I take affront this comment, Tusko - It's really hard to take someone's posting seriously when they make grossly incorrect generalizations about either gender.


I can go either way on this. My apartment building has industrial toilets that probably flush 10 times as much water as a regular household toilet. When you compare water conservation on that scale, it does build an argument for being selective with water.

That being said.. I have my own personal preferences and that is that the toilet is flushed, every time. i was brought up that you always leave everything cleaner than you found it, that goes for both the water and the toilet bowl itself.

Bathroom habits versus water conservation? OP asked about how to deal with his soon-to-be live-in. Nobody's addressed that for umpteen posts. I'm getting the idea none of us were potty-trained well enough.
Why I was reading this, I'm just gonna flush.
Don't hate me 'cuz he's beautiful.

I disagree... we are discussing these things to maybe help him understand the why of what she is doing, and help him make the decision of how much of a problem it is and maybe how to approach a resolution. I guess instead we could all just give the default answer of: If it bothers you, you should certainly talk to her about it before she moves in, or it just might ruin your relationship and she will be moving out pretty quickly.

Ourcrazymodern?

Comfort. Thanks, Crimson.

it just dawned on me that what this tells me is that the OP'ers girlfriend is dehydrated.

if she drank enough water, her urine should be clear and he wouldnt have this problem.

She could be taking vitamins, dlish. That can turn it yellow, especially early morning. And most women (around here anyway) use paper each time even though boys don't have to. That would be a tale tale sign.

Toilet paper's pricey.
Drip dry ftw.

The hoohahs didn't have toilet paper for thousands of years. Drip dried just fine.

For DIY-men this would be a challenge - there are public toilets, that will flush themselves, when you leave and close the door.

I've saved more water over the last four months than all of you hippie fucks. I crap in a bucket.

And like our boy Maddox used to say, "For every [toilet you don't flush], I'm going to [flush three]!"

Wtf, why not just flush it? It's not like she peed all over the handle. Look, I wont pee in other peoples pee, i dont even know why but... it's a toilet. People crap in it, alot. Just flush the thing, its not like your planning to serve little grapes and cheese snacks out of it.

If it really is something you cant get over, then confront it, but I'd be remissed if i didnt point out that if you determine your love based on whether someone flushes in the night, your not that in love. Dont ever go camping or to a concert you'll probably die.
