The most frightening part of this thread for me is the reminder that I've been posting here since before 2006. Eesh.

Three forth of the world is covered with water and no-one has come up with a desalination method that won't cost half the earth's gold?:rolleyes:

Just a PS: to Jesse's post. My cousin lives in one of those luxury townhome complexes. All units were installed with tankless toilets to conserve water. You have to flush them three of four time to get rid of the doodoo and paper and twice to clear out the weewee. Another winner for the conservationists.:rolleyes:

My fave is all the water restrictions, every year, where towns say "we're in a drought!" HOw can EVERY year be a drought? I'm DYING to see the signs go up this year, considering we had the most rainfall in history, and severe flooding for the past month.

I also conserve by not showering every single day (a very strange but typical wasteful American practice)

Maybe for the office dwellers, that would be acceptable....not in the rest of the working world, and for the same reasons that we courtesy flush.

Where's Al Bundy? I'd like his thoughts on this one.

I waste as many natural resources as possible. I figure I only have about 35 yrs or so to go; so eff the rest of you. I have an awesome, water-wasting shower head I found on the internet, it's truly a man-shower, water table destroying piece of artwork. It's like showering under a firehouse. I LOVE that shower head, blame Vegas for spoiling me.

All I can picture is the shower head Kramer got in the episode of Seinfeld. It was like, an elephant shower head or something.

See, this here is precisely why I am a part of this forum! The scintillating subject matter & the things I learn keep me coming back for more!

I never knew about the "courtesy flush!" But now that I do, my life - & the lives of those around me - will be forever changed!

Thanks CP!!!

Be sure to email Al Ballard a copy of your post, proof positive that discussing crap is important too.

Conrad,

Now that is the question, along the same lines as farts, figure they go up, but we know what goes up must come down, however, not necessarilly back down on the person who put them there.

Bogarting the Bathroom is sort of a ritual round here, we generally give a warning to those on "our" schedule. Courtesy flushes are madatory or the retribution rivals something quite unholy.

Can't say that I ever thought about it.

I will say that I have one of those water saving toilets downstairs, I believe it's 1 GPF. It is the absolute worst toilet on earth, anything more than a single wad and the thing backs up requiring the plunger. Therefore, it must be flushed a multitude of times during the event, which totally negates the intended purpose. I'd love to meet the idiot that designed it.

Jesse, I bought one of those crappers that will flush 10 GOLF BALLS in one flush. It's ~AWESOME~

Courtesy flushes . . . NO WAY, I love the various odiferous eminents that come with each ****! :eek: It's an adventure each time. Mine usually smell like ice cream with just a hint of garlic!:D

I have no idea what you guys are doing in your bathrooms, but I have to admit, I have never felt the need or compelling desire for a courtesy flush. As others have pointed out, I think it is post-delivery, and post final flush that the ambient mood within may become somewhat unfit for sustaining humanoid life forms (including stray Polkies), and there are plenty of workable solutions for that too if you do your homework.

Now a courtesy wipe is a whole other story!

If you sprinkle when you tinkle, be a sweet and wipe the seat.

Thanks, but no thanks. None of you boys is getting a courtesy wipe from me.

OK Ricardo ... no more of this nonsense: why the heck did you REALLY revive this thread? Were you bored, angry, lonely, depressed ... or WTF? Explain yourself, Sir!

I don't do courtesy flushes. All that whooshing and rushing air and water make my butt and other parts get cold.
