Yes, it’s time for bathroom talk again

I don’t understand people who flush the urinal before they take a piss, but then do not flush the urinal afterward.

Not entirely, that is; it makes sense to me if the asshole prior to you left the urinal unflushed, and it’s disgusting to know that that asshole might be dehydrated or has a little too much iron in their system based on their bronze-colored urine, but I don’t understand people who flush a perfectly clean urinal before/while they piss, but then leave afterward without flushing it after they’re actually done pissing.

I’d say I don’t understand people who don’t flush urinals after they’ve pissed, but that can actually be answered by either laziness, negligence, or a hippie-like mentality to save water by being disgusting.  So it’s not really valid, because the people in question still actually flush the toilet, but choose to do so before the fact, and leave urinal in just as bad of a condition as those who don’t do it at all.

It makes no sense to me.  Are these people who like to race the flush, and try to empty out their entire bladders before the flush refills?  Are these people who are worried about the splash-back into a filled bowl, and think the minimized water quantity of an in-progress flushing urinal leads to less splash-back?  But whatever the reason, so many of these guys neglect to flush afterward, and I do not fucking understand why this is.

If they’ve failed to “beat” the refill, it means the bowl has trace remnants of urine in it.  At this point, it must be flushed.  If their piss lasts longer than the act of the flush, they are still pissing into a urinal that must be flushed.

I get that to some degree, a second toilet flush is environmentally negligent, and is a waste of water, but it’s the sanitary thing to do.  I don’t want to piss in a urinal with someone else’s piss in it, and risk having someone else’s piss splashing back onto me.  Besides, we’re talking about urinals here; I’m 99% certain that most conventional homes do not come equipped with urinals.  Yes, it sounds once again negligent, but in places with urinals, it’s not your water bill that’s on the line – flush that shit twice, if you have to flush prior to the piss.  One more time, after the fact.  One more time, for sanitary reasons.

One more time, for Sting.
