This is a very serious subject, because evidently- some of you don't know the proper toilet etiquette, when 'dropping friends off at the pool'. So I must inform you.
The rule to live by is: Flush early and flush often.
To explain.
- When you hear that your very first friend has made it safely to the water - flush. Don't wait for the others - flush NOW.
- Only two friends in the pool at a time. When you drop off the second friend - flush.
- If you have a very large friend, don't wait for the next friend. Flush.
- And lastly - When in doubt - flush.
These tips not only keep you from overflowing the toilet - they also keep the smell down. Your friends can sometimes be very smelly, so the less they hang around - the less their scent hangs around.
And don't worry about people wondering why you're flushing so much - no one cares. Everyone's trying to take care of their own business; why should we take the time to worry about yours?
Think about it - would you rather flush more than once or have a toilet back up on you? Once the overflow reaches the floor - EVERYONE will know what you've been doing. And they won't be happy.
I know I'm not happy, when I use MY bathroom after some visitor has left, only to discover I now have to find the plunger, because they didn't follow the RULE! In the span of the last three years, I've had to use the plunger a grand total of three times. And all three were someone else's mess coming back to taunt me.
Trying to make the world a better place- one flush at a time.
