If I didn't look, I wouldn't have known for sure what that tapeworm was.




I lived with someone who didn't look before or after flushing. I had to go remind them to finish what they started.

Don't know what it is about those preteen and teenage-sized turds.

Flush it before you get up off the john. Though that might not be the best idea for those with the low-flow, maybe it'll go down, maybe not type of toilets.

I actually do take a glance from time to time. Just to make sure there's no blood in the stool. Seems to make sense to me.

Courtesy flush? Best way to mist your behind with dissolved in water poo particles. Flushing creates an invisible cloud of pee and poop particles containing harmful bacteria called toilet plume. These can be E Coli, Shigella, and C diff.
You should always flush the toilet with the lid down.

If only, she's been doing it since she was about 3 years old. I couldn't believe how something so big came out of someone so small

I mean, why would one NOT look? If anything, you need to make sure things are "normal" and consistent with previously established patterns.
