Did you flush properly?

How come the public toilets are so dirty? Maybe because people use it too much, may be because nobody clean them and may be because people don’t know how to ‘poopoo’ properly!

Then all sort of stories come out. Bigger people may have bigger poopoos and so on. Some public toilets are filthy and smelly. I don’t even want to describe them here. Public toilets are dirty because too many people use them (i.e. not enough public toilets around so the existing ones are ‘overused’), they are not cleaned properly. Some of us don’t even know how to use the toilets properly.

Be honest, the last time you used the toilet, did you flush properly? Did you even dare hold the flush handle let alone use it? When you pee, did you ‘aim’ at the bowl or sprayed all over? When you did the heavy stuff, did you actually err.. sit on the toilet seat or did you squat on the toilet seat?

The funny thing is, we all expect clean toilets. All of us. We don’t want to use dirty smelly toilets. Our toilets at home are clean. So how can we tolerate the dirty state of our public toilets? Can’t we do something about it? Can we urge the people in charge to put in extra effort to maintain the toilets? Can we get them to provide us with clean toilets? Can the authorities pump in more money to provide clean toilets?

Well! This all applies when you are in a shared house. Will you be happy to flush your housemate’s shit floating in the toilet? Will you even want to see lumps of shit floating and spreading the ‘nice’ smell throughout the house?

Yes! if we all can flush and clean the toilet after use, the problem is almost solved. Innit!!
