"Push the damn button!!"

[Bright_Star]

Just about everyday when I'm cleaning the bathrooms at Sam's Club I walk into a stall that hasn't been flushed & have to flush the unspeakable mess myself. I have to groan, hold my breath cause it reeks & push the button that's located above the sensor to flush the toilet.
How hard is it to push the button? I hear people say that the sensor doesn't work so it won't flush itself. ok...BUT...just press the damn button already!!
It's not like the button is hard to find. it's right there plain as day. It's not like it's hiding behind a curtain.
You ever go to a public bathroom, go in a stall only to find someone didn't flush the toilet? How did you react?

"Pay no attention to the button behind the curtain."


This happens at work sometimes. It's rare cuz the sensors are actually pretty good (but not too sensitive, either), but really, it's a big shiny silver button. It's not hard to see. It depends on how disgusting it is if I'll use the stall or not. If it's just a little bit of paper it doesn't bother me....

The toilets with sensors have a button? I never knew that.

Just push the damn button! (http://gallery.lost-media.com/displayimage-737-552.html)

Seriously though, I don't understand this either. Are people proud of what they have done? Afraid to touch the icky button? Or just can't be fussed? Either way, it's gross for those of us who find it :(

I usually go "UGH!" and attempt to use a different stall. I'm sorry, but your floaters are disgusting and unless there are no other stalls available or are occupado, I refuse to even ENTER said stall!!

Call me a snob, but I was not raised to clean up other people's nasties, nor do I care to, and I have a great respect for those people who DO have to deal with such disgusting things.

IMO the reason why the toilets don't flush is that the sensor doesn't go off as it should.

A few times I've gone to use the loo and gotten up, but no flushy. Wave my hand in front of it, and set it off, yes, but sometimes the thing just doesn't go.

I don't see an issue, just gasp, flush and go.

And with the 3 yrd old neice. . .we (Her Mom, Our Mom, and I) keep post it notes in our purse. We place it over the sensor so that it doesn't flush whilest she is doing her thing. It scares her when it flushes while she is sitting.

I will say on some the button is easy to spot and on others it isn't. Also, people are becoming used to the sensor and don't always think did it flush? They just go on their marry way. (Lot's of people have things on their mind and flushing isn't always near the top)

Yes, it is annoying and sometimes disgusting. Yes, you have every right to vent about it. Just be realistic and know that it won't change anytime soon. In the meantime might I suggest a clothes pin or a fume mask?

The only place that has automatic flushers is Wal-Mart around here. No wait...the mall bathrooms do too....

But I digress.

I am completely disgusted and dismayed at the amount of women I work with that cannot flush a fucking toilet. Pardon my cursing, but what the fuck is wrong with you....do you do that at home? Do you take a huge dukie and leave it there for your children or husband to admire? Do you think it's too hard to flush? Too gross? What's more gross is what you left in there!

I used to be naive and thought only men were sick and twisted like that. I have learned the error of my ways....women are just as bad.

I swear, there have been nights where I've walked into the bathroom, went to the first stall...nope can't use, huge unflushed smelly dukie that's been sitting for gosh knows how long, second stall.....clogged with pretty much an entire roll of toilet paper, third stall....oooh another huge dukie...........

What the hell is wrong with people. Oh wait, of course they don't do that at home.

my daughter told me about the button I had thought if it did not flush itself their were no options

a place we go has automatic sinks I do not like them it is really hard to get them to work and the spigot is all torn up were people pull on it trying to make it work

me and daughter were discussing it when we ask the boys if it was like that in the mens room they sorta looked away and I said " for gods sake start washing your hands!" yes they had no idea if the sink worked or not as they never tried to use it:eek:


at one place my Daughter took forever getting out of the bathroom stall ,she said she had to wait till no one was in the restroom or they would see that she had not flushed the toilet , as even after pushing the button still no flushey

Oh wait, of course they don't do that at home.


Some of them do do that at home.

My boyfriend told me of living with an older friend of ours, and friend's daughter (daughter is in her mid-30's). He would often go to use the bathroom in the morning (the only other person to use that bathroom was the daughter), only to find the lid down concealing a suprise. Yup - there would be a big ol' turd smiling back at him. Even worse - no sign of toilet paper.

I go into my OWN bathroom to find the unspeakable mess. I have had a friend go into my bathroom to find a number 2 still there.

FH is HORRIBLE when it comes to this. I have begged, demanded, pleaded, screamed, even tried to embarrass him with the friend incident to get him to FLUSH THAT DAMNED TOILET!

Some people just have no clue. Just so you know, most of those people that don't flush, often don't wash their hands EITHER.

YES I'm still talking about FH! Ever known what it's like to tell a 24 your old grown man to wash his hands? It's irritating to say the least!

I have used toilets in 6 different countries and I figured out how to use them every time, even the freaky Asian-style toilets.

I can't figure out why some people can't seem to use toilets in their own countries. Unless all the non-flushers are foreign, which seems unlikely to say the least. :rolleyes:

*Pushes button*

I learned something to day . . .Mom asked me to come downstairs and help with sister's kids. Mom had the two year old Boy on the toilet facing the tank. Apparently while training little boys it can be a bit easier and you don't have to have the kids seat.
I walked to the door and he said "<his name for me> poop potty" with a big grin on his face. Yes, I being the crazy Aunt did the potty song and dance.
He was exicted to get to flush.
