Do you flush the toilet when you pee?

  This is kind of funny, I never knew other people had opinions on this O_O
  Again, I sometimes don't flush when my urine is really clear. But ...
  If I micturate in a public restroom, of course I'm flushing that stuff! I don't want anyone cloning me!~ :worry2:

  Most people's pee isn't clear, and most people's pee has an odor. You've got to think, everything that enters into your body is going to change the way your pee looks and smells. If you're one of those people that eats whatever and drinks whatever, you're not going to have clear and odorless pee. Medications can also alter it.
  

  
  
  In actuality, urine should be generally odorless. If it isn't odorless, then it's either due to:
  
  

  
  
  • Eating something strong like asparagus or spinach
    
  • Medications
    
  • An infection (Urine is naturally sterile)
    

  
  
  Everyone does realize that urine is more than 95% water and it just has some dissolved compounds in it. If urine is left alone for a while, the urea in the urine begins to give off an odor (which apparently is ammonia).
  
  The only disgusting thing about urine would be the fact that you excreted it from your body. But, I could probably mix a solution that has a majority of things urine has for like less than 10 dollars D:
  
  
  Also, just to make you all feel bad. You also excrete a small amount of urea when you sweat.
  So, you're basically peeing through your skin - just at a minor scale :skip:
  
  
  If you are at home - I don't see a problem with not flushing all the time. And if you are like me, I micturate about 4-6 times a day. So, really - it's not that big of a deal D:

  Even though my urine's pretty clear, I always flush. Wouldn't want someone to drop a log and have my pee splash all over their cheeks now.

  I have the duo-button toilets so it only uses a half gallon of water for pee.

  Absolutely. If you're the only one in your household that's your own business, but lifting the lid to see someone else's urine is disgusting.

  Yeah, if you're super healthy and drink water like crazy.
  
  

  
  
  That's so true. I drink 1-5 bottles of tap water a day, depends though. I just wonder how I drink that much while on the computer. It's insane. And then I gotta go to the bathroom a lot, and stop flushing when it's clear but do flush if I go a lot without flushing.

  Did anyone else notice this?
  
  Also, yes I flush every time.

  
  
  I'm so glad I wasn't the only one who noticed...

  I did a double-take when I read that.

  
  
  I did too, had to re-read to make sure my eyes weren't giving out on me.
  
  That being said, I always flush. I think it's disgusting when people don't flush, I don't care HOW clear it is. That's nasty. I've been to countries where water is scarce, they charge you to use the bathroom. I'd rather pay to use the bathroom then be told not to flush.

  Well it does save water from flushing all the time.
  
  Most of the time I do, unless my urine is really clear. No one will ever know ... :evil:
  
  (Urine should normally be odor-free and sterile, so yeah. It's not like it's poop.)

  
  
  ^this basically,
  I used to flush it all the time, but now that I moved, gotta save dat water bill yo
  
  ever heard of the saying
  
  If it's yellow, let it mellow
  If it's brown, flush it down
  ?
  
  though in public bathrooms, always yes
  
  
  edit: wait you know a normal toilet isn't suppose to ever get "overfilled" no matter what, cause the way it works the water only gets pushed down so that it stays at the same level o_O

  Flushing after every pee wastes a ridicolous amount of water. It is something only a rich industrialized nation can do.....

  Well yeah guys.
  
  I don't see how girls would manage not flushing. The toilet would clog like mad when you did.
