    Do you use the courtesy flush for smell or noise purposes?

    Now I always hear references of using the courtesy flush to alleviate smell, but I thought it could also be used to mask sounds as well. So what say ye nut misc? Do you use courtesy flush for noise, sound, both, or other?

    I thought the "courtesy" was flushing a second time to make the bowl look cleaner for the next user

    Yeah that's the thing, it is subjective and seems to have different meanings for different people. That's why I left an "other" option.

    Urban dictionary is useful.



    However, the first 12 entries have to do with odor. Some are really funny.

    The ONLY time I've ever flushed more than once was if I was worried it might get clogged. Never heard of any other reason to do it, and who gives a phuck if it smells thats what spray is for.

    Yeah, see I think traditionally it was if you were in a public restroom, and there were people in other stalls, you did a courtesy flush so others wouldn't have to smell it sitting there lingering. I even remember a movie/show where a guy was in the restroom, and it stunk, and he yells to the other stall " Hey, can we get a courtesy flush over here?" or something to that effect.

    A bit off topic but...this sumbitch was on the toilet this morning in our office building and it sounded like he was having sex. Who the fck makes sex noises when they are #2ing? Is it really that clogged that it's causing heavy breathing and moaning? Groce.
