Last night, I woke to a toilet flushing. It wasn’t me. It wasn’t Mr. b. Convinced myself a cat had jumped on the handle but was still freaked out.

Once had a six foot racer snake shoot out of a toilet hitting me between my eyes.

Low flow toilets are putting my plumber’s kids through college...

The flow restrictor on my kitchen faucet is what pisses me off.

As I mentioned a while back, I walked into the plumbing supply and told them I need a toilet that can flush a basketball shoe. They sold me a Toto. I am satisfied.

That would have killed my wife. She is deathly afraid of snakes.

BTW The racer snake's taxonomic name is Coluber constrictor priapus.
Priapus is the name of a minor Greek god of fertility, The son of Dionisius and Aphrodite.
Priapism is an unwanted persistent erection which, if it should last more than four hours, one should seek urgent medical attention.

What brand, model did you buy? One of the problems with low flush toilets is the splash factor. Yuck! How does the one you bought do on that?

I have never understood why toilets have so many curved areas around the sides. Just makes them harder to clean.

Exactly... yiu could use a gallon if you put the tank up higher... but that would take some intelligence.

I flush twice, three times, four times or more.

Get a new one they work and I never have to double flush even tho the toilet has that feature. I use one of the new one piece models with a 4 inch flapper valve. They now make stools in 3 or more heights and as we got older the next size up matters. I also installed a Bidet lid now available for a couple hundred, I think I payed $#50.00 or so for mine 3 or 4 years ago but they save on toilet paper.
