Why is it bad to flush the toilet when someone is in the shower?

You know the drill: when someone else is in the shower, you don’t flush the toilet. If you do, the person who is showering gets a face full of scalding hot (or cold) water. It’s unpleasant, painful, and probably due to your water pressure in your home.

Why you should always flush the toilet before using it?

“Since the water in the toilet bowl contains bacteria and other microbes from feces, urine and maybe even vomit, there will be some in the water droplets. Even though it’s (really, really) gross, forgetting to put down the toilet seat when you flush likely won’t result in sickness.

Do you look at the toilet paper after wiping?

You have to look at the toilet paper so that you know when you are clean down there. You also need to look at the toilet paper as well as your poo in the toilet to make sure everything looks ok with your health.

Why does your foot fall asleep when you sit on the toilet?

“When you bear down to poop, you raise the pressure in your spinal column, technically called the intrathecal pressure. Sometimes that rise in pressure will cause the discs in your spine to move against the nerves where they exit the spine and cause numbness, weakness, and a generally weird feeling down the legs.

Why does the toilet run when the shower is on?

Forcing air out: When you turn your shower on, the water drains down the pipe, pushing the air that was in the pipe out with it. If there is a clog in your pipes, that air can get trapped. With nowhere else to go, this air may be forced up through another drain, like the toilet.

Why do Showers go cold?

Your shower has faulty pressure-balancing valves. Faulty valves are common causes of temperature fluctuations in the shower. The pressure-balancing valves, also known as thermostatic mixing valves (TMV), blend cold water with hot water to provide constant and safe shower temperatures, preventing scalding.
