cant wait to tell my gf that when she comes home so she can yell at the super, then she would probably ask me why i was taking a shower in the morning in the first place

Actually it would work completely normally. For one flush (maybe two if you're lucky). Toilets work because they keep a big water reserve in the upper bin, and then quickly release that water reserve letting gravity (and sometimes positive air pressure) do all/most of the pushing. So unless "turning off the water" also means "opening up the toilet reservoir and siphoning off all water" the flush would have worked perfectly.

Also note that while you can turn off water supply, there is usually no valve to turn off wastewater exhaust (sewer). So it would not have been messy in any way.

most apartment (unlike houses) use the same water tank on the roof for both the bath/kitchen water and the toilet, and there's no reserve bin behind the crapper, for me, that's exactly the case, so yeah i couldn't flush, but i didn't pee or crap when it went out. i was brushing teeth

its all fine now. next time i see water slowing, i'm going to just chew gum...

Must be a regional thing...every apartment I've been had a basin in the back of the toilet.

That's why I fill up a tumbler of water to rinse out my mouth and toothbrush with. Actually, it's not the reason why, but I do it anyway.

A. don't leave the water running while you brush
B. you don't need water to brush, perhaps only to rinse your brush which isn't even a dire need - learn to do it without, you'll live
