To flush, or not to flush...

I have always wondered what the proper etiquette for flushing at night is, especially late at night. At my own house, I'll just flush, but what about when I'm a guest at another house? Should I flush and wake everyone up in the house, or should I not flush, let them sleep, and leave them a suprise in the morning? There are many variables such as who you are the guest to, your relation to the person who's toilet you are flushing, and what you would be flushing, but what is the proper etiquette for this tough situation?

who the fsck wakes up when the toilet is flushed? these aren't airline toilets that shake the whole plane when they're flushed.

haha, did you just come up with that? I think I'll make that my new motto on this issue if you don't mind.

Nah, actually I heard it from a friend of mine who went to a conservation camp when she was younger. :)

Well, actually, the toliet in my apartment is seriously a beast. Its like one of those you would see in schools and stuff like that. I flushed 5 lbs of rice down it and it didn't clog.

why does the apartment have uber toliets? I dunno. they're like 80 years old and its not like I pay for water (part of rent)

As to flushing the rice down there, well, I needed to get rid of it and I was curious...

If its yellow, let it mellow...if its brown, flush it down.

Isn't that from Meet the Fokkers?

yes

It may have been in that movie, but it's a hell of a lot older than that. I'm 36 and I've heard it since I was young. It's probably from the 60s or 70s. It is for water conservation.
