No kidding, I hate those.

Though proper design is key...you run into some toilets that always get EVERYTHING down the first time, but don't use much water, and then some that use a lot of water but can't seem to get everything...don't they test these things? Guess not.

Good low flows work better than old 4 gallon toilets. I got a kohler that never needs a second flush:eek:

I've been known for taking 1 hour showers...

Seriously, is it raw when you get out? Really. Is it like 2 inches longer after you spend all that time yanking on it?

I do NOT know how people take such slow showers. I dont' know about any of you but I "think" in the shower. When I'm blocked for thoughts or I really really need to think clearly I shower... Maybe it's kind of odd but some people do it driving for me it's showering. And I take an average of 30 minute showers. I usually run out of hot water...
