if its brown, flush it down.”im sure a lot of it has to do with the fact that i work at home. alone (well, except for the cats and dog). all day. and i drink a lot of water, which makes for many trips to the bathroom.another thing i have to admit: i also try to use very little toilet paper. i wash my hands after, though. every time. (so maybe the water i dont use flushing makes up for the water used to wash my hands?)ironically, my husband, who only uses toilet paper when necessary, always flushes. but he doesnt seem to mind that i dont flush every time. or, at least not enough to file for divorce. yet. posted by juliet farmer jun 14, 2010 at 10:21 pmcomments (2) when im at home alone i do not flush every time i pee(小便). my husband hates that, though, so when hes home, i flush a little more often. i grew up doing that because i had a family that lived with huge tanks and you have to do it that way because its easier on the system, so it doesnt bother me. i do flush when im out in public, at peoples houses that dont have big tanks and when we have company!cherbearcm, jun 15, 2010 at 4:21 pm not always. but i have 4 children who are always hanging from the door knob（球形捏手） while i pee anyway. so im lucky i have time to wash my hands after. the average toilet uses 8 gallons of water per flush! much less than what it takes to wash my hands after.
