It's a habit that's hard to break and besides, not flushing goes against everything I believe in! :) ;) When it's public it's just GROSS!

And the guy waiting in line thinks you did it. Nothing is worse than going into a public bathroom, locking the door only to find a big load in the toliet, and it won’t flush down.

Why ever flush at all for that matter, until the toilet is full?! I am a flusher. Why stop at number one–hey, its only number two for goodness sake.

I didn't know about the flushing thing. Walked in and I think it must have been the morning after a full moon party and nobody must of had to poo because there was enough pee that I had to flush to be able to go and then ended up throwing up because of it. Yuck! I have not been back in that bathroom since. I have been in much worse on STJ but have found my secret one at Wharfside now! The worst was the public ones after you get off your charter at the National Park dock and leave customs. On our first trip to STJ we went to Miss lucy’s for brunch.
