I’ve struggled with the toilet at work since I arrived four months ago.
It took me a few weeks to figure out the proper sequence and timing of flushes to evacuate the bowl. I would flush, wait a second, add an additional flush, and then a final flush a second later to finish it off. The flushes would overlap, in effect.
Well someone tweaked the flush, and now I find myself struggling to evacuate the bowl again.
The toilet flush is so intense initially, it obliterates the feces into a million bits, rather than gently coaxing the log through like you would expect from a proper toilet. After doing this, the flush weakens rapidly and simply scatters the feces around the bowl, necessitating the additional flushes.
Plumbers just don’t understand the finesse required to safely and efficiently slide a deuce down a toilet bowl. They just think that power is better, but power ruins everything, as you so eloquently described.
Remember that toilet at Kopek’s grandma’s house? That would obliterate anything…except one very difficult to handle feminine hygiene product….
