What the fuck kind of communist state doesn't let you turn with the flow of traffic, on a red light? Right-handed turns, one-ways, etc. I'm guessing Texas..

There's a couple practical reasons to keep the lid down:

If you have pets, there's a chance they'll try to drink out of the toilet bowl.
If you don't always flush after taking a piss, leaving the lid down is a good test as to when to flush. Stinky next time you go piss, flush it.

What's wrong with pets drinking from the toilet bowl?
What's wrong with you that you don't flush every time?

The house I live in is old and has a history of electrical problems so this spring I went and bought boxes of energy efficient fluorescent bulbs for the house. The new microwave was blowing breakers so I thought this would lower the strain and they'll contribute less to raising the temperature of the home and cost less to power and are replaced less frequently and all that happy horseshit. I had been using one in my room for a while and had replaced a couple other bulbs in the house with ones from that first box I bought.

Every electrical problem is now the fault of those bulbs. Bad socket with a history of being a bad socket? Those bulbs. The microwave that we absolutely know requires more juice than the breaker is rated for that is fucking shit up? Gotta be the bulbs. A different breaker needs to be replaced? THAT'S IT ALL THOSE BULBS ARE COMING OUT. My parents just absolutely do not believe they use less energy. My father regards them as new technology that our wiring cannot handle. All current and future problems are a result of these bulbs. All long standing problems are the result of these bulbs.

It drives me absolutely crazy.

True story. I lived in an old trailer when those first came out, and I replaced all my bulbs with CFLs. Shortly after, my range started acting up. I can't recall what it was doing, but I had an electrician out to look at it, and all he could tell me was that my phases were out of balance, and that was what was fucking up the range (because it used both phases that were coming into the house). So my first thought was, heck, i'm using less power on my light bulbs, so maybe if I turn them all on, it'll balance things out? Nope. Turned out the answer was that if I turned all my lights off, the range worked fine. I lived alone, so I just killed all the lights anytime I was cooking from then on out. Since then, I've looked closer and CFLs and realized they all have electronics built in with a rectifier circuit, and that circuit could theoretically be throwing harmonics back on your line. Someday, when I get a good oscilloscope, I might test that theory. If that's what's going on, there's probably a fix for it. Something along the lines of adding a filter to the lines, but I'm not sure how those work, or where it would need to be installed.

Oh and about that microwave, out of curiosity, is it plugged into a GFCI outlet? It's a common mistake because most outlets in the kitchen are GFCI protected, but its not supposed to be. If that's your situation, you're lucky its just blowing breakers and not melting the wires in your wall.

Thanks for the report from Lower Shitsville. From now on we'll check in with you when we're wondering what the absolute worst way is to handle something. Wait, come to think of it, we do want that, goto the chicks who broke your heart thread and start telling us how folks would do it where you live.

Conserve water.

I guess since I flush every time, I don't have nearly as much growing as you do. Whatever is there, if it doesn't kill them it'll only make them stronger.

this justles my rimmies.

Don't flush after ONE piss. Cmon man, wasting freshwater here.

LOL, you know what happens to the water when you flush right? Eventually, it gets back to you and you drink it again. If its wasted, then your area has dumber laws than lower shitsville.


Sometimes, I flush the toilet extra times just to make up for people like you two. BTW, thank you faggots for making me buy a low flow toilet. I had to modify it to make it use enough water to satisfy me. I bet if I marketed some kits wherever you guys live, I could make a fortune.

The design is definitely better, but trust me. If you apply those designs to toilets that use a reasonable amount of water, you have something that can pass a newborn baby through a 2" pipe. Passed the S-trap.
