Do You Know How To Flush?

I hate the renovated toilets at the office. I think it's been shoddily done. When I saw this email (with all its grammatical errors) from the estate admin department, I didn't know how to react.

"Ladies, we need your help to overcome a persistent chokage problem we've been having in L2 Ladies' Toilet.
Could you help communicate to the ladies in your teams that:
1. they should use the full flush if they happened to use a lot of toilet paper; and
2. to keep their fingers on the half flush to ensure that there's sufficient water to flush before walking off.


Thanks very much for your help."


It knocked the socks off me. WAHAHHAHAHAHA. It's like, Hallo. Seriously lor. Why the email never acknowledge that their toilet flush and plumbing system are weak and so not eco-friendly?

Let's just say that on a major poo job, the full flush doesn't work either. Everything goes down and comes back right up. And this is on crappy rough and thin toilet paper. Not the lovely 3-ply plush and thick rolls I use at home.

So how?! The sender of that email should give out further instructions on 'How Many Squares of Toilet Paper To Use and How To Flush.'

"The Environmental Protection Administration under the Executive Yuan discouraged citizens Wednesday from forming the habit of flushing away used toilet paper instead of placing it in
waste bins."

cavalock: if you're a whisky drinker straight, the bowmore 17y.o is great. not sure if they have the bowmore 15. but that works too. otherwise, take the balvenie 12.

imp said...

natasha: WE ALSO SAY!

lcn: wahahhahaha. good idea. reverse it for us to use instead.

corsage: we were joking that it should be part of ISO procedures.

i noticed that my office toilets also something like that. i always thought it stinks, but i can't pinpoint a reason till i finally realized it's because the water pressure from flushing (there's only one button to flush) wasn't strong enough. and no one did anything for a couple of weeks. i called and complained and (thank goodness) they could fix it.

now, after several months, the problem seems to be coming back... time to call maintenance again.
