Dear Harlan,
I have a small problem with my suitemate. She doesn't seem to understand the function of a toilet. Actually, she doesn't seem to understand the little lever that makes the toilet flush. Now, I have discussed this with her before, and it all came to become a HUGE problem when I got back to campus first from winter break, and she had used the toilet and didn't flush, which made the toilet mold over inside. We sat down and agreed that this was a gross habit and an issue that must be fixed. Yet she continues to leave the toilet unflushed. What do I do?
Toilet Problem
Dear Toilet Problem,
Let's assume she has a flushing toilet attention-deficit disorder. She might be on the go and forget to flush or not look to see if the first flush finished the flushing. There's nothing pleasant about returning to the toilet and seeing a previous experience waiting for you. Assuming she wants to work through this, ask her for ideas on what can help. Assuming she washes her hands (don't ask, just assume), you might put a little note on the wall or a cute sign near the sink. I found a sign at
Hi, I actually didn't know that there is such an existing disorder. Well, it's a friend of mind who seems to just go out of the toilet without even flushing. I thought that it was really like a matter of bullying me or perhaps he's just forgetful. But for the past 6 months she has been like that. I got too pissed when she left her used pads on the bowl. I called her attention and was surprised to see her just flushing it all down. Too late when I found out that it has been her habit. I need to call for plumbing. Minnesota, is a big city but it seems too small for us. I don't know if it is a disorder in her part, or its just a plain neglect of personal hygiene.
