Flushing Toilets

Remember this if you're using a toilet you haven't used before:

When you're flushing it, continue to hold down the handle, just in case it's one of those toilets where you have to keep holding the handle down to make it flush all the way.

Even if it isn't, holding down the handle for a second is easier than waiting for the tank to refill completely with water before you try to flush it again.

Also, people who might be outside the bathroom won't hear it flush twice. If they hear that, they might assume weird things.

Bonus Information:

Thomas Crapper did not invent the flushing toilet, he merely improved upon an existing design. What he did invent, however, is what's called a ballcock.
