This works to remove the water left in the toilet when I remove it to work on it

Ughh tell me about it. It’s so sad people just let stuff go and I have to work in the nasty crud and filth it’s terrible sometimes the bathroom is a crawling cesspool of who knows what. The guy that peed standing up and soaks around the toilet because he misses all the time or the wood rotting out from around because they don’t care that it overflows, and then the case of the constipated grandchildren when they visit their grandpa, he has to keep a knife by the toilet to cut up their loads before flushing. I just shake my head then go home and sing my wife’s praises for how clean she keeps the house.

Eww, its amazing how dirty people can live especially bathrooms 🙁 I think the world would be so much better if homes had urinals. I’m sorry sometimes that guy has a mind of its own and is also near sided!!

The other thing is people should buy a good toilet some of the early low flow toilets were horrible, and some are still bad. I have noticed a big difference in quality. Nothing will beat a Ferguson from Married with Children!!

Seriously. If you ever want to be truly disturbed, get a black light and look at the walls next too your toilet. I did a few years ago and now I sit because I don’t want to clean that nastyness off the walls. I had to have a little chat with the father in law too. I wasn’t his biggest fan to begin with, but after I saw what he did in the guest bathroom, I handed him a container of Clorox wipes and told him to clean his own mess.

It’s amazing how little attention men pay too where they splash until you have to clean it up.

If/when I build my shop/mancave, it will have a urinal.

Guys can be crude, no doubt, but in between jobs I once worked as a porter/janitor/handyman/dockworker/etc. for a department store. One of my tasks was to clean the rest rooms. It came as a surprise to me, but the ladies rooms were ALWAYS 5 times nastier than the men’s. Don’t know why.
