#33: Flushing Etiquette
This is something that everyone should be aware of, yet a surprising number of people overlook it. While we’ve all been taught to flush the toilet after using it, here’s a pro tip: close the lid before you flush. Why, you ask? Well, when you flush with the lid open, it can disperse all sorts of unpleasant particles (think fecal matter, urine, and germs) into the air and onto nearby surfaces.
Pretty gross, right? By closing the lid before flushing, you contain those particles and prevent them from contaminating the rest of the bathroom. Not only is it a matter of good hygiene, but it’s also common courtesy. So, let’s all commit to closing the lid and maintaining a clean and germ-free bathroom. Your roommates, family members, and guests will appreciate it.
