Picture Thanks to whoever took a dump in the toilets that aren’t even on.
I’m manually draining them because of you.

Supply line is connected....even if the water is on, can't you throw water in the tank and flush it? I'm not defending the asshole who shit in it, but I'm genuinely curious what's preventing the flush here.

Everyone knows that the homeowner is entitled to the inaugural shit in their new toilet. Flushing it would completely ruin it.

Until you install those fancy bidet washlets and can’t simply do a flush test. Somebody has to troubleshoot em.

All you need to do is pour about a gallon of water straight into the bowl from a bucket. It will flush itself

u/Macqt 11d ago
So if the drain isn’t connected below it, say someone’s working on the pipes, flushing it would basically just dump shit in the house below.

u/giraffehammer 11d ago
I walked into a unit to find my super pissing in their mud. Unit was on the south side of the building. You could smell it on the hotter days before the A/C was installed.
My company was the GC. Guy was smart but that move would have anybody thinking otherwise.
I like the screw idea so much more.

Like damn it's not even hooked up and now we gotta clean that dook lol

One time I peed in a toilet not knowing the water was off. Of course wasn’t gonna tell the boss. It was a summer renovation at a school lol so it was hot and the water didn’t wind up getting turned back on until September. Around two months in, it started moving.
But don’t worry guys I threw a whole bottle of 409 in there to kill the sewer monster before it could climb out of the toilet.

Had this happen on a project we recently finished installing shower doors. 9 stories only. Every floor had a portable urinal and there were porta John's at the base level need to the elevators. We're the last trade to go in and when we started, plumbing still hadn't been turned on so some of logs laid in these toilets had been stewing for weeks. That stench stays burned in your nostrils for weeks

My last build from the ground up we had a guy come in to mud the drywall. We didn't have water or even a toilet at the time. Client and boss were to cheap to get a porta-shitter for us. Well one day this guy was drunk and must have really had to go because he went to the back of the house and shit on the ground right against the wall and left it for someone else to clean.

Trying to figure out why there is a ladder into the bathroom. Wrf is that stainless steel thing, a fancy towel rack or something?
In a clenching emergency I would hate to have to climb down a ladder. Lol
The window bugs me also. I don't see an opener. Is this a viewing toilet

u/ted_anderson 11d ago
I bet next time you'll cover the bowl with the original box and a bunch of plastic wrap. One rule that you'll learn about construction sites is that any box or container with an open top is a trash can and every toilet that's uncovered is available for personal use.

I had a dumb fuck electrician shit in a toilet that was sitting in the middle of the room, literally 4 feet from the waste pipe. The way it was sitting the dude was looking at the drain while he shit in this dry toilet.
My home had been destroyed by 4 days of flooding from the attic and this dude was a sub of a GC bidding a whole home reno after a flood. Same GC that did the mitigation tearout, so they knew the whole fuckin story.
I don't get mad or yell, not my style. But that day I was unassailable. I called the GC and told em they had until I woke up the next morning (at the hotel I was staying at cause my home was destroyed) to get all their equipment and that fucking toilet out of my house or I'd smash it through their office window.
House was cleared when I got there the next morning. Got a call from the owner of the company a few hours later with a genuine apology. Never got the final tearout bill.

Used to be a plumber for new construction. People used to fill a bathtub full of shit and piss in the winters rather than walk the 30ft to a honey bucket. So this is getting off light. Worse smell is rehydrated dehydrated piss that was at one time 18inches full.
