Our submitter says this note was posted in a Princeton University restroom by his coworker, who had become “completely obsessed with finding out who didn’t flush the urinal after using it.” After posting the note, he began to discreetly check the urinal every time he saw someone leave the restroom.
“Eventually he identified the culprit, and that individual was appropriately shunned,” says our submitter. “At least he kept his oath to God!”

I feel like our submitter here must be using “discreetly” in a sense I’m not familiar with, as nothing about this post communicates discretion. Or sanity.
The notewriter definitely doth protest too much, though, with his “creepy little pisslover” f̵a̶p̶p̶a̶g̶e̶ accusations.

Gosh, that’s a lot of tape.
Given the locale, though…actually, it’s fairly pragmatic. You wouldn’t want your PAN to suffer the indignity of stains from unflushed splash-age, would you?

Maybe the culprit was trying to save water?
I mean, I understand getting mad about leaving a number 2 in the urinal, or not flushing the really gross stuff, but pee isn’t that that bad, all things considered.

Oh! My own comment reminded me of a funny story. Well, funny to me. It’s pretty disgusting.
My friend was pregnant and suffering from some really terrible morning sickness while at work. She worked retail, so she tended to run to the closest bathroom in the store, which wasn’t always the employee bathroom. One day, she was preemptively heading to the restroom, because her MS hit like clockwork and she was about 2 minutes until go time. She got to the restroom and went into the handicapped stall (she had trouble turning around in the really narrow other ones) and there was this horrific masterpiece of feces and blood and vomit and the good Lord knows what else. Clearly, this exacerbated her morning sickness. She tried to run and hold in the backlash, but she couldn’t, and ended up spewing on the floor and wall. She then continued to try and leave, and puked through her nose. At that point she just gave up, sat down on the floor and started sobbing. Apparently she pressed her walkie button while doing so, because basically the entire staff came rushing to find her after hearing sobbing over their radios.
This is where it gets better: Her manager helped her up, cleaned her off, bought her an entirely new outfit from the store (shoes and all), and sent her home early. When she came back to work the next day, the employees had a cake for her. It was really sweet.
Also, apparently the people tasked with cleaning it up got sick too and it was a huge vomitornado.

Not flushing your piss is lazy and kinda gross, but I wouldn’t necessarily describe it as “creepy.” No, what’s creepy is some weirdo waiting around monitoring who uses the restroom and sneaking in to inspect the urinals every time somebody leaves.
Notewriter deserves a more severe shunning than the chronic non-flusher.

This note has me pissed off!
As Jami pointed out, it’s better to be pissed off than pissed on! Just pull the handle, push the button or wave your arms around the sensor, whatever it takes to flush the damned urinal. Show a little courtesy.

This happened every morning at the grocery store where I work. Someone who helped stock in the morning kept leaving his pee in the bowl and walking away, since we have unisex bathrooms everyone got their share in finding it. One lady took such offense she stalked the restrooms until she found the offender and chewed him out for being a “disgusting caveman” and a chauvinist pig”. Turns out that the guy was just trying to conserve water as we were in the middle of a drought. Unless I have to wipe up “splashback” I really couldn’t care less if I have to flush someone else’s pee. And how does the note poster know that it was always this same person anyway? (Picturing full hasmat gear and a home DNA kit)

So…before this note, I never realized a person had to flush a urinal. I just assumed it went straight down the drain.

I doubt these idiots are washing their hands too.. lazy fuckers.
And people wonder how they get sick. Slimeball who doesn’t flush the urinal/toilet is also going to walk on by the sinks, unless they’re checking their hair or teeth maybe. But wash those nasty hands? No.. that takes too much effort.
Blech.

Somebody at my mom’s office likes to poop and not flush it. I encountered it more than once while working there. I… kind of hope that person dies soon?

In California, the note writer would be the one shunned for wasting water. We’re in a drought, no one in this state is flushing for pee, only for turds.

My personal preference is to pee in the sink. Somebody is eventually going to come along and wash their hands, which will serve as a very “green” flush. I don’t wash my hands for a #1. My all beef frank is fairly clean, so it’s a waste of water.
Sink pissing works on a number of levels. It’s good for the trap, as the urea helps to prevent the growth of mold. It also breaks down calcium and lime buildup inthe drain pipe.
The best part is that the splashing is minimal. urinals are horrible with regard to spashing. Commodes are inconvenient because they’re too low. Plus, I tend to pee on the seat.
As for the inevitable duece, I opt not to flsuh that unless I’m leaving for the day. The way I see it, an unflushed toilet is a claimed toilet. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve walked into a crowded restroom after lunch only to find the stall I soiled in the morning there for my pooping pleasure.

I really like some of the monikers on this page. Chinchillazilla and assiveProgressive are a couple of my favorites.

I had to clean bathrooms as part of my coffee shop job years ago. I was the only worker during my shift, so I had to take care of everything. Every shift I had some douche pee on the floor in the men’s bathroom by the toilet. I use to try to figure out who it was so that I could ban him! But I was always kept so busy I never could figure it out. I wish all people respected public bathrooms!!
