    My daughter didn’t check the toilet after she flushed it

    Who does?

        TIL I’m German. I just always doublecheck everything has gone down, just a listen for something not right, a quick glance. It’s not like I’m hovering over the bowl like, “Yes, my little fecal babies, your time with me may be at an end, but your journey in this world has only just begun…” I mean, who does that? Not this well-adjusted person.

          They are referring to the meme about old German toilets having an ‘inspection shelf’ (Flachspüler)

      I think the implication was that she wasn’t aware of whether or not the toilet finished flushing.

      I have one toilet that flushes quickly, and I can usually tell that it’s finish flushing by the time I’ve finished washing my hands.

        ? Are the toilets usually slow where you live?

        The toilets here take just a few seconds to flush.

            Ah, you meant the refill. I don’t know how fast that is. It’s way slower than the actual flush though.

              You can’t be certain your toilet has completed a flush “safely” until it’s finished (and stopped) refilling!
