With all of today’s technology, one common household feature can also be one of the most frustrating.
Yes, we’re talking about the toilet. More specifically, your toilet’s flushing ability.
(Did you know that there are seven different types of poop? We’ll get back to this in a moment…)
One thing that Web Watch always makes note of when we’re staying at hotels across the country is whether the hotel’s engineering staff “get it” in terms of providing adequate flushing power for their guests. We were so impressed at the flushing prowess at one hotel that we went so far as to take a look in the tank to see what magic flushing mechanism was inside (in that case, it was a professional pressurized unit – all the more likely to not break by curious guests like ourselves).
Worse is when we have to report to the hotel’s front desk about the poor toilet situation in our room. We often wonder is it an isolated situation in our room, or is it something that’s more common across the whole floor or entire hotel. Sadly, we never do get the chance to get the answer to this.
