If I ever write a book, passing on all the knowledge I've learnt from life -
and believe me, it would be short - then this wise little maxim would have a whole chapter devoted to it:

NEVER FLUSH ANOTHER MANS POO

This has just happened to me - I toddled off for a well earned pit stop, opened the door to trap one, and was greeted by a fairly innocuous clump of toilet paper at the bottom of the toilet bowl. So I flush. omg. Theres a violent churn, and the toilet paper reveals its hidden bounty - enough poo to end world famine, mountains of the stuff, doing its best coco pop impression with the water...the water which is slowly rising to the top of the bowl...the water which is now overflowing. Oh noes. I do the honourable thing, what any stand up man would do.

I put the lid down. And walk away.

NEVER FLUSH ANOTHER MANS POO

Agh!
What if people had been outside and assumed you had made the toilet overflow with your own gargantuan shit?

You should track him down and give him a telling off.

wow
this brings a tear to my eye... i used to live in a house where every morning, there would be a freshly laid, unflushed turd in the toilet outside my room... rather than deal with flushing it, i moved out.

Rookie Mistake
You should attempt to lock the door from the outside too.

.
Using poo to end world famine is a fairly novel idea, but I have a feeling it would go down about as well as the subject of this tale...
