Bless your vagina, OpalCat, and damn the manliness.

I always look, then flush if needed. I also check for supplies. I never “courtesy flush”. Better you smell it than me bathe in it.

I’m not talking about peeing. I’m talking about when my son pees and then doesn’t flush, and I have to go #2, I don’t want a toilet full of someone else’s pee splashing up on me.
Oh, one other thing not totally related but not totally unrelated either. We have seat-mounted bidets on our toilets, which greatly reduces the need for TP (you just use it to blot dry) and since installing these we’ve experience much less toilet clogging. 
That, plus you feel actually clean.
I’ve always just gone w/o flushing - but I’ve never thought of the clogged toilet angle. I have probably been a victim of a clogged toilet in those circumstances, too.
I always assume some hoverer has been nice and wiped up their drips after peeing, or someone has just blown their nose and dropped it in.
On another toilet note, what is with those super flushing public toilets that spray water all over the seat? I was at the Mall of America yesterday and had to use the facilities. There was a line and when it was my turn I walked into the stall and there was water all over the seat. I wiped it all off cause I didn’t know what it was, did my duty, and when I flushed there was water spray all over the seat again! I wiped it up again because I didn’t want the person after me to think I was a messy hoverer. I thought about just dropping the tissue I had used into the toilet, but I used the bin in the stall instead.
Sheesh…aim for the side boyo.
Me…no flush, save water
I should clarify: I’m not so much talking about public toilets. Those seem to generally have those industrial power flushes and rarely clog–and if they do clog, it’s obvious. I’m talking about, say, toilets at a home.
And also
“Unclean bowls…trouble me”

Always, Always, Always
The game must be played on a clean field
Water conservation be damned. Truth be told, chances are that if it wasn’t for the effect of the low flush toilet, there wouldn’t be something left in there that I would have to deal with.
In public: I tend to just use another stall, because I just don’t want to deal with a clog if that’s the reason there’s still something in the bowl.
At home: it depends. If the water in the bowl seems a little low, and the TP is all bunched at the bottom, then I’ll probably flush, because it may be half-clogged (our toilet will clog at nothing!) and needs to be plunged before anything else can be safely added to it. If the TP is floating around on top, then I might just go directly. I don’t think I’m particularly consistent about it.
I admit, as much as I feel guilty about it, I suck at water conservation! I like long, hot showers, I turn on the tap in the sink to let the cats drink out of it (but only when I’m in the room, I don’t leave it dripping for hours!) and I don’t feel bad about flushing more than once if I just don’t like what’s in the bowl before I go. I guess we’re pretty spoiled here; we pay for heating, but water is free and abundant, and it just isn’t in my habits to think about it much. I’m good about recycling, turning off lights that aren’t needed and other things, but I just don’t think about water much. As I said, though, I feel guilty, but I’m unlikely to change!
The downstairs toilet, I’d flush first with plunger in hand, just in case. That toilet is quite prone to clog, so the TP would be a clear sign that it needs a plunging.
The upstairs toilets are less touchy, so I’d probably just pee, then flush.
Splashback never occurred to me, frankly – if there’s pee in the otilets, I’d never flush first., but just add my deposit to whatever was there.
I’m glad I’m not the only one that remembers the clean bowl thing. That was exactly what I thought of clicking into this thread.
Our work toilets often have remnants of TP in them, and by now I’ve learned that it doesn’t mean they are clogged, so I don’t bother flushing. But anywhere else I’d flush just to make sure it’s not clogged, yes.
Do you mean one similar to this one? My friend’s son works at Google (kissass 
) and he says they have these in their restrooms.
Believe me, I’m tempted.
I hear that they’re a boon to himroid (no, I’ll not look it up) sufferers. Gotta pay for my new scooter first.
Peace,

The ones we have on our toilets are this one specifically. It’s easy to install and only costs $89. (The one you linked to is over $400!)
And in a plain brown wrapper!
But you’re talking to a gadget freak. I might try that one, though.
Cold water!!! :eek:
For slightly more* they have one that will do warm water, but I’ve never found the cold water to really be an issue. It’s actually rather soothing.
(by slightly more I mean just over double. here)
