Why does my neighbor flush within 30 seconds of my flushing? (Avg. 3-5 times a day/nite!)

Is this synchro-piss-ity or what?

Perhaps your urine is contagious?

Why are you able to hear your neighbor's flushing?

jcadam · Jun 8, 2005, 01:49 PM

He's probably sitting in his bathroom, listing to the sounds of your BM, wanking it.

I guess because the pipes in one apt are right next to the pipes in another apt and when the flush takes place I'm either in the midst of making a mist or I'm washing up and I hear it.

At first I wondered if he was just waiting there playin a sick joke but it happens in the middle of the nite, to!

Weird, I tell ya!

It would be sweet if you flushing your toilet caused his to flush, and he's huddled in the corner of his living room crying like a baby wondering why his toilet keeps flushing on it's own.

Maybe he's wondering why you always flush 30 seconds before he does.

ManOfSteal · Jun 8, 2005, 02:40 PM

I'd invite him over, then I would go to the bathroom, and then watch him struggle to stay in your apartment, or immediately leave the scene to match you. Power struggle!

RAILhead · Jun 8, 2005, 02:52 PM

Or, maybe you should use his bathroom and you'd have an extra 30 seconds to finish reading that last paragraph...

/got nothin else

Most likely what you are hearing is something plumbing related. You're bathrooms are probably adjacent to each other and thus share the same drainage pipe, which might be causing some sort of drain-back noise.

It's highly unlikely the guy lives by his toilet with a stopwatch waiting to flush whenever you do

Sounds like somebody with a serious OCD problem.

You are presuming I don't know the difference between the sound of someone freshly flushing from that of a related drain back noise.

Sorry. But that ain't correct.

And I quickly discarded the possibility of him tryin to mess with my head when I used the head to dispose of some mess.

Besides, he wouldn't need a stopwatch. Just the determination and commitment to establish some form of toilet - based communication.

But he doesnt do it three times in succession. Just consistently. Now, I'm gonna try flushing even though I don't have to really go...wait a sec...brb

Nothin.

But I DID hear the sound of a souped up car outside racing it's engine then peeeling away.

Hmmm...

Wow, he knows you're on to him. Now's a great time to place a hidden camera while he's away.

You know what, for the first time since I don't know when, it didn't happen ONCE today.

I think you are right about him being wise to me. If I secreted a camera in his place I might see him nude and someone might say we were in love.

No, when you hear his toilet flush, what you are hearing is the water from the commode going down the drain pipes. It's highly possible that due to bad/old plumbing, the movement of your waste water is causing suction on his commode which in turn causes a sound just like that of an actual flush. Drain back noise will sound exactly the same as an actual flush if both you and your neighbor's commodes share the same drainage pipe in a close proximity.
