A few months ago, I came up with this 'commode theory'. It is basically a personal experience that has got me thinking and linking to life.
You see, the flush tank in my room is a very moody one. At time it functions with a single push of the button. At times, I have to keep the button pressed. At times, after the flush tank is emptied, it keeps leaking and there is a whole lot of water wasted, by the time I realise it.
Anyhow, the commode theory is about the commode! The basic premise: Shit does not always get flushed properly! This depends on a couple of factors, beside the 'quality' of shit! At times the flush tank isn't sufficiently big. Sometimes the commode itself is not designed well enough to utilise the pressure of the flush tank's water. Other times, the plumbing isn't done well.
Not everyone pays attention to this. But I'm sure everyone experiences it! However, not everyone needs to know this. Neither is there any harm in everyone knowing this. Some who know this apply the knowledge in selecting the type, model of commode. Most just don't bother, as long as there is a flush tank and a commode! Perhaps the engineer or the plumber is one who actually needs to have the best knowledge about it, but it could also be that he isn't using one (I mean, a western commode!).
At times, the ones who reflect about this, can do nothing about it - because the commode is already in place!! One only has to find hacks - like me - to make it work, the best it can!
So the theory itself? Shit happens to everyone; but not everyone thinks about it. And not all those who do, can or need to do anything about it!
