Poor toilet.. He should have used a poster of Raquel Welch to hide his progress of escape… He’s gonna have to shine a lot of the warden’s shoes now to pay for this costly error…

There’s a perfectly reasonable explantion here: before the advent of the electronic eye which flushes the toilet automatically, the fancier joints had a midget inside the wall who reaches through that hole and flushes your toilet for you.

I had a new toilet installed in a basement room that had a rough-in already. After they drywalled the room, the new toilet was too close to the wall according to city code (requires at least 6 inches clearance IIRC). Solution was to get a stool with a corner tank.

This installation would also not pass code. Not only is the flush handle in the wall, the basin also touches the wall.

I think this may me the most unique repair yet. I believe that is a motorcycle exhast.

This is the new flush designs.. Pull lever up for liquids and push down for solids. The hole in the wall is for your added convenience so you can push and pull simultaneously when there’s both

Ewww! Gag! I’m sick just thinking about how to flush it or use it.

I noticed that too. At first I tot someone made a huge mistake with the flusher, then suddenly, woah! You misplaced the toilet bowl too?

I really think re arranging the whole contraption is much easier than chipping out the tiles.

This will of course not be a classic ball of the foot in clogs or crocks flush. But, I’m pretty sure it could work, specially with pointy toe shoes/boots or potentially a heel hit.

I’m a long-time foot flusher when it comes to public toilets. It would take some doing and a size 4 or smaller shoe to pull that one off. I’d have to resort to a piece of tissue to push the handle. On the other hand (no pun meant), if I saw this mess, I’d have to pass (okay, that one I meant to use) and just hold it. The way that is set up, it all but guarantees people won’t flush.

I don’t think so. Every day, when I click the bookmark to this site, I get flush with excitement.
