My daughter didn’t check the toilet after she flushed it right before bed. It was in a back bedroom that nobody else really goes to. It ended up flooding overnight and I didn’t discover it til the next morning, when I found my kitchen flooding from the ceiling. It apparently wasn’t from poop though as I didn’t see any fecal matter around (unless it was in the ceiling that got torn out). Whole kitchen ceiling got torn out, along with the floor of the bathroom. Not a huge amount of damage, but the most the house has sustained… so far.

Who does?

I think the implication was that she wasn't aware of whether or not the toilet finished flushing.

I have one toilet that flushes quickly, and I can usually tell that it's finish flushing by the time I've finished washing my hands.

? Are the toilets usually slow where you live?

The toilets here take just a few seconds to flush.

Ah, you meant the refill. I don't know how fast that is. It's way slower than the actual flush though.

You can't be certain your toilet has completed a flush "safely" until it's finished (and stopped) refilling!
