Having changed the cold water meter, I decided to drain the water in the toilet to check the water meter. Pressing the button, I hear an exclamation:
-Close the lid on the toilet! You are welcome!- Screamed granny, the landlady, when I flushed the water.
- Yes, of course, I closed it! - Frightened, he lowered the toilet seat and lid.
And what is the reason for such a desire to close the lid in the toilet?- I asked her.
-Son, I worked as a nurse in the regional hospital in the 90s. In the infectious diseases ward. There they always provided instructions for newly admitted patients about the obligatory cover of the seething flow of feces and water.- The pensioner explained.
-Well, why should I do it? Tell me the bottom line and I rushed to the next application- I tried to push her into a short story.
-In our department there were patients with infectious diseases, when they go to the toilet in large quantities, they release "bacilli" into the external environment. If they wash them off with the lid open, then a powerful stream of water not only washes away the contents, but also lifts up a large cloud of microscopic drops, along with microbes and bacteria. The closed lid on the toilet prevents hazardous air mass from leaving the confined space. - Granny conducted an educational program for me.
-Therefore, even at home, I react sharply to an incorrect flush into the toilet. And I advise you not to neglect such an action! - It was not a young woman who declared.
Dear reader, do you think this is another story from an elderly person, or is it worth listening to it? After all, there is a note of common sense in her words.
