I used to believe, like many others, that I had to get far away from the toilet before it finished flushing. Our bathroom was very small but the sink was seperated from the toilet by a short partician. I would flush, pull my pants up then run out of the bathroom as fast as I could. I would sit outside the bathroom until the toilet finished making noises then return to wash my hands. I have no idea why I did this.
