When I was about 9 I was at the house of a family friend and they had just had renovations and I decided to go the toilet in the extension.The first time i went and I flushed it, it made a funny noise so after that, whenever I ever went to the toilet there I never flushed the toilet as I thort the renovations werent finished and all my business would just land in their pool. I'm pretty sure they knew it was me that wasnt flushing!
