A woman is fuming with her husband as he never flushes the toilet when he gets up in the night. The man explained that he does not flush in the night due to environmental reasons as he doesn't like to waste the water. However, she is fed up of finding stale urine in the loo when she gets up in the morning.

The wife went onto say that whenever she gets up in the night she will always flush so does not understand why her husband cannot do the same but he claims this wakes him up and she is being unreasonable.

Taking to Mumsnet, the woman explained that she does not want to budge and she wants her husband to start flushing in the night.

In the forum, the Mumsnet poster wrote: "My husband always goes to the toilet (No.1) in the night and doesn’t flush.

"I’ve asked him repeatedly to please flush as it doesn’t wake me or the children up and I find it really disgusting to find wee in the toilet in the morning."

She adds that he does this for environmental reasons and it is not just because it might wake people up.

"Me and the children rarely go to the toilet in the night but on the rare occasions we do I always flush after," she said.

"He says this wakes him up and I’m being unreasonable. I don’t want to budge and think he’s being unreasonable."

In response, many have been torn by the post as some say he should flush in the night while others agree with the husband's stance.

One person wrote: "I think if it doesn’t wake anyone up then he should flush."

A second person added: "I'm with you, it's disgusting to come across someone else's wee."

While another stated: "It’s a ridiculous waste of water to flush away every wee, and much worse if you’re the kind of person who feels compelled to flush a load of chemical cleaning products each time too."
