I don’t mean what you use to chop down your feces, but an object that you realized only your family has and people would raise their eyebrows at. Best if said object has a sole purpose.

Because that is an absurdly long time to watch water run when you’re not using it for anything. I feel like “turn off the tap when brushing your teeth” would be inherently obvious to people brushing the full two minutes.
What’s more likely to me is people brush for about 15 seconds and don’t bother turning it off because it’s such a short period of time.
I feel bad enough when I’m letting the tap run during dishes when it’s taking me a second to scrub something lol
I want a foot pedal for my kitchen sink so badly. I feel like it would save a lot of water and I’d never have to touch the sink with my gross hands I need to wash.
Ditto! Why the fuck is this not just how sinks work?
We had these sinks in my elementary school bathroom and I’ve only seen them in one other public bathroom since. I’m really not sure why it isn’t more common.
Get one of those swiveling heads with a shutoff. Game changer for sure.
It’s really not that long. I leave it on both as I’m brushing, and as I’m swishing mouth wash around. About 3 and a half minutes total. It’s not on purpose, it’s just because I don’t think to turn it off.
You’re wasting, proportionally, a fuck load of water
I hope you will think twice about it from now on. Not trying to be a lesson giver really, it’s just very important. The next wars are going to be fought over water and food. Where I live we have running water during 12hrs every three days, because of climate change and corruption (long story) so we have come to appreciate water, especially when it’s drinkable (it isn’t anymore, those 12hrs of running water are for other uses only).
If you’re used to it running, why would they have that thought? You’re making the mistake of believing the thoughts you have are commonplace. If someone doesn’t think to turn the water off after 30 seconds, 2 minutes isn’t that drastically different enough to trigger that thought.
