This is a thread where we all can ask questions about why some people have certain habits. If you have that habit, you can take a moment to explain your reasoning. If you have a question you have wanted to ask about people's behavior, but couldn't, here is the place.
I will start
Why do some people flush the toilet before they go, and then again afterwards? And I mean every time, not just that once when there is something in there that you want to get rid of before you business-down.

A co-worker explained that she flushed first because she was very uncomfortable with strangers being able to hear what she was doing while in the stall. If she didn't flush, she couldn't function to put it delicately

If she didn't flush, she couldn't function to put it delicately Isn't that more like flushing during? My lady walks in and flushes before she even closes the stall. We have hard plumbed toilets, so the tank isn't filling while she goes.

It may be different. I never observed if she sat down and then flushed or flushed and then sat down. I wouldn't have paid any attention if she hadn't brought it up one day when we were in adjacent stalls.
Maybe your lady has known someone or personally experienced something coming out of the toilet so she flushes to keep her ass from being bit by a snake or a spider.
OCD and some other things express in an unending variety of ways. Flushing first may just be her reaction to germaphobia. It isn't practical but it makes her feel better.
Another possibility is habit. Maybe she lived somewhere with poor plumbing and messy roommates and just got into the habit of flushing first. I do that at home because DH lets the dogs drink out of the toilet and sometimes the bowl is damn close to empty when you go to use it.

OK, I've got one: why do grade school teachers treat every one like a student - in that as a teacher they cannot tell the student the answer to the question - they try to lead the student to the answer? I know this works great in the classroom I get it. But really, why do they do this to EVERYONE. It can't be fun for them...
Example: me: Hey do you want to go out on Friday night? I can pick you up after work where do you want to go for dinner? Teacher Friend (who KNOWS what time and where they want to go): Well, what time you do you get off of work? me: Um, I'll be on the 5:05pm train just like always - which means I can pick you up at say 6pm just like always? .. so does that mean you want me to pick you up alittle after 6pm? Teacher Friend: yes, that will be fine. me to myself: and you couldn't just say how about 6pm? me out loud: So, where do you want to go for dinner? Chinese? Mexican? that new Mediterranean place? Teacher Friend (who KNOWS she wants to go to Culvers): We had Mexican last time. me:Um, OK, Chinese or Mediterranean? (I've tried the "well, what did you have in mind?" response - and it continues the same):
Teacher Friend: how about something different? me: OK, where do you want to go - I got nothing here. Teacher Friend (looking dissappointed): Well, how burgers? me: OK, I'm good with burgers. WHERE DO YOU WANT TO GO!!!!! me and teacher friend go back and forth a few more times until I correctly guess Culvers.
Ok, that's a little extreme - but all 4 of my teacher friends do this kind of thing. It's like a game of 20 questions. If you ask them a point blank question and they know the answer - they won't say it - you have to say it for them.

So, I guess this is the perfect time for a PSA - check your profile and make sure your email address is current. IF you ever need a password reset (which you can request on the login page) it will send the reset link to the email address in your profile.
If you don't keep that current, I can NOT change it for you.

weltschmerz, I'd recommend making a gmail or something. You could use the same thing you have now, but just @gmail.com. Because otherwise, you're screwed.

Tell them a suggestion to get together for dinner is not, in fact, a "teaching moment" and that you do not read minds (or that you're done reading minds, depending on where you want to draw the line). Maybe it's become such a habit that it has overwritten some of their normal adult social skills. They probably won't realize it's a problem unless it's pointed out to them.

Maybe it is just a force of habit, and you should phrase the question more like this... Hey, I know that you have a method for getting your students to discover the answer, but i know you have a preference and i don't want to dick around with this third grade bullshit. What restaurant do you want to go to? And then just stare intensely until they say the name of the place. Lol.

Teacher Friend: yes, that will be fine. me to myself: and you couldn't just say how about 6pm? me out loud: So, where do you want to go for dinner? Chinese? Mexican? that new Mediterranean place? Teacher Friend to self: So we are going to play this game again. Can't she ever make a decision. I will narrow it down for her to two. Teacher Friend (who KNOWS she wants to go to Culvers): We had Mexican last time. me:Um, OK, Chinese or Mediterranean? (I've tried the "well, what did you have in mind?" response - and it continues the same): Teacher Friend to self: Nope. She won't decide. I really don't want either of the choices she has given as options so will see if she is willing to step out of her comfort zone for once.Teacher Friend: how about something different? me: OK, where do you want to go - I got nothing here.

Welts-you might want to look into a password manager site. I use LastPass. It remembers your user email address/username and password for any site you use on a regular basis such as your email, YMAM, Facebook, Amazon, etc.. The only thing you have to remember is the username and password to log into LastPass. I have that written down and stored elsewhere in case I ever forget it. Seeing I have logged into LastPass daily for the past three plus years I pretty much have the username and password remembered. LastPass

One word. Splashback. Some people just want clean water just in case. Since the water is no longer clean when it comes time to flush, I create personal distance from the bowl so I am not splashed back on. Do others not? I think they would like to get rid of the little bits of the previous patron, that can be left in the bowl. Hence the flush before using. Especially with these newfangled low water usage toilets, that don't always completely remove the offending material. I'm guilty of the pre-flush at times.

OK, I've got one: why do grade school teachers treat every one like a student - in that as a teacher they cannot tell the student the answer to the question - they try to lead the student to the answer? I know this works great in the classroom I get it. But really, why do they do this to EVERYONE. It can't be fun for them... Example: me: Hey do you want to go out on Friday night? I can pick you up after work where do you want to go for dinner? Teacher Friend (who KNOWS what time and where they want to go): Well, what time you do you get off of work? me: Um, I'll be on the 5:05pm train just like always - which means I can pick you up at say 6pm just like always? .. so does that mean you want me to pick you up alittle after 6pm? Teacher Friend: yes, that will be fine. me to myself: and you couldn't just say how about 6pm? me out loud: So, where do you want to go for dinner? Chinese? Mexican? that new Mediterranean place? Teacher Friend (who KNOWS she wants to go to Culvers): We had Mexican last time. me:Um, OK, Chinese or Mediterranean? (I've tried the "well, what did you have in mind?" response - and it continues the same): Teacher Friend: how about something different? me: OK, where do you want to go - I got nothing here. Teacher Friend (looking dissappointed): Well, how burgers? me: OK, I'm good with burgers. WHERE DO YOU WANT TO GO!!!!! me and teacher friend go back and forth a few more times until I correctly guess Culvers. Ok, that's a little extreme - but all 4 of my teacher friends do this kind of thing. It's like a game of 20 questions. If you ask them a point blank question and they know the answer - they won't say it - you have to say it for them. This isn't a teacher thing. This is an A type who wants things their way and doesn't want you to know it. I have friends who do this, DH does it. I'm not playing 20 questions so we can pretend I want to eat the same thing as you. If you reject 3 suggestions I'm calling you on it.

So, I guess this is the perfect time for a PSA - check your profile and make sure your email address is current. IF you ever need a password reset (which you can request on the login page) it will send the reset link to the email address in your profile.
If you don't keep that current, I can NOT change it for you.
/psa That hotmail email address has been dead for years. I can't put my current email address in my profile because it contains my real name. I still use my Hotmail email account all the time. We had the option when it changed to Outlook to change it or leave it...I left mine. What I use for most boards is an account I set up at Yahoo years ago...rarely go to that one unless needed. As for passwords...I have this little notebook by the computer....screen names or IDs, passwords, security question answers, etc....for every place I've ever signed up!
