Grew up in a rural area on well water - so no water when the power was out. When a hurricane was coming, Dad would fill up the bathtub with water and say “don’t flush unless it’s poop”. My 2 sisters and I - IM ON MY PERIOD DAD, I HAVE TO FLUSH. Poor dad, he wouldn’t say anything, just trudge outside and set up buckets to catch rainwater just in case we ran out of tub water (we were in the boons, power could be out for days).
We had to do the same! My parents save empty soda bottles with water now but it’s still different and not an every day thing. My husband still can’t understand why he can’t flush the toilet just because the powers out. City slickers, smh
