Why would you flush while peeing?

The only thing this seems to accomplish is to leave plenty of your own pee in the urinal for the next person who has to use it. Is this like a "dogs marking their territory" thing? I can't think of any practical explanation.

my dad always does this and I don't understand it. He'd use the bathroom beside my room while I was growing up and I'd hear him in there...the toilet flushes but the pitter patter continues.

Maybe to mask the pitter patter sound......

It's a game, you always go for the tie.

some people have "shy bladder" and have trouble getting a stream going, supposedly the sound of running water often does the trick. however, reasonably, one would also flush when one was finished.

Shared a house with a guy after college that did this. Made me insane. Still.

Ha, my mom always gets after my dad for doing this. Always. I've always wondered why you wouldn't just wait until you're done to flush. I guess my dad is a serious offender because he actually ends up flushing twice most of the time. :?

It's a sort of urinary dyslexia.
