Flushing the toilets here in the UK is traumatizing.

Seriously. You pull the handle, and do they flush? No. A little splurt of water falls. You've got a big pile of crap floatin' there and you just pump the freakin' handle time and time again and nothing flushes. I've stood there for ten minutes and nothing happens. It's the most frustrating thing - seriously - I've ever experienced.
