You can hear toilets flushing? Yuck.

The worst part is hearing a toilet flush and watching a co-worker walk out seconds later.
Oh you haven't heard two flushes followed by the sound of someone dipping their hands into the bowl, followed by splashing and rubbing. And then a manager walks out and makes suspicious hand movements towards you before you skedaddle
Everyone poops. There's even a book about it, though most people read it as a toddler.

Now, if you frequently hear a flush without hearing the running water from the sink, that's a problem.

I think you missed the "seconds later" part. Even if they run water after flushing, they haven't done it more than a second or 2, and thus have barely gotten their hands wet. They haven't even come close to cleaning anything.
Shit, good point. Me no read good yesterday.
No, the worst part is that you're standing in the kitchen when this happens.
Hopefully, the other toilet noises are quieter.
