I Feel Emotionally Neglected in my Workplace - NoCV

In my place of work, we are three staff members and one supervisor. The supervisor is basically the one running the office, even though he is not the owner. Any issues we have, whether we need new equipment or something needs to be fixed, we report to him and he takes it up with the owner. Recently, we requested for new seats, and the supervisor agreed immediately. Everyone was happy. Encouraged by this progress, I also made my own request. I asked for a new toilet. That was where the problem started. The supervisor refused. According to him, it does not make sense for them to get a new toilet just because of me. Apparently, my request was unreasonable and excessive. You see, the issue is this. When everyone else uses the toilet and does a Number 2, there is no problem. Everything behaves normally. But when it is my turn, once I flush, my own usually goes… and then comes back. Sometimes, it comes back immediately. Other times, it waits. At times, it can even return five minutes later, when no one is expecting it. I have tried to understand the science behind it. I have tried different flushing styles. I have tried flushing with faith. Nothing works. So when the supervisor dismissed my request, it affected me. I now feel emotionally neglected. It feels like my comfort does not matter. It feels like my struggles are invisible. I am seated comfortably on a new chair, but living in fear of the toilet. Please tell me, am I wrong to feel this way?
