-Poor original/incorrect original Plumbing waste line installation.

Why when you empty your bath water does the toilet bubble and water comes up into the shower?
Because the two pipes are connected, and the shower is farther down the line than the toilet. So when you flush, you are hearing the water from the toilet pass by your tub. This is also why you will have sewage in your tub if your waste water line is extremely backed up.
