They have just installed automatic flushers here at work. I hate them! Sometimes I like to go in and sit for a while, you know? If you move a freakin’ inch, these mothers flush! And my ass gets all wet!
That is all.
Tell it sister.
Worse is when they DON’T flush, and all your bodily fluids are sitting there for the next patron to enjoy.
Ugh.
Preach.
I’ve danced a little jig to try to get that thing to flush. It’s also not too embarassing to have somebody walk in the bathroom while you’re swinging the door open and shut in a futile effort to trigger it.

I had a buddy that worked at Disney. When he visited he never flushed the toilet because all the toilets at Disney (living quarters, everywhere) were auto-flush. Said he just got out of the habit.

Hmmm…
It would appear they’re dammed if you pooh, dammed if you moan’t.
We have them here and I hate them too. Our bathrooms here are always too dark (I do NOT need mood lighting in a public rest room, thankyewverymuch) and wiggle the wrong way, splash city. But there is a way to flush them if they didn’t go off on their own. Near the front “sensor” will be a dark rubbery spot about the size of a pencil eraser. Press that spot and the flusher activates.
Anyone else read the thread title as “Automatic flashers SUCK!!!”?
I was scrolling fairly quickly though this thread, and this post didn’t really register until I had scolled past it. When it did register, I said to myself, “that’s gotta be a lieu post!” So I scrolled back up, and sure enough…
Autoflushers blow - they go off when I’m sitting there and blow water on my ass.
Suction toilets suck - They suck intestives out.
Okay, where’s that barfy smiley when you need it?
EWW!!!
It’s really fun to go home and forget that it doesn’t have the automatic flush.
At work, we also have automatic sinks that start when you pass your hand under the faucet. Nothing like Mr. Kat coming home and catching me waving my hand under the tap and cursing out the sink for not starting! :smack:
I forgot to mention toilet plume, which also seems appropriate for this thread.
Ah! Here’s another one. Automatic lights in toilets.
Now, I don’t know about you, but whilst I’m sitting on the throne as it were, I’m not exactly hyperactive. I sit there, and do my business. Now, some of those light sensors at my place of employment are so damn insensitive, you practially need to dance the fucking hokey-pokey to get them to re-engage after they do their one-minute-without-movement-means-shut-off routine.
I dunno about you, but when I’m mid-turd, the last thing I wanna do is jump around waving my arms.
And shitting in the dark is just plain weird.
There’s a button on top left you can press to initiate the flush cycle. Took me 5 years to figure that one out!
I know someone who accidentally dropped their keys in a toilet as they were sitting up. Then the automatic flusher flushed before they could retrieve their keys. That’s a pain in the ass.
I’ve gotten used to the auto-flushing toilets, but now the restrooms at work have auto-dispensing paper-towel dispensers (wave your hand, paper towel comes out).
Geez louise, how much lazier can society get???
So Coldfire, now you know the answer to: how do blind people know when they’re done wiping?
It’s not about lazy. It’s about not wanting to touch anything that’s exposed in the bathroom after washing your hands.
I hate the paper towel dispensers where you have to push the lever cuz I know that there was probably some super-creep who pissed on his hands, didn’t wash, and then just worked the lever to get a towel to wipe the piss off his fingers.
Indeed. And there’s nothing worse than finding a wet door handle when you’re leaving the crapper. You always wonder just what that liquid might be. Bleah.
