Does anybody else hate automatic flushing toilets?

They always flush before you're ready for them to.

While it's nice not having to touch stuff - they seem to flush more than they have to - wasting a lot of water !

Not as much as porta potties, outhouses, or the woods.

They don't bother me.

Im convinced that the sensor on urinals is a camera waiting for the first rumor of a shake to activate. Quit watching me pee! ?

I don't like them either, and I will tell you why, Mea.

They never let me see my own turd and take photos, so I don't like them either. Sometimes I really drop the mother of all turds, and need to upload it to the internet, and send it to loved ones. But those freaking automatic toilets always break my art into pieces.

Sometimes I get lucky and it clogs up the toilet, and I can take my picture to add it to my collection, which is pretty cool.

I like them so I don't have to touch anything, but yeah.. the flushing too soon is annoying. Lil creepy with a urinal cause a lot seem to flush while you're still standing there and finish pissing, like they somehow know.

At least they take care of people that dont

You can say that again!

A great way to ensure the water bill is going to be 3 times what it would normally be!

They have them at Fidelity in Merrimack, NH where I worked a few contracts. Started getting into the bad habit of not flushing anywhere else.

My office has automatic toilets. I'm cool with them. I'm okay not touching something everyone else has touched.

Although, there are times at home when I wait for it to flush then have to remember that I'm not at work.

If the are working right they are fine. I’ve been on some, every time you took a breath the damn thing flushed! Like ten times while you’re sitting there getting your butt sprayed! ? Also, you have to be very careful not to drop anything into the bowl. If you do, It’s gone!

2

I haaaaate them. I leaned forward to graphics toilet paper stop flushing aaaah the sprayyyyy

2

Not as much as i hate assholes that do not flush.

1

They have them now where the lid closes after your finished.

That would be so much better! One of the reasons I dislike public toilets in general is because they generally don't have lids that can be closed before flushing.

1

Nope. They never flush at the right time!

1

So being motion triggered, I have an advantage it seems over some of you. I have a wide derriere, so it never flushes until I'm done and standing. If the stall is small enough I either have to leave the stall or manually flush it. LOL.

2

LOL! We put tape over the sensors at work so put students don t get scared. I am not too crazy about them either.

sigh

I don't like them because I turn around and take a moment to ponder how I'm assimilating my food. Sinking? Lots of bubbles? Is fiber doing its job? I'm not picking it up and checking, but I look. You can tell a lot about general health by looking...

... I feel a little bit bad about myself now having admitted that... then again, you've gotta look! So, PSA...

I also look and dislike auto-flush for that reason. I almost bled out twice in my 20's. Since they had no idea why after the first time, I was diligent and caught the second time sooner but still... The first time I was in Juneau, AK. The second time I was in Vancouver, BC which is why I'm still alive.

I used to travel extensively for work and most airports and lots of businesses have autoflush. I lost my first Blackberry in the Chicago (ORD) airport - I banged the holster on the stall door and it executed a perfect dive into the bowl and Autoflushed to oblivion.

Yes! You should find Demetri Martin's bit on automatic bathroom technology - hilarious!

No I hate the faucets. They never come on when you need them to.

Yeah and they shut off while youre trying to rinse your hands off... Then have to stand there, waving your hands in front of the damn things looking like a jackass in order to get the water to come back on...
I hate those damn things with a passion.

2

Hate. The feeling of being trapped in a box while this waste receptical showers you with an aggressive flush has always unnerved me.

1

Not a fan, especially when they start flushing while you;re still seated!

Never experienced thst one. Sounds very awkward!
