Why is this even a thing in public restrooms? Automatic flushing urinals, I understand. You're literally touching your dick, and there's no toilet paper around to shield you from any possible grime. But toilets? Fine, but why do they have the shittiest caliberation? Oh, you appear to be like any sane hygienic person since your cheeks aren't being exposed to the whole toilet seat, so CLEARLY you're about to get up. God forbid you lean to one side to wipe since your hand obviously can't phase through thigh/toilet seat. But NO... obviously you're up know, so let me do you the service of flushing while treating you to a nice re-creation of Shamu's Splash Zone. You jump up in surprise and watch your shame drown away into the abyss. As your heart fills with discontent, and as your ass feels like spaghetti, you decide whether it's worth the effort to betray to your inborn instinct and wipe while standing up. Until we perfect it, should automatic toilets be flushed down the toilet? Dribble me with insight GAF.

Brah.... So much emotion put into this I can't even ridicule you. But ive never had a problem with automatic toilets so eh... I think they're God send. I don't have to use my feet to flush cause I don't know what kind of hand touched the knobs...

Do you plan on leaving the restroom without washing your hands or something?

 

[crazyprac]

Oh I wash. Then use paper towels to hold the door like a gentleman.

Lay a piece of toilet paper across the sensor and you're done.

 

[injurai]

If you wear a dark light absorbing shirt the sensor will basically get confused and will flush continuously.

yyyep

[Dice//]

Toilet water splashing on me sucks. Automatic sensors suck butt.

Some of those sensors are vertical, so what do I even use as paste?

 

[Surface of Me]

I was thinking the other day that it's a pretty sad society we live in that we cant trust each other to flush at the public shitting areas.

 

[DoomGyver]

You know what is worse? Jackasses taking a shit and not flushing at all because they want you to see their business.

 

[GavinGT]

I've never had this happen. They're the one public restroom sensor that works every time for me.

Automatic paper towel dispensers/sinks/soap dispensers, on the other hand? Now those are garbage. I wave my hand in front of the faucet like 10 times, finally trigger it, and then I get about five seconds of water. I thought 20 seconds was the bare minimum hand-washing time!

 

[Mistake]

Hey, it's better than the restrooms that have mirrors in front of the urinals, or the ones that have a downward bowl shape. I've been in a restroom with both and it's like a 360 view sausage party. There's not much you can do about it when you walk in the door.

 

[ElephantShell]

Automatic toilets don't bother me.

Automatic technology in restrooms in general though can be strange, mostly in where and when to expect it.

There's nothing quite like waving your hands in front of a non automatic paper towel dispenser to make you look like an moron.

Use some of your shit to cover it.
