Worst Things About Auto-Flushing Toilets

Sometimes it flushes mid-use, other times after you just sat down, or before you even get to sit down. It rarely flushes after the users stood up and were finished with their business. - anonygirl

It's funny how many people suggest that keeping your penis away from the sensor solves the problem because I don't have a penis. - anonygirl

One time I stood at one of these and zipped my pants down and the thing flushed. - Mcgillacuddy

A solution for this is to cover the sensor with a sticky note. - anonygirl

Because everyone always brings sticky notes with them to the bathroom - Mcgillacuddy

You'll be lucky if a button was there. - anonygirl

I always look at these toilets waiting for them to flush, then I give up and press the button for it to flush. Then it flushes again, AFTER I ALREADY FLUSHED IT. - Cesium

Yeah I know, it hate it when all that dirty water with bacteria goes up my anus, this can even happen to manual toilets too.

If you press the handle while you're sitting, it could. At least with manual toilets, you can control if you want your bottom splashed or not. With auto-flush, you cannot. - anonygirl

Whenever I use an auto-flush toilet, I try not to move if I can so that it does not trigger the sensor and flush while I am sitting on it, which gets my butt wet and the water is usually dirty

That is especially terrible if it flushes mid-use. - anonygirl

That's why I pick my butt up from the seat when it flushes - Mcgillacuddy

When I was little my all-time fear was automatic toilets.

I used to be frightened of automatic toilets (and I still kind of am now even though I know I will not go down the abyss) when I was little as well. The reason why I created this list is because I was scared of them as a child. - anonygirl

When I was a child, I was so scared of them that I thought every toilet was auto-flush even if it was not. - anonygirl

My little friend's teddy bear got flushed down one of those toilets.
Then he cried every time he sat on the toilet. >:(

I wonder how a teddy bear is big enough to go down the abyss. But yes, that is pretty scary. - anonygirl

You need to have a clear pee!

I don't necessarily like doing it, but some people do.

The darker your urine is, the less hydrated you are. - anonygirl

This can apply to manual-flushing toilets as well. - anonygirl

That's already on the list. - anonygirl

Some people stand up to wipe their bottoms before flushing. Since most automated toilets flush before you're even done, you do not have a chance to stand up before you wipe. I am not a stand-up wiper, but a lot of people are. - anonygirl

I mean most people are not too lazy to flush a toilet. - anonygirl

Some of them might have a button - anonygirl

OOF TRUTH - Cesium
