I used to have a job that had me traveling every week. A co-worker and I were at the airport on a layover. He got up and used the restroom and came out about 10 minutes later and sat back down at the gate. He then proceeded to say that once he started his business the automatic flusher started going off about every 15 seconds until he was done. "Now I know what a golf ball in a ball washer feels like", was his final comment.
Still makes me laugh to this day.

I don't get out much but the only things I've ever seen that auto flush are urinals. You didn't do your business in the wrong piece o porcelain did ya?

Sissy at Atlanta
Howdy,
I was somewhere in Atlanta. We had booked a room on line and the room was good enough but it was a really bad area. The cop we stopped for directions even advised us not to stay there and I was worried about having a car in the morning when we went to leave.
Mary found herself a little short of toiletries and there was a little strip mall that adjoined the motel so I snuck over there to shop rather than send her.
I was armed but I still had the creeps about the place.
It was cold, and before I could return I had the urge to process the gallons of coffee I had consumed while driving to Atlanta. The sign said "Restrooms".
I peaked down the dim, damn near dark hallway and saw the men's room at the end. I didn't like it but I needed it, so I cautiously proceeded to the men's room. Never heard anyone ,never saw anyone. Spooky quiet, quiet like only a winter night can be.
I finished, turned, zipped up and started back out through the dark hallway and the dang automatic flusher went off and scared the **** out of me. I ran half way back to MO and left the wife and car behind.
Well? Maybe all of that is not true. It did put me into a full run until I was back outside.
I need to get out more. Everything around here has a handle on it and won't go off until you pull the trigger.
Oh,yeah. watch the ones at the Science Center in St.Louis They think they are showers.
Thanks
Mike

If it's one of the little boxes attached to the piping, and not one mounted in the wall, drape a few sheets of toilet paper over it before you sit down, to cover the sensor. Usually works, and avoids the unwanted splashing while still seated!

About a dozen years ago in Germany, I found myself in need of a public restroom for a numero dos. All was good except when I reached for a courtsey flush whilst still seated. The seat had an automatic cleaning system activated by a flush, which rotated the seat itself around through a sanitizing cycle, which was enclosed in the hinge assembly. So the rubber/gel seat started turning with me on it. I had to stumble to my feet and keep my shirt tails from getting caught in the works. Still makes me belly laugh when I think about it - and I always check when I'm back over there...

Didn't you read the sign that says "remain seated until the ride has come to a complete stop"???

I like the auto flush commodes as you don't get the surprise from someone who didn't bother to flush.
What is irritating is the timed lights that will go out before you're done. Sometimes they're tied into motion sensors and waving over your head might turn them back on.
I used to have to work on both and an unpleasant job wearing rubber gloves and hoping they were enough.

Chump change. When I lived in Japan all toilets had push button butt washers. I was cleaning my bathroom one day when I rested my forearm on the control panel. I was busy so I didn't notice the washer arm deploying. Suddenly I was getting douched in the eyes. Hilarity ensued.

This thread brings to mind a joke.
Marie kept on Boudreaux to fix the outhouse as it hurt to use it. Well Boudreaux he couldn't find nothing wrong but Marie she kept telling him that it hurt when she used it. He looked all over and couldn't see anything-even to the point of bending over and looking down the hole. Well as he pulled up, his beard caught on a heretofore hidden nail and he let out a yelp. Marie looked at him and said "See, it hurt don't it?"

How about the bathroom that has
automatic flush
automatic soap
automatic water
automatic towel
a step on the door to open with your foot to avoid touching the handle..........
and then some germ farmer wiggles himself dry and walks out without washing and smearing his blek on the handle. SHEESH

Man, ain't THAT the truth!!
I have a Toto that fits like a glove, and flushes like the gates of Hell opening up. Ga-Whoooosh! Gone, gone, gone.
NOTHING stops this thing…
It features a special coating on the porcelain preventing streaking, and uses Bernoulli's Principle to achieve maximum material drainage. I saw a you toob vid of it dispatching 16, yeas, 16 golfballs.
It's been 6 months and no clogs with my Al Bundy style evacuations, my wife and 5 year who use TP like it's free and let me tell ya folks….. Go Toto!!
I hate doing my business away from home.

My irk is that they build the lid too low on the pot. Kind of like those two texans taking a whiz in a river. One said that the water was cold. The other said it was deep too.

Yup!
I bought my Toto from a plumbing supply house.
1 gallon per flush (works great, fills fast and is quiet).
Incredible flushing power.
Rim-rinse design that really swirls well.
Bernoulli inspired trap design.
Tall seat (my legs are at 90deg. and I can stand easily).
Silent, soft-close lid contoured like it is custom made.
$525 bucks and worth every penny! I set all of them myself so I saved $125 per install on that.
I put a bidet on the master bedroom unit. If you try one you'll buy one! No more bleeding, no more irritation. Never wipe dry

It's been 20 years since I was in Australia, but back then they had great toilets. They were noisy, but they had a big hole in the bottom, and seemed very powerful. I think you could have flushed a football down one.

Hopefully to spare someone else the embarrassment of being escorted out of Home Depot...those toilets there in the aisles are meant as display units only. Looks like they could put up a sign or something...

While on a family trip, we had adjoining rooms, both with "power washers". Upon discovery, my grandson proceeded to raise the hotels water bill by $400.00.
