Well thought why we were on the subject of toilets. We just had those automatic toilet flushers installed in all of our bathrooms at work and I must say I hate those things! I always have trouble getting them to activate. I'm always waving at it and making sounds that might set them off but never works half the time. Also they go off when you don't want them to. I'm always touching the toilet this way and that trying to set it off. Lol any ideas on how to use these silly devices?

What is up with all these subjects about toilets? Most of the auto toilets that I have encountered have a little button above or below the censor so if no flush I simply leave it or depending on what was left behind I leave it. On the subject of them going off when you don't want them. . most have anywhere between a 20 second to 120 second time release.
weird topics today. . . .
Texas Tech yehhhh
lol I had heard about them but was first introduced to them when I was in a restaurant in florida last year. I kinda stood up and all of a sudden it flushed! I'm just like "um, I didn't do that!" Lol haha
I agree with the second post in that, there are usually sensors that go off soon after you finish. What I found more frustrating is the automatic on function in the water faucets. I learned that the sensor is in the kneck of the faucet; the part that comes up out of the sink itself. If you move your hands in front of this window, the water will come on.

I hate automatic toilet flushers because whenever I'm doing my business in the stall, the damned thing doesn't even wait until I get out; and since most public restrooms don't have lids, the freaking water splashes on my pants.
Iew. Talk about nasty. lol I hate going to public bathrooms because they all have them now. I'll just flush my own toilet thanks.
Lol soon they'll be having automatic wipers! Lol
I think I heard that China already has automatic wipers.
Let's hope none of these bathroom designer/rocket scientists comes up with any other pre-flushing ideas.
I'm getting annoyed with the paper towel dispensers that you have to wave your hand under, to get a frickin' paper towel. They put those in recently, at the fitness center my mom and I go to, and their so annoying! Every time I want a paper towel, I can't get the stupid thing to give me one, and, when I dont' want one, (while I'm still washign my hands, for example), it gladly let's one out.
I think all of this has to do with being in compliance with the ADA, but make it easier on those of us who can use our hands and arms!

Well, if it is in compliance with the ADA, we can't discriminate against those who can't use their arms and hands. so, it's just something we have to get used to. It's easy to get annoyed, but you have to think how you'd feel if you couldn't use the limbs that you can. think of how it would be to not be able to use your hands or arms.
I hate both automatic flushers and the automatic sensors that supposedly turn sinks on when you want to wash your hands after you've used the toilet with the automatic flusher. Invariably, I'll stick my hands under the faucet, nothing will happen, and only when I have started taking my hands away does it suddenly turn on. UGH! And on the subject of automatic wipers, I used a bathroom at O-Hair Airport a couple of years ago that automatically spit out one of those sanitation towel thingies onto the seat after the toilet flushed. Creepy.
Yeah, it is creepy. I sometimes get the feeling that someone's watching me do my business and then when they see I'm about to flush the toilet they do it for me; maybe the public restrooms have some kind and caring undercover workers lurking in the walls somewhere always ready to press a button to flush or turn on the faucets for us. Creepy!
Lol or a mystory ghoast! :) scarey!
Here in the states I think it's in the job description for homeland security "watch the bathroom and flush for the blind guy!"
Actually, I hate those lousy hand dryers that blow out enough air to halfway dry your hands then stop. I usually hit the button three or four times out of spite.

The auto fawsits I've used really arn't that bad. The only thing is how do you get them to distingwish between hot and cold?
