I’m sure they can’t be there to ‘save water’, as they auto flush as soon as you stand up, knowing good and well you still gotta wipe your ass and flush again anyways…
You stand up to wipe your ass?
Are you saying you stand up and then wipe your ass? Like/// really? Holy shit.
Apparently about half of people do this.
Half of all people in the world squish their shit tangling on their sphincter between their ass cheeks before they wipe?
It’s less than half.
There are also the people that don’t wipe at all.
Truly living on the edge.
Let’s not forget those that bring a cup of water and just rinse. shudder
There’s a technique to it which not everyone is skilled enough to employ.
Yeah, its called remaining seated until you wipe your ass.
Having cleaned toilets before, it’s because a startling amount of people don’t flush. In a high school, I’d say about half the kids from the 1980s didn’t, so I can’t imagine they started as adults. In companies I have worked for with auto-flushes, I have rarely seen a mess left in the bowl, but companies that don’t about half the time as well.
True that, and I totally respect the idea of auto-flush, but I also feel it’s ignorantly designed and poorly implemented.
Why are many of them so sensitive? Around my area, most of them will flush while you’re still sitting down because you reached a few inches for the toilet paper.
Why are they so quick to flush? Why not put them on a one minute delay timer to give people a moment to wipe? Plus that would often save an unnecessary extra flush for the used toilet paper.
Or just set the auto-flush on a sensor on the door lock instead, that way it flushes when you leave the stall, not the moment a stupid sensor thinks you stood up.
You might be interested to skim over the rest of the comment thread, I think it made for an interesting conversation haha! 🚽
We have the opposite problem where I live. The auto-flush barely ever works, and more often than not nowadays the manual flush is a tiny button you have to actively search for to find.
You can tell this isn’t Reddit because the bidet squad hasn’t shown up.

More sanitary not touching others poopy surfaces, and otherwise some people wouldn’t flush.
It’s that way, with no lid, to make sure everyone in there can breath each other’s butt COVID. And the air hand dryers are there to help make sure it happens. /s
Someone will smear shit over the flush handle. Either because they’re an asshole or because things went horribly, horribly wrong.
As someone who saves water at home, I feel wasting a little bit in the name of me-not-having-to-deal-with-someone-else’s-shit is a perfectly reasonable use.
Convenience and some people forget.
True that. But they could like put them on a delay timer to give me a minute to wipe and pull my pants up or something…
Back when I was a student, the auto-flush sensors on the toilets at my university were so sensitive that I could trigger an accidental flush just by leaning forward about 10°. Just the subtle variations in my normal sitting posture could sometimes trigger as many as five flushes before I even started wiping. It was so bad I started carrying a pad of post-it notes in my pocket so I could cover the sensor before sitting down.

One of those reasons is a bad one, and it isn’t the second one.

I imagine that number is so close to zero as to not even matter.
I used to say that all the time. But I’ve since learned humans will literally try to do anything and everything, so now I just accept the possibilities.
Thank you! Sir/Mam, if this place offered Gold awards, I’d give you one! But sadly it doesn’t, so all I can offer is this lousy upvote… 👍
