    I’m glad they have them .
    There are nasty people who refuse to flush after use .

    I worked housekeeping at hotels for a decade. After I was done with that industry, I had no choice but to realize that a great deal of the population feels flushing is optional. I always shuddered to think about what went on in their toilets at home if this was the way they left them publicly.

    Actually I’d have to say the automated sinks are the absolute worst part of the experience of using a public restroom in my opinion. I have yet to find one that has a continuous water flow until all the soap is washed off my hands. I always end up flailing my hands all around the sensor and under the tap to try to get the water to turn back on.

    Yes! Followed by flapping like a maniac in front of the auto paper towel dispenser.

    Do you make a dance out of it?

    Yes it’s called the pee pee dance.

    I could, considering so many public restrooms have music blasting to conveniently camouflage other noises.

    In America we decided that we weren't going to let people linger over their anal waste so the automatic flushers were installed.

    And it helps prevent logs from being in the background of bathroom selfies.

    Hmmm. I guess that makes sense. Perhaps because of the cultural difference, I find it strange that you'd want to linger in the toilets for long at all. And even stranger that you'd take pictures in a toilet. I suppose you learn something new every day :)

    Try getting a young child to use the toilet, the automatic flush goes off and scares the crap (maybe literally) out of them. Seriously my kids are scared of the noise now.

    My work center has automatic motion-detection lights. Walk in, they see you and turn on; after you walk out and there's no motion for a certain length of time, they turn off to save power.

    Unfortunately, if you happen to be in the stall behind closed doors for a few minutes, the motion sensor may erroneously think you have left the room and turn off the light. Makes it hard to read the newspaper...
