Automatic Flushing Toilets

They are everywhere and it makes the courtesy flush more difficult.
To the engineers that designed them, thank you for forcing us to listen to the after-lunch burrito blowouts from our co-workers.

It's a restroom. WTF did you expect to hear? A string quartet?17 -

what do you actually GAIN from a courtesy flush?
It's a 'I know what you're do-ing' sound and wastes water.
We eat, therefore we poo. get over it.
ps. the Japanese have taped flush noises so you can press a button rather than wasting water10 -

I have always thought that the idea behind the courtesy flush was to not sit there on a bowl full of fecal matter filling the restroom with the scent of your own waste.13 -

Actually, the flushing spreads the fecal matter residue all over everything5 -

As a woman, I’m going to say no to automatic flushing toilettes. They sometimes assume you are done, does an automatic flush while still peeing, and suddenly I’m being showered but not in the good way
For this reason, I avoid public restrooms like the plague. 3 -

Maybe this is one way to get @caco_ethes to shower6 -

We have auto-flush toilets in my office, and frequently the button doesn't work even if you can twist in such a way as to hit it.
But the smell of feces is nowhere near as annoying to me as the number of people talking on the freaking phone and now it's hard to flush and drown out their conversations.2 -

I read this as "Atomic Flushing Toilets" and thought we'd finally entered the age of the Jetsons but look here, another day and another disappointment. UGH.4

I have less issue with the poop, and more issue with the savages that pee all over the seat. Lift the seat or use the urinals. If I knew who it was, I would go pee on their chairs.4

They’re all good and everything until they don’t flush or they do flush while your still sitting down!1

When I'm having an ibs episode I'll courtesy flush, sometimes 2 or 3 times. Not so much to cover the sound (or smell) but because I've managed to clog the toilets a couple times, and I'd a million times rather someone think I'm just being paranoid, than trying to outrun a clog in a public bathroom.1 -

agreed! No one likes to get unexpectedly sprayed
All in all, I hate all the automations in bathrooms. Toilets, sinks that don't start when you are trying to wash your hands, can't get the stupid soap out. I guess it it helpful that people aren't leaving the water on and stuff, and supposedly cleaner, but I would rather be able to wash my hands than worry about touching the faucet2 -
generally those auto flushing toilets have a pretty visible sensor on the back of it somewhere to detect when you're sitting or not. if you just hang a strip of toilet paper over the sensor it'll block it and won't flush accidentally anymore.5

I read "atomic flushing toilets." Set myself up for serious disappointment...2
