    When I visited America, I encountered toilets like this and they scared me to death lol I thought I had done something terribly wrong

    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.

    Sometimes automatics have problems

    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...
