You're familiar with those automatic toilet flushing devices? The ones with the sensors and probably a little black button so one can flush the thing in the event the sensor does not work? Probably a good invention because Joe Schmo and Josephina Schmosephina sometimes don't flush that #2 bomb which now lies in wait for you the next time you open the stall door.
But sometimes such well-intentioned technology can go awry. That little black button in case of emergencies for example: totally pointless! When has that button ever been necessary? I suppose we need to take a poll on this point. Also on the following situation: I was, you know, sitting on the commode, doing what needed to be done, and then gathered the necessary TP to clean up shop and did standard lean on the left cheek elevating the right and...*flusssh!*. Yes folks, that's right, NOT DONE WITH BUSINESS, UNPLEASANT SPLASHING, *flusssh!*. Not once, not twice, but at least three times before finishing up: *flusssh!*. *flusssh!* four times?
I couldn't help but thinking to myself: Are these things really saving water? But i guess that is not the point of such devices. The point of such devices is to protect you from the bomb, which i still experience on a regular basis at other less technologically equipped locations. Am i grateful about being protected from the bomb? Probably so. Especially when i think about the fact that i have probably been spared from more bombs than i realize, not to mention nuclear fallout.
Still, i prefer the two-button option where the #2 button option is rarely if ever needed. I also like the two-directional green handle, though think that the #1 option should be the down direction, not #2. It makes the water-conscious people do all the work and the uninformed unwittingly use more water than they need to or might otherwise.
This would be a good idea if it weren't for the noise pollution factor. I'd take it over triple or quadruple flush surprises that splash the tooshie:
