Ah ha! Now that I've lured you in with an intriguing title, I can talk about whats really on my mind, autoflushing toilets...whats the deal with these things?
All you have to do is enter the stall and close the door and all of the sudden its flushing. There goes one gallon of water. Sit down, it flushes again, there goes another gallon of water. By the time you get out to the sink, the damn toilet has probably flushed a solid five times. With the industry standard being a gallon per flush, thats five gallons of water!
Where the hell are the green freaks when you actually need them? They're all about conservation and all that other nonsense, so why in their literature do they never mention this? Perhaps each little event of a flush doesn't occur to them, but multiple flushes for multiple people across multiple business? We're flushing tons of water, unnecessarily.
Now honestly, I really don't care that much about the green movement. Some things just make sense to do, but some are just a waste of my time. But, what about the business, don't they care about all the money they are literally flushing away? Water may be cheap, but come on, that's still a lot of water.
The other issue with these stupid toilets is this, it'll flush half of a dozen times when I am in the stall, but by some act of God, there is always something in the bowl when I walk in! Nine out of ten times, I have to manually autoflush the damn toilet! How does this happen, seriously?
