Self flushing toilets ..

    Dam foreign airports ...

    Automation is great .. put it on all the urinals .. maybe the taps .. all sounds like a great idea. Just don't put it on the toilet flusher! Some jobs require more than one flush. You should have to get up off your throne and wave your hand around trying to trigger the senser which might flush the jacks for you so that you can get back to business!

    Put a bloody flusher on the bloody jacks like any normal person!


    Rant over.

    seems more hygenic though... no germ covered buttons or toilet flushers to press... toilet gets flushed, which some people are too lazy or do. On a seperate rant its amazing how people can't use toilets properly or just leave them in an absolutely disgusting condition

    Yes .. toilets need to be flushed .. that's fine ... tie an additional sensor into the door lock or something if you must ... but for christs sake let me flash the beers and kebabs out of my system when I dam well choose and not block up the jacks! Don't you agree?

    You were either Amsterdam or Boston???, shítters there are such a pain in the hole.You are backin up to unload a steamer,and as you "assume the position" and press the walnut......WHOOOSH


    WTF:eek::eek::eek:.... the load is driven back up the sphinct with the shock.

    You then figure out the situation and crimp off a good solid thick coil,then stand up and "WHOOSH" away she goes again!!!

    For fcuks sake I can flush it myself,poke it down if neccessary.

    Get a frikken grip here.

    Automatic lights in jacks is another thing. We were getting a presentation in the European Container Terminal in Rotterdam after a heavy nights beering and stuff. One of the boys falls asleep on the throne, wakes up in complete darkness with pants around his ankles.

    Lightswitches FTW.

    I'm confused? More hygenic?

    Surely you flush and then wash your hands? :confused:

    Maybe you should have just pushed the little black manual button thats on all those auto flushing crappers.

    A train in England had one of these sensor flushing things. It would not flush no matter what I tried. The smell was terrible.

    Of course you wash your hands... but the flusher button gets touched by a everybodies unwashed hands, i'd rather not physical touch something like that when theres a high tech option

    its the 21 century, toilets need need more high tech upgrades... :pac:

    Most public shítters nowadays have the cistern boxed in,for security reasons.

    One has to vent ones frustration in other ways :cool:

    i wholeheartedly agree. some things man was not meant to toy with and manual flushers are one of those things

    so how do you get out of the cubicle? you still have to turn the lock, so the automatic flushing really doesn't help... (unless you leave the door open?)

    I hate that in public toilets the way the main door always opens into the jacks. You use them, wash your hands and then have to touch the filthy germ ridden handle with your clean hands to pull it open.

    I might be a germaphobe but seriously it should be possible to hang the door the other way so you can push it open with your foot when you're leaving.

    Toilet paper for the handle on the way out. Or give the door a kick on the way out.

    Off to Japan with ya so.

    I too am against over automating the crapper. Over in America there recently there was one where it went off once you got off the jacks. So there I was hovering over the jacks with the job done when I realise no loo roll. No bother theres some more on in a roll at the end of the cubicle. Lean over ... away she flushes. Now I have to wait till the cistern refills before the rotten paper can be sent the way of it's big brother.
    Meanwhile the gent next door has obviously been on the booze the night before smell horrendous and me waving me hand in front of the sensor which I may add is quite fecking close to the loo so I get an extra whiff.
    Eventually she flushes away and I'm free. Wouldn't have happened here in Éire total control over flushing mechanism.
