Automatic flushing toilets are out to get me

January 9th, 2009

Right at this moment I worry about the safety of my ass. How am I suppose to go in to the bathroom and feel comfortable doing my business? If you move the slightest bit away the from the flushing sensor *whoosh!* it’s flushing and you’re getting wet.  I’m definitely not exaggerating the real flushing horsepower of this toilet.  The water is moving so fast it splashes out of the bowl and onto an unsuspecting user.  So that means you can’t lean forward or stand up or move at all.  Once that sensor is set there can be absolutely no movement, none(I hope I’m clear here).  I’ve often arrived at the stall with some sort of cover pre installed over the sensor so obviously other people have this same problem.

Today I didn’t bring anything to protect myself against the sensor.  Usually by the time I arrive the situation has already been taken care of.  I managed to flush the toilet four times in a matter of minutues.  It was a frightening experience!

The bathrooms at my place of employment to the untrained eye may seem inviting and clean.  However, underneath the shine there is a complicated and scary world to traverse for the weary worker in need of some relief.

    Although you seem to be taking this situation seriously, it is even more serious than you understand. Water splashing out of the toilet is just messy. Imagine if it accidentally flushes with you sitting on the toilet, your ass creating a perfect seal. The powerful vortex of water rushing down the drain will require that air is pulled in to replace the displaced water (it’s a law of physics). Your ass could be violently sucked into the toilet and through the sewage system, not unlike a golf ball through a garden hose! Laugh if you will but have you notice any missing co-workers lately? Perhaps this toilet is how they get rid of employees who waste time pondering the meaning of life while on company time. – Food for thought
