ABB washrooms
The toilets flush WHILE YOU'RE STILL ON THEM! Something needs to be done about this!

I hate how a lot of automatic toilets flush when you move in the slightest - such a waste of water.

They should change the sensitivity and placement of the sensors.

I'd be more worried about the flurry of toilet water invading my nether regions. |

hahaha you guys crack me up. And yes, it's REALLY ANNOYING. Especially when they go off as soon as you stand up. Never had one flush while I was still sitting but I'm sure it would be super uncomfortable  |

it is not fun to have contaminated water splash up at your "nether regions". baaaaah oh the many times it's happened.
here's a trick:
grab a few squares of toilet paper, create a little hole in the top, then cover the sensor.
OR
you could just tie a long piece of toilet paper around the sensor itself.
these guarantee water-saving, and a 100% flush-free experience. haha

Oh the ABB washroom is definitely not the only one. Wow, myoozik I didn't know people figured out a solution to this problem. I miss the old days when we had to flush the toilets ourselves.
