It’s never happened to me….
Its because you cant afford to sit your a$$ on an automatic toilet.
I agree!
The key is putting tp over the sensor, works every time.

So apparently there is a 160% chance of the toilet flushing?
BAR GRAPH FAIL!
If the toilet flushes multiple times while a person is doing their business, then it is possible.
HAHA that is exactly what i was thinking
9_9 It’s evaluating separate probabilities. While you are in the middle of your business, you have a 60% chance of the toilet flushing, and a 40% chance of the toilet NOT flushing during this time.
In a separate, unrelated event, there is a 100% chance of the toilet flushing during the time in which you are getting toilet paper.
The probability of a flush during one event does not in any way affect the probability of a flush during the other. Thus, the separate probabilities do NOT have to add up to 100%.
Probability fail!
Let me guess, you’re that guy who needed more than 360 degrees on his pie chart.
I once had to catch a duck in a restroom. Duck kept jumping in the toilets and setting off the automatic flushes, good times!
Okay, no one has replied to you yet so I just HAVE to. How did a duck get there in the 1st place? And why did YOU have to catch it? There’s a very good story here & I want to hear more. This would’ve been hilarious to watch & having a catch a duck once myself (outside in our yard), I know how hard it can be. I had to end up stepping on his neck to get him.
OMG, stepping on his neck?
I work in a theme park and was working outside the restrooms one day whilst the park was closed, when someone approached me and told me there was a duck inside the female restrooms. Not knowing which department to seek for my duck emergency I decided to tackle the problem myself. It was very difficult as the duck kept flying off and smashing into the ceiling. Eventually I came up with the ultimate plan to corner it in one of the cubicles, unfortunatly there was a gap under the stalls big enough for a duck, but not for me. I had to use sanitary bins to block off these gaps. The duck was still putting up a fight, jumping INTO the toilets, I decided this would be my best chance to catch it as the space was so limited, managed to get my hands around the ducks neck and held it’s wings down with my arms, carried it outside and set it free, unharmed but slightly disorientated.
Goddamn how I hate auto-flushing toilets. If they’re that concerned about being sanitary, why not make it so the flush is activated by a button on the floor you press with your feet?
Because there are stupid people out there who won’t bother pushing it. That’s why auto-flush was invented in the first place.
They ought to make it based on a pressure sensor in the seat, instead of a motion detector. Or else have it rigged to the stall door so that when you re-open the door, it flushes. That way, you don’t waste nearly as much water. (I’ve been in auto-flush restrooms before and had the toilet flush 3 or 4 times while I was in there.)
Pressure sensors in toilets: welcome to Europe. ^.~
They’re pretty cool.
i’m sorry, i don’t sit on public toilets. and i know very few people who admit to it in the first place. so why sensor in the seat?
Ummmm.. Hi my names Simon and I sit on public toilets..
Being someone who hates auto flushers I do see humor here. My experiences with them is they flush everytime you move except for when you want them to flush.
I must be cursed because auto-flush toilets NEVER work for me at any point in the process of me using one. I always have to use the back-up button or handle or whatever.
I dunno, for me it usually happens when I’m trying to get the stupid toilet seat cover onto the toilet. It’s like every time I put one down, the toilet flushes. I went through like three seat covers every time I went into one of those things, so now every time I go to an automatic flush, I have to act like I’m diffusing a bomb to put the seat cover on without the toilet immediately flushing it down. GAH!
Thanks for letting me get that off my chest.
Sadly this is the most relevant chart I have ever found on this site as far as my life is concerned.
At work the toilets flush repeatedly while you are on them. Finish, stand up–no flush.
Ridiculously badly-engineered.
You forgot “While pulling pants down”! I suppose that could be “In the middle of doing your business” but not really…
They spoil you for other restrooms!!
Most automatic toilets have a button you can press to manually flush the toilet. I don’t mind early courtesy flushes as long as I am able to make sure it flushes when I’m done.
Those that don’t have the button are extremely frustrating.
Weird- I was just thinking of creating this same chart this morning!!
i find the use of the “doing your business” euphemism on this graph kind of charming!
Wow, that is so true!
I love that my university retrofitted almost every single toilet on campus to ones that were auto flush in order to save water (we’re in a level 4 critical drought with no relief in sight), but I’m pretty sure they had a quadrupling in water use.
Don’t know about anyone else, but I don’t really like having a moist butt thanks to the splashback from auto flushes…
I wish the automatic flushers would wait like 10 seconds after you’ve finished so you can be out of there as soon as it flushes.
