Having cleaned toilets before, it's because a startling amount of people don't flush. In a high school, I'd say about half the kids from the 1980s didn't, so I can't imagine they started as adults. In companies I have worked for with auto-flushes, I have rarely seen a mess left in the bowl, but companies that don't about half the time as well.
True that, and I totally respect the idea of auto-flush, but I also feel it's ignorantly designed and poorly implemented.
Why are many of them so sensitive? Around my area, most of them will flush while you're still sitting down because you reached a few inches for the toilet paper.
Why are they so quick to flush? Why not put them on a one minute delay timer to give people a moment to wipe? Plus that would often save an unnecessary extra flush for the used toilet paper.
Or just set the auto-flush on a sensor on the door lock instead, that way it flushes when you leave the stall, not the moment a stupid sensor thinks you stood up.
You might be interested to skim over the rest of the comment thread, I think it made for an interesting conversation haha! ๐ฝ
