Big Brother Is Watching You Pee

[elfs]

Apparently, the management of the building in which I work has decided that I cannot be trusted to flush by myself. All of the toilets, urinals and sinks in the building have been equipped with automatic flush mechanisms. I can almost understand this when the target audience is a bunch of semi-drunk morons at a sporting event or a bar, but don't they realize that equipping a building this way sends a message about the kind of people they're seeking to lease their space?

And, okay, I confess... I'm giving Morning Musume a second chance. Other members of the Hello Project, like Aya Matsuura, I really enjoy. So, why the hell not.

The Unintended Consequences of Low Flo Toilets

We have the opposite problem where I work. The toilets have the standard push handle to triggure the flush, but they are lo flo designs, mandated by environmental and water use concerns via the building code.

One routely has to flush them twice to, ahem, dispose of the evidence. Thus using MORE water than the old standard flush models.

For awhile, the janitors were putting signs up in the stalls, "Please flush away all waste".
