No premature flushes that way.<br /><br />My pet peeve is when the guys spray all over the toilet like a fire hose.

It's those stupid low volume flush things that never work. By law, all toilets now have to be low volume. It irritates the daylights out of me to have to flush a "green" toilet three times to get a little wad of paper (and that's all) go down. The metaphor is that government mandated planet saving initiatives are like low volume flush toilets...they don't work...in fact they often make a problem worse...but we continue to sing their praises anyway because they mean well.Grammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13357022356191536282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14242496.post-87301051882563661572010-09-10T11:35:31.150-04:002010-09-10T11:35:31.150-04:00What Bekah said about kids and those toilets is sp...What Bekah said about kids and those toilets is spot-on. I will likely never forget the look on poor Miss Em's face the first time she used an automatic flusher. I think we were at a rest stop on the way to somewhere and I never even thought about it. <br /><br />I thought Em would never sit on a toilet again. <br /><br />I'm not a fan either. While I don't like the germ factor of having to flush for myself, I also don't like the thing flushing at random times.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09297412590929141055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14242496.post-10869964432873965562010-09-10T11:03:00.541-04:002010-09-10T11:03:00.541-04:00This post cracked me up!

And I hear...from those who have small children...that the automatic flushers scare whatever was not previously gone from the children...out of them. <br /><br />First time I ever used one I think I screamed. Now I love them. It's hard to do the high kick flush-with-your-foot in a tiny stall.Bekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08455200539913180050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14242496.post-66878841183297302042010-09-10T06:31:44.803-04:002010-09-10T06:31:44.803-04:00It IS a wonderful title!

I had a hotel room once with a toilet that not only flushed automatically, but the seat was prewarmed and it had a rinse and blow dry feature...I kid you not. Talk about personal. I guess it was a toilet-bidet combo. I would submit it takes the metaphor a step further. My toilet experience is a metaphor for the growing attitude that we don't expect to take responsibility for our messes, and that unnecessary amenities are are becoming part of our entitlement package.Grammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13357022356191536282noreply@blogger.com
