I’m sure they can’t be there to ‘save water’, as they auto flush as soon as you stand up, knowing good and well you still gotta wipe your ass and flush again anyways…

You stand up to wipe your ass?
Some people sit, some people stand. Most of the time, neither side is aware of the other side’s existence, and also cannot comprehend how they manage to do it that way.
I can’t even reach for the TP without the damn toilet auto-flushing and getting my balls wet with toilet water. Why the hell would I even think to try wiping while sitting down?
Because it’s harder to reach my ass standing up. Plus, I don’t want my ass cheeks to come together and smear the shit around. Sounds like the sensitivity of the units needs adjustment.
Last time the great Sit Vs Stand Debate reared its head (on the site we left behind), iirc standers were in the minority, but not by much. I don’t understand the mechanics of standing to wipe.
Surely standing smooshes the buttcheeks together? Like trying to clean a window with the blinds down
It isn’t a full stand, just like a squat above the toilet. Asscheeks still very much apart, ready to receive paper.
I sit so this is just a guess, but I imagine they use one hand to hold one cheek apart, and the other to wipe? Otherwise yea I feel like it would make more of a mess lol
The mysterious world of the other side of the toilet stall… you’re sat there pooing like a normal human being, meanwhile in the next stall someone is stood over their own pants, pulling their bumcheeks apart one at a time for what could only ever be a half-wipe. Strange & inefficient.
Well I’m not sure how everyone else goes about it, but I’ve always found it easier to stand and wipe front to back, I dunno about all that sitting down sideways wiping stuff.
Probably helps that I’m a reasonably slender guy though, it’s not difficult or messy at all for me… 🤷♂️
Excuse me?
This shit just goes deeper and deeper. What’s kept wipe on, wipe off?
That’s probably why we need so many techniques.
Sitting makes it hard to properly position the paper without accidentally dipping it in the poopy water.
Gotta make sure the poo is smooth and even on each cheek before wiping.
I’m not sure if you’re trying to be silly or not, but how would a person wipe their ass while sitting? Especially on a public auto-flush toilet, where even so much as reaching for the toilet paper causes the toilet to flush and get my junk wet with toilet water…
I lean to one side, which lifts one butt cheek enough to reach my ass. Keeps the butt cheeks spread apart. I’ve never had one flush before I stood up.
Okay, but that still doesn’t answer why would you do that while the toilet is auto-flushing?
It’s unavoidable with these damn things, just so much as reaching for the TP triggers them to flush, getting my junk wet with toilet water. And they flush with the power of a pressure washer, meaning water is spraying everywhere in the bowl.
Act like I wanna get my hands wet trying to wipe while the damn thing inevitably starts the auto-flush… F all that, just let manually flush when I’m done.
I’ve never experienced the toilet auto flushing just from me leaning over. Maybe I’m just lucky that all the toilets I’ve used have been properly calibrated for use, and yours haven’t for some reason.
My experiences are the same as yours. The only time I’ll get an auto flush while sitting is if I lean forward too far
Define ‘too far’…
For these toilets around my area, you’d have to be Stretch Armstrong and literally stretch your arm out to get some TP without triggering the sensor.
Yeah I tend to agree with the comments saying it’s probably something of a calibration issue, but they all seem to do that ☹️
AquaVantage with Zurn wall mounted sensors here, if it counts for anything.
It’s been hit and miss for me. Sometimes I’ll lean forward to get circulation back into my legs and it’ll flush. Other times, I’ve had to press the little manual flush button before I leave the stall.
Oh, okay, I get you. Yeah these damn things here are set on a hair trigger, so to speak ☹️
I can’t phase my hand into the seat, so yeah.
Neither do I lol. I lean to the side to lift one cheek.
Ah. There’s the difference. Standing up is easier/safer for me than leaning to the side.
