Gross

Whoever invented the self-flushing toilet ought to be shot. The first time I saw one, I thought it was pretty cool--finally a toilet you didn't ever have to touch. You could hover to your heart's content, stand up, and voila! No flushing required.

Well, I've had a change of heart. The restrooms here at my office are all self-flushers, and poorly timed ones at that. Meaning WAY too frequently, you ain't through with bidness when the damned thing starts to gurgle. I suppose this wouldn't be so offensive if the act of flushing didn't involve some sort of backspray. Sadly, it does, and having been a victim of the backspray yet again today, all I can say is GROSS.
