Automatically Flushing Toilets and Spontaneous Combustion

In case you were wondering, no, there was not an accident involving fire and a toilet that I witnessed today.

While automatically flushing toilets are nice, I hate when they don't work. When I'm sitting there taking care of business, I don't want that thing to flush if I make the slightest movement. I could do with out the cold refreshing spray caused by this action. Even worse, it happened twice....then, when I was finished, and left the stall, the bugger didn't flush, so i had to hit the magic button to make it work. At least they're no more automated than flushing, I'm pretty sure I couldn't handle it if they were.

Next, How would you like to live here? I pointed it out to Bryan, and after a quick google search, he came up with this page. It does a good job listing some facts about the area and investigating some possibilities which might cause the type of fires seen in the village.

Automation in toilets should definitely be based on pressure plates and timeouts rather than visual sensors.
If your auto-toilet is already based on those things, you might have a configuration problem. :)
