auto-flush toilets

I so hate them. Ok, dislike, not hate. You lean forward for any reason, or even just shift a bit, and all of a sudden your butt is being spritzed with fecal-matter contaminated water (or, maybe just urine-contaminated, but it is still annoying). (Auto-flush urinals aren't nearly so annoying.) Ok, occasionally there is one that is, actually, properly adjusted/tuned/calibrated that it actually only flushes when you are done and stand up -- but this seems to be the rarity, not the usual case. And, really, we're not making a hygiene savings, cause after we touch that flush lever/button we're all going to wash our hands, anyway.

So, why am I writing about this? Well, QNX has just recently moved to a new building, and all the toilets are new, modern, that is auto-flush toilets. And the last two times I've been to the toilet, the auto-flush sensor has been covered... the first time by a yellow sticky-note, the second time by paper towel propped up on an almost-finished (institutional-sized) toilet paper roll. Apparently there are others that don't like the auto-flush in the new building. I'm thinking that sticky-notes should be standard go-to-the-bathroom equipment, now.
