Talking toilet orders German men to sit down

[olena]

BERLIN (Reuters) - A German inventor who developed a gadget that berates men if they try to use the toilet standing up has sold more than 1.6 million devices, his business manager says.

German women fed up with a man with a poor aim can turn to the ghost-shaped gadget, which lurks under the toilet rim and, if the seat is lifted, declares in a stern female tone:
"Hello, what are you up to then? Put the seat back down right away, you are definitely not to pee standing up ... you will make a right mess..."
Alex Benkhardt, 46, invented the "WC Ghost" and its creators are in negotiations to market it in Britain, Canada and Italy.

My DF told me about this... I thought he was joking..

Now all we need is a talking garbage can "Hey you! Don't you know you need to take me out?" or maybe a talking laundry hamper " Nice throw. You missed again. Bend over, pick it up and put it inside"

Toilets in Germany are built different from ours. Here is a link explaining, with drawings of the difference in construction...
