They should have issued a warning

[wvjules]

So I go to the bathroom, stand up and hear "whoosh". They installed automatic flushers without warning anyone! I was startled. Good thing I was in the bathroom because I almost peed my pants.

Oh, and you barely have time to get off the toilet before it flushes. I've never seen a flusher so fast before.

The first thing I do when I take my younger daughter into a public washroom is look to see if they have those. She is terrified of them and she is so little that if she shifts her body even the slightest bit the toilet flushes before she is done.

When DS7 was younger and still being "potty trained" he sat on one that was automatic. It flushed and boy did he jump . I comforted him as I explained to him what just happened. Of course, I couldn't stop laughing as I was explaining to him. Automatic flushing doesn't bother him anymore except when they are extremely loud (can't blame him, I can't stand those either).

My DD 9 is still scared of auto flushing toilets. We call them scary potty. I keep post it notes in my purse so I can cover the sensor for her.
