Why is it that I have this isane irrational fear of self flushing toilets, especially the ones that you have to sit down on. Well actually maybe its not so insane. I mean if you think about it they are pretty freaky. I mean your sitting on them doing your business and then all of sudden they flush and scare the heck out of you. Like some ghost just whisked by and flushed it on you. I don't know what you all think but that is some pretty freaky stuff if you ask me.

LOL! Never encountered a self-flusher before, but I don't think I'd be too keen on them either! I imagine it'd scare the crap out of me. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

ROTFLMAO!!!! You can't imagine the mental picture I had of a ghost on a toilet! LOLOL!!!

*still chuckling* and, yes, I'd find it pretty freaky as well. Not to mention you'd probably get splashed on.

What really freaks me out are the toilets with the built-in "bedet"...rather than use T.P, you pull the "other little lever" and a stream of water comes rushing up at you. WHOOO freaky! I about leapt across the room when I was in a hotel once with one of those things and I thought I was flushing! They had to explain to me what it was at the front desk.

Saz - The thing about those bedets are that they are cold water only bedets, LOL, I can imagine if you didn't know it and thought you were just flushing, hello! AaAAAAHHHH! I feel defiled! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Personally I'm not all that much for bedets, only because I question the purity of any water spewing from a toilet, but that's just me. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Same thing with self flushing toilets...urgh...maybe they dont want you to spend to much time in there.

I've come in contact with a self-flushing toilet once. I couldn't find the flusher anywhere, and when it flushed it scared the beejezus outta me!
