There are two stalls in the bathroom on my floor, and both have automatic flushing. But the one on the right is miscalibrated, so it flushes every time I lean to wipe, which is really annoying. So the one on the left is my favorite.
If it’s a sensor flusher, and you’re able to hang a piece of TP over the sensor (like it’s not built into the wall or anything), you can do that to keep it from flushing when you’re not ready.
Then when you’re all done, just remove the TP and toss it into the bowl for the auto-flush as you’re walking away.
You can hang them on the in-wall type too. Just wet a small spot on the tp (don’t use toilet water, ya gross), and stick the wet spot to the wall. It’ll adhere and drape the tp over the sensor.

Ah, yeah, you mean the puddle in the gas station bathroom that I never seem to notice until I have a mysterious wet spot on my pants and have to walk around with what’s probably somebody else’s slowly-drying body fluids on my leg?
Excuse me while I burn those pants and bathe in bleach.

Since I WFH 95% of the time, and have installed life-changing washlet bidet this year, I absolutely try to avoid the solid waste process while away from home.
But if I’m in the office and it can’t be helped, there’s a stall way back in the back of the restroom on my floor. It’s out of the way, so no one can just casually walk up to it without you knowing or having reaction time. And the door closes completely with no side gaps as well.
Due to odd building geometry, the handicap stall in the ladies restrooms off the main lobby is bigger in sqft than my assigned workspace. I think of it as my “more private office.”
I work from home and we only have 1 bathroom so…
I used to but they are awful now.
There used to be a nice one in the “abandoned” lobby after they built a new part of the building with a new lobby. That all got renovated for more work space.
Then I used the one in the upstairs offices because no one worked up there but now it’s just as crowded.
Now it doesn’t matter they’ve done poor renovations on all the bathrooms and they are all full all the time. The worst part is the urinals they chose have some weird curvature to spray piss everywhere no matter how you angle your stream.
Luckily I go home for lunch and can usually do my business there.

I hate this. Why can we land rovers on Mars but not figure out how to design a toilet that doesn’t splatter piss on us?
We’ve got 4 toilets in my floor, but only one gets a barely functioning 3G signal.
This is for Stall Action: There are 4 stalls.
Almost every guy takes the stall closest to the door, so I never take that stall. Since almost every guy takes the first stall, I never take the second stall cuz, eww.
The fourth stall is the handicap stall. While roomier and equipped with handlebars should the need arise, I do not use this stall.
Therefore, the third stall is my unloading port of choice as it seems to get the least use.
Got one that has good wifi signal.
I work in an old steel mill. My dept, the rod mill has a horrible bathroom and it’s heavily used. I’ll urinate there, but for other duties, I’ll take the 100 yard walk to the main locker rooms with nicer, quieter facilities
I have a favourite one at home. The only one.
Yeah, there only single person bathrooms where I work and it depends on the action I plan to take. Peeing I’ll do any of them, but pooping is reversed for the one in the corner, away from everything and everyone and it always has plenty of spray.
We used to have a separate floor for receiving visitors and giving presentations. The toilets there were a cut above the rest. Soft lighting, solid seats, and the thing I loved most of all: heated water coming from the sink faucets 🥰
They were a joy to use, but after Covid they repurposed and remodeled the floor. Now the toilets are worse than on the other floors.
Those heated faucets will always hold a special place in my heart :)On a tangent, …
tldr: Hot water tends to majorly influence home/office energy use.
tl: Since living with rooftop solar here, I have noticed just how much energy is often drawn because of warm water. As in, in this house, you can see very noticeable usage spikes in the solar app whenever someone showers or washes dishes. I’ve completely given up on washing my hands with warm water and have reduced the amount of water I shower with. We’ve also started using the electric kettle for heating water because it means you usually only heat up about as much water as you actually need and the kettle has a pretty uniform 2kW power draw (which helps make it work on solar).
Obviously, there are different systems for heating water but one way or another, they tend to use a lot of energy and heat more water than necessary to higher temperatures than necessary. Unsurprisingly, other major energy wasters that most of us come into contact on a daily basis are also all about changing temperatures, namely home heating, AC and gas-powered motors (aka drivable heatings).
*sigh*
Of course you’re right that using heated water for washing your hands is a bit of a wasteful luxury. I just had some good memories of that bathroom.Thanks for not shouting at me for the hijack comment.
Oh please, I’m not going to shout at someone for being passionate about water heating :)
It’s not like I had such an important story to share anyway, don’t worry about it.
We have a lobby for visitors. Naturally, it has the nicest bathrooms. I work night, when we never have visitors. It is definitely the ideal place to take a poop.
