Toilets at work part 92384723

I've written about the bathroom at work a few times, mostly about my liking for handicapped bathrooms that locked so that I could take a nap. I no longer need to take naps at work because the paxil isn't knowcking me out, but it was pleasant anyway.

So at a lot of office buildings in Manhattan...at least the nicer ones, they have this super intense flushing system in their washrooms. I think they are designed for massive dumps. There is no trace...no clogging....no nothing. They are sucked down.

Now, the bad thing about these toilets is that they are motion activated...ok...well...I guess that could be a good thing, but well...this is what happened to me at work today.

I had a black shirt on with a skirt and a need to pee after lunch. So in I go and sit down and for some reason I move my torso a bit further away from the motion detector to rest my elbows on my knees.

KAFLUSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH


It felt like a cherry bomb had exploded in the toilet. The entire bowl shook and I jumped a bit from shock.

Anyway, I guess the moral of the story is to not move when you're sitting on a toilet that has a motion sensor activating flushing system and you're wearing a black shirt.
