In honor of Halloween, the toilet in my office building has become possessed. As in, it will not stop flushing if there is anyone in the stall. It is one of those auto-flush jobs that is supposed to sense when you are finished and flush then, but it’s on super mega hyper overdrive and whenever you’re in the stall at all, it just goes berserk with all the flushing.
It was a hot topic in the office today. At one point, someone said without a trace of irony, “the building is really getting into the spirit of Halloween this year, I guess.”
In addition to the possessed toilet, the old-enough-to-be-my-mother woman in the office next to mine wore BRIGHT ORANGE pointy patent leather knee high boots to work today. Halloween in corporate America, folks.
Our auto-flush toilets also flush quite frequently while they are being used. It’s really obnoxious, especially because they are vehement flushers that often spray water when they flush.
Also, do you think that woman bought bright orange leather boots just for Halloween? Because that’s a big expense. But if she has them to wear on non-Halloween occasions, that’s even scarier.
I hate auto flush toilets. Either they flush before you’re finished or they don’t flush at all and you end up waving your hand frantically in front of the reader to get it to do something. Anything. *sigh*
I hate those toilets too. Such a waste of water. And they turn into bidets! Which is no fun for anyone not from France.
