The stupidest thing ever

Ladies and Gentlemen, I hereby present you the stupidest thing in the whole World:


I ask, who is that retarded inbred dweeb, who can work at a multinational, market leading tech company, but cannot flush the toilet after taking a dump?

That IR sensor there has the following functions:
  • Flush when you're finished (works under laboratory circumstances without any problem).
  • Give you a shower down south if you lean a bit forward because you're wiping or playing on your smartphone (writing an email counts as playing w/ phone, in this case).
  • Prevents you from using it if all the urinals are taken. You need to wait or go to another restroom. If you still plan to use it for number 1, you'll have to cover the IR sensor for 10-15 seconds with your palm after finishing to make it believe someone was sitting there and the thing needs a flush.
  • If your dinner last evening was plentiful, one flush will not be enough, since its a water saving low-flow fixture. See previous bullet-point to overcome the obstacles.
I understand the sudden urge to be economical, environment friendly, cutting edge and technologically advanced, but common sense should play a role as well! It's enough already that I find myself sometimes holding my hands under the tap at home wondering why there's no water coming out of it... Then in about 5 seconds I realize that I'm home, there's no sensor and I have to open it manually myself...

But anyhoo, congrats, Mr. Architect!
(Probably the same person, who's responsible for the ping-pong tables!)

  1. hahahaha, I always thought about write a post about it. I couldn't be the only one to consider it the stupidest thing ever. :) Now I feel better. Although, after a couple of months using this thing I figured out there was a "camouflaged" button that you trigger manually. Look near the sensor and check if you don't have a small black button...
