I’m sure they can’t be there to ‘save water’, as they auto flush as soon as you stand up, knowing good and well you still gotta wipe your ass and flush again anyways…

Okay, but that still doesn’t answer why would you do that while the toilet is auto-flushing?
It’s unavoidable with these damn things, just so much as reaching for the TP triggers them to flush, getting my junk wet with toilet water. And they flush with the power of a pressure washer, meaning water is spraying everywhere in the bowl.
Act like I wanna get my hands wet trying to wipe while the damn thing inevitably starts the auto-flush… F all that, just let manually flush when I’m done.
I’ve never experienced the toilet auto flushing just from me leaning over. Maybe I’m just lucky that all the toilets I’ve used have been properly calibrated for use, and yours haven’t for some reason.
My experiences are the same as yours. The only time I’ll get an auto flush while sitting is if I lean forward too far
Define ‘too far’…
For these toilets around my area, you’d have to be Stretch Armstrong and literally stretch your arm out to get some TP without triggering the sensor.
Yeah I tend to agree with the comments saying it’s probably something of a calibration issue, but they all seem to do that ☹️
AquaVantage with Zurn wall mounted sensors here, if it counts for anything.
It’s been hit and miss for me. Sometimes I’ll lean forward to get circulation back into my legs and it’ll flush. Other times, I’ve had to press the little manual flush button before I leave the stall.
Oh, okay, I get you. Yeah these damn things here are set on a hair trigger, so to speak ☹️
Whereabouts are you? Different countries have different porcelain setups. What toilet are you using where your junk is over the water input? Do you have a magnum dong and balls?
What pisses me off more about toilets like this are the auto-off taps, they set the auto-off almost instantly. So you need to be pressing it down with one hand whilst doing some sort of meditation-esque ‘one hand clapping’ to clean the other. What do I have, three hands? Prob not an issue for you, as you can just hold it down with your magnum dong.
I’m in the USA, Gulf Coast area. Most of the auto-flush toilets around here have no tank and a wall mounted optical sensor. But if you’re not sitting pretty much upright (as in leaning forward to get some toilet paper), the stupid sensor will trigger.
And it’s not even so much about the size of my package, it’s about the water pressure. When they flush, it’s about similar to a pressure washer, which ends up splashing water all around and up into the bowl. I’m pretty sure it would even get a lady’s bits wet with toilet water with the pressure they use ☹️
Ahh I see, it’s like a nasty unwanted bidet. An unwelcome germ shower across the entire backside, nobody wants that!
I mean, it’s the internet, someone somewhere probably wants that.
Those taps have an o-ring inside which is supposed to slowly release giving you time to wash your hands. When they turn off immediately it’s because the part has worn and needs to be replaced.
So it’s not a cost-saving, water-reducing exercise, merely lack of maintenance? Interesting.
