The most interesting topic today was toilets. Yes toilets, to be more specific: public toilets and their functioning. DJs (David Jones) have the nicest toilets apparently. That was the starting point. Some toilets are really high-tech, with touch sensors which only require a “soft” touch of the finger to activate it. The worse are those which come with automatic flush, especially in Singapore Airport, where when one cubicle flushes, the REST flushes.
I hate wet bums, worse if you are like *anonymous* and half squat on the seat and before you are done, the sensor activates, sending expletives like *LE MA!* echoing through the corridors of the ladies. See it is not US that voluntarily use up more toilet rolls…it is the system installed.
Ever stood at the sinks they have in toilets and wondered how on earth to get the top to turn on feeling stupid all over? The first time I went to SALT toilets, for the life of me I couldn’t find the tap head, and I was S O B E R. I wonder how they expect a tipsy person to ever know that the way to get the water running was by stepping on this pedal-like thing annexed to the floor below? But come to think of it, it WAS a half-drunk girl that showed me how to use them…she must be a regular!
I like sinks that come with automatic sensors where you just have to put your hands under the tap and the water would flow, those are really hygienic. Melbourne Uni Sydney Myer Asia Centre toilets must be the most hi-tech ones in Carlton, completed with touch sensors for everything! And they must think BLACK toilet doors would avert the budding activist or story writers from leaving their mark.
Five girls, Starbucks, no classes; well, Pariss’s house next time would have readily identifiable tap heads for one! *gRiN*
