do you want to ride the wave? |
|
|
Ours does a good job of splashing the seat every
other time it flushes. |

// homeowner// What if we are renting the house? Does the landlord get to do this to drive us out? |
|
|
I have a theory that toilet splashback is caused directly by
Satan. |
|
|
Similarly, what if you have a mortgage? Presumably the control unit would be held by the bank? |

UK toilets are a different shape to US ones - the former only contain a little water at the bottom of a reasonably deep "well", while the latter have great shallow "pans", presumably to facilitate arse-splashage and the close inspection of unusual stools. |
|
|
It would be difficult to even notice a wave in a UK toilet, so I don't see the point. It might serve as an annoyance to someone sitting on a US toilet though, to have their bottoms dampened by an unseen hand. |
|

...and then of course there's the strange foreign toilets which have a little shelf for you to deposit your offerings on, to better facilitate their close inspection.
[zen] "to have their bottoms dampened by an unseen hand" - some people pay for that. Apparently. |

this would entertain the cat for hours. |

|
This is really just a remote controlled bidet, right? On the market in Japan for years now, I'm sure. |
|
|
US toilets are rather notorious for getting you wet,
and not from the flushing. I'm not certain why we've
maintained the water-wasting shape we have. |

It's being so far from civilisation that does that, [Rayford]. |
