A swivelling nozzle attached to urinals with a motion sensor. If the
motion sensor detects you leaving without flushing, you get a 5ml
squirt on your clothes of whatever happens to be in the urinal at the
time.

Uh, what urinals still have manually-operated
flushes? Surely they all either (a) have one of those
IR sensors or (b) in areas of heavy usage, are set to
flush at regular times? |

The local Greyhound/Amtrak station still has manual flush
urinals, as well as most fueling stations and restaurants. The
problem with automated flushing systems is the fact that they
encourage the habit of 'fire and forget', a habit which is carried
into places with manual flushing handles. Because toilets are
such a low-tech innovation and are found in almost every public
and private building, manual flushing will likely never go away
entirely. So what we need is a method to encourage folks to pay
attention to the sort of receptacle into which they are
eliminating and do the right thing. If you can't be arsed to make
sure your toilet will get flushed, then perhaps a spray of your
own leavings will motivate you sufficiently. |

So, it makes more sense to install a sensor, nozzle
swiveller and squirter than it does to install a flush
sensor? |

This could fit better in Public:Education:Discipline |

this system will, of course, occasionally squirt
children in the face with piss. Something of a PR
nightmare/triumph. |

Try Science: Health: Public Bathroom: Urinal. |

Gosh, really? Science? Well, ok... |
