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...

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.
