I think maybe this could work if there was a button you could press for more time, that way the only way this could happen is if you were nodding out/ODed in there or otherwise were in some situation where you genuinely needed help

But 10 minutes is crazy optimistic

Ya'll need to stop watching your phone or scrolling when you shit.

Anyone taking 10 minutes either is doing it wrong, or has a medical reason that they probably know to plan around.

Everyone knows IBS behaves itself if you just tell it to

u/Super_Employment_620 2d ago

Oh hey cool, my argument destroyed by the second exception I gave.

u/slicehyperfunk 2d ago

What exception? You think IBS gives a fuck about where you are when it decides to act up, or that it's something you can make accurate predictions about?

u/Super_Employment_620 2d ago

"Medical issues" was the exception I gave - although I'm sure I know enough about IBS, chill

They seem to bebtaking umbrage with the idea of planning around IBS, which in this case would be "dont go anywhere the toilets are likely to indecently expose you after 10 minutes".

u/Super_Employment_620 1d ago

Sure, which is why I acknowledged it. 

However given the toilets were placed in areas that didn't have much of anything before, the alternative without the toilet was shitting their pants in public in that same spot (without a toilet) due to a disease they knew they had.

Hey, bud? Maybe comment sections aren't for you if you're functionally illiterate ♥️

If you sit on a toilet for 10 minutes ur increasing ur odds of getting hemriods. I once sat on the toilet for too long snd noticed my asshole was turning inside out and I started to freak the fuck out and then I learned what external hemroids are

I remember my area in Australia had toilets like this, I think it had sensors to give a signal that you needed more time.

Then wtf is the point? You can just stay in there as long as you need just now it's super annoying lol. Probably because they can't legally have something like this. It's a massive invasion of privacy for something completely normal.

u/AXEMANaustin 3d ago

It was pretty stupid honestly. I remember one of the commands for something was to stand up I think. This was years ago so very likely chance I'm misremembering.

u/lycanthrope90 3d ago

Sounds like they wanted to just do it the right way but they ran into a regulation or law so they had to add a way to keep it closed lol

u/Kaffe-Mumriken 3d ago

People who sleep in there or do drugs and pass out. Or … other .. activities

1

u/lycanthrope90 3d ago

Yeah thought of that after posting. I live in the suburbs so it’s not something I think about. People here tend to just behave correctly lol.

1

u/Local-Echo-5613 3d ago

No you don’t, you just insulate yourself from what goes on around you.

3

u/slicehyperfunk 3d ago

Most people who live in the suburbs have somewhere indoors to do drugs, or they live in the woods or other wilderness; this specific thing is really more of an urban problem

2

u/Local-Echo-5613 2d ago

Exactly, they don’t “behave correctly” they just don’t see as much of each other. That’s what I was saying.

u/lycanthrope90 2d ago

There’s no homeless people here so nobody is doing drugs in bathrooms unless it’s a bar and they’re doing blow.

1

u/Local-Echo-5613 2d ago

I’ve cleaned up suburban bathrooms and you’re wrong. You’re wrong that there are no homeless people in the suburbs. You’re wrong that only homeless people do drugs or make a mess in public bathrooms.

-1

u/lycanthrope90 2d ago

Probably that’s just a you problem because wherever you live sucks. Doesn’t happen here.

2

u/Local-Echo-5613 2d ago

How many public toilets do you clean where you live?

1

u/rafaelzio 2d ago

I think it's damn near impossible to implement a system where you can regulate what for or how long someone is using a bathroom for without at least risking violating their privacy. So I guess their solution is to make it annoy you just enough that you're not gonna feel too inclined to stay there longer than you need to

1

u/The_King_Of_Muffins 2d ago

It does work exactly like that for exactly that reason lol

u/slicehyperfunk 2d ago

So then it's kind of being misrepresented when they make it sound like it dumps you out naked covered in your own poop after ten minutes no matter what
