That indeed is understandable as well. In my area, almost all public toilets have the auto-flush feature though.

The problem isn’t that it’s a thing, it’s more like it’s ignorantly engineered. It’ll auto-flush just as soon as you get up, or even so much as reach for toilet paper, even though everyone knows people need a moment to wipe…

So like, why not have a minute delay or so on the auto-flush feature?..
