Thank you for the welcome.
I haven't seen one yet with a disengagement override that the user can easily access. It's not that hard to do, but not many people (besides myself) walk around with an allen wrench (the 6-sides thingies).
But you do raise a legit issue. The power-flush toilets actually kick up a fine mist of the toilet water in the air, easily over 6 feet in height and all around. You can't see the tiny water particles, but if you hold a cold mirror over the toilet, you can see droplets form after a few flushes.
There was a recent study that found fecal matter on most people's toothbrushes, due to their toilets' flushing in close proximity. Thus, I always close the lid of my toilet when I flush. That and fear of my 3 year old flushing my car keys down the toilet.
:wink: I feel that fellah.
This is completely true.
Why don't women shut the lid afterwards? (maybe they all do (!!!) & that explains the length of some toilet breaks - but I've never noticed).
Even walking into a toilet is like walking into a mist of other people's reprocessed dinner.
Then again, each & every bacterium, & lifeform, from cats, through to unknown quantum entities, are perpetually defecating, so why be so anally obsessed about it anyway.
Exposure to small amounts of shitty bacteria enhance your immune system.
However, if an alien came to this planet, apparently, she would advise you to " wash your hands in the toilet, & crap in the sink".
