I'll Get You, Stall Number 1

Quite a while ago, I vented about the modern convenience of toilets equipped with sensors to automatically flush at the sign of any movement. Since then, I learned to deal with the excessive flushing. But recently, I changed my regular stall and am now regretting it.

My old stall of preference was stall number 3. My general impression is that everyone passes up the first stall (because who ever takes the first thing they see?) and usually opts for stall number 2. So, as a result, I used to take stall number 3 since I thought it was less used. But I was wrong. To my horror, I have often walked into stall number 3 to find used toilet seat covers still hanging on to the seat and urine on the floor. One too many times have I been burned with stall number 3 that I recently changed to stall number 1.

Now the problem I have is that stall number 1 doesn't flush enough. Whereas my old stall number 3 would flush when I got in the stall, once while I was going, and then again when I was done (I figured out how trigger it without manually flushing), stall number 1 will only flush once when I'm close to being done, and not again. It's the most aggravating thing to see toilet paper still floating in the bowl when I'm finished, and gives me no other choice but to manually flush the toilet by pressing on the idiotically small rubber button that's just an inch above the toilet seat.

I have now learned how to press, and hold, the little button with the corner of my shoe, using my talents in balance and thigh strength (I guess those one-legged squats I did in wushu really paid off!). While it's a nice little workout, I'm getting rather tired of it and am ready to try a new stall. But someday, I'll get you, stall number 1, and your rubber button too.
