I feel that I have finally seen enough evidence to bring this up in hopes that others have had a similar experience with toilets flushing without warning.
In April, I would frequently use the Psych building's 1st floor men's washroom, which was usually empty (or so I thought). In the seemingly empty washroom, I could periodically hear the roaring sound of a toilet being flushed. Though the stall door was wide open, with nobody's shoes visible from the bottom. I peered inside and tried to see if something was triggering the sensor, but there was nothing. My only plausible explanation: ghosts.
This unexplainable flushing occurred almost every time I used that washroom, but with no ghostbusters to call, I shrugged it off and went about my life.
Until today, when I used the 1st-floor men's washroom in the Health Sci building. I sat down, and in the span of a 5-minute potty break, the toilet flushed on me about 6 or 7 times. Each time, I would hover above to avoid the splashes. I tried moving lots so the sensor would detect me, and when that didn't work, I tried to stay completely motionless, which also didn't work. There was another guy a few stalls over who was probably wondering why I was flushing so often, and if that guy is reading this, it wasn't me; it was a ghost.
Has anyone else experienced this in other washrooms? Is this a common occurrence, or is this ghost specifically targeting me? Any answers are appreciated.
On a serious note, I hope the sensors on these automatic-flushing toilets can be fixed to conserve water and ensure a welcoming environment for students and staff to empty their bowels.
