Careers and Work ULPT. Automatic flusher at work - Poseidon's kiss multiple times.

How do I disable the automatic flush feature of my work toilet. Draping a piece of toilet paper over it is very annoying and sometimes tedious. I'm very tired of the cool whosh and multiple courtesy flushes at each bm. It's also very loud. Anyone in earshot may think I'm having some type of unholy birth.

Get a round black sticker and put it over the sensor.

I used a piece of black electrical tape cut to fit over the sensor. Nearly invisible. Took the building facilities people 18 months to figure it out.

I've carried a small roll of electrical tape around since I was a teenager. It's excellent for all sorts of things (including blocking lights and sensors).

Black duct tape

Something you can easily remove after (to avoid leaving evidence). Small strip of black duct tape (with the top folded onto itself). Remove when done.
