Today, I was going to the bathroom at work. When I stood up, I noticed a little button on the side. I pressed it and the toilet flushed. I've worked there for nine months and just found out today that our toilets don't flush automatically. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, at work, I did my morning constitutional and the automatic toilet died and wouldn't flush. I had to tell my boss, since there's only two toilets in the ladies' bathroom. So it's pretty obvious who dropped the duce. FML
Today, I was taking a dump at work at a nursing home. While reaching for the toilet paper, I accidently pushed the emergency button. The nursing supervisors broke into the washroom to help. FML
Today, I went to use one of the toilets at work, where once again someone had not flushed their poo. I work at an institute for higher education, and this happens on a weekly basis, even during the summer when no students are around. FML
Today, while pooping at work, I was scrolling through social media. I dropped my phone in the toilet and the automatic flusher engaged, flushing my phone halfway into the pipes, which then flooded the toilet. I had to call maintenance and explain what happened to retrieve phone. FML
Today, I took a dump at work. When I went to flush the toilet, it clogged and began to overflow. I left the bathroom as it was and as I walked out, my boss came in. FML
Today, while using the bathroom I gave the toilet a courtesy flush, only for it to overflow and soak my pants. That would've been bad enough even if I hadn't been at work, with five hours left on my shift and no change of clothes. FML
Today, my workplace replaced all of the toilets in the store with automatic toilets. I have an anxiety disorder, and I can't use them. FML
Today, I went to take a dump at work, but the last person in the stall didn't flush. As I flushed for him, the shitty water splashed on my face. Some went in my mouth. FML
Today, while at work, I went to unlock the washroom for a customer. Normally we don't allow customers to use the staff washrooms, so I was as surprised as the guy I found sitting on the toilet when I opened the door. FML
Today, my wedding ring came off in a Walmart bathroom and fell into the toilet. It was an automatic toilet. It flushed. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

How did you not notice it not be automatic when the toilet never flushed behind you?

that button is for courtesy flushes. its all good. if your not well liked it must be for another reason.

It could still be automatic. We have automatic flushing toilets at work but there's a button on the side still to flush in case it doesn't do it on it's own or whatever (sensor goes bad, doesn't register you, etc.)

You know, if I'm at an automatic toilet, and I don't hear it flush after I'm done and have readjusted myself, I look for a button that makes it flush. It didn't occur to you to do this? Granted, most "non-automatic" toilets have levers and not buttons, but still!

They still probably flush automatically. Most automatic toilets have the manual flush as well, to help prevent clogging. Also convenient as a courtesy flush :-)

at my old school our toilets had a button and were automatic. the button was only in case the automatic didn't work.

Some automatic toilets have a button as well in case they don't flush, usually a small one, so you might be fine

So wait how quickly do you wash your hands and get out of there, that you thought it was natural for the toilet to have not recognized you were finished? I don't leave the stall until the toilet starts to flush.

So, when your coworks said "I don't want to deal with your crap anymore". What did you think they meant?
