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?

Only thing worse is having a co worker (like I have) who clearly sees the flush handle, yet continues to walk away without flushing our employee only toilet...every time, every day, several times a day....like he's too good or special to flush his own.

It could just be a manual override button. A lot of automatics have those, in case they didn't go off for the last guy for some reason(they aren't the most reliable tech) or in case the last load was too darn big to handle with one flush.

I would like to think that they are automatic, and that button is the backup button, cuz otherwise, you are extremely disgusting

I'm pretty sure all automatic toilets have a little button on the side. And the ones at my work take about a minute before they actually flush. So, OP could be out of the bathroom by then.

I always make sure it flushes cause that shit is nasty

Yes, as do I. But alas, OP obviously does not. Perhaps this situation will rid OP of said fault.

All the automatic toilets I've seen have buttons, so they might be automatic. If not, you might consider paying better attention to your surroundings.
