Here in Hong Kong I went into a public toilet today and on the wall behind the toilet was a button with a sign underneath it ”Push the button after use”. Problem was I wanted to flush the toilet before use (it had a bit of paper floating and a slightly murky water colour). I searched everywhere, but couldn’t find a before use button. And forget about a during use button, that would be a tale of science fiction. In this town where even thinking about thinking about spitting could get you a jail sentence and shacked up with drug dealers and a cell mate called Foo Fighter who tries to pimp you out, dare I push the post use button pre use? I think not.
