Oversight
While visiting my brother this weekend, we spent a few hours at a community pool. We were getting ready to leave, and I was using the restroom. I was standing at a urinal, and a young boy walked up to the one beside me, did his business, and left without flushing.
I had been staring at a sign requesting that I please flush when finished, and at first thought poorly of the youngster, but it only took a second to relieve him of all blame.
While the urinal I was using was mounted at average height for an adult, the other urinal was mounted very low to accommodate children. The water supply line, however, came out of the wall at exactly the same height. It’s fairly obvious that the urinals were both originally hung at the same height, and at some point one of them was lowered. Likely at the same time, they replaced the flush lever that mine still had with a motion sensor.
The problem is, the sensor was mounted where the pipe comes out of the wall. Anyone short enough to need to use that urinal would be too short to activate the sensor!
