I really don't understand the whole "electronic eye" component of urinals and regular toilets. I mean, sure, I guess they're nice from a hygiene perspective, but it wasn't as if people were keeling over left and right from diseases picked up due to pulling a toilet handle.

I remember finding a large hairy kielbasa floating in a toilet bowl when I was a dorm resident in 1980. It was one of those OMG moments that was burned into my naive little mind. Had there been auto-flush toilets, said giant sausage would have been properly flushed away.
Or maybe not. It was impressively big.
