In this environment, you wouldn't expect so many buttons. Nor, would you expect so much from a toilet for that matter. But, as I said, I'm only human. So, I experimented and pressed a few buttons.
The blue one nearly knocked me through the ceiling. Luckily, after composing myself, I was able to cover up what was going on with a little excess toilet flushing sounds!!
The Japanese are modest (hence the flushing sound and volume control buttons), but they are also known for their technology and efficiency. So, it should only make sense that they brought it into the place we spend a good amount of our lives in - the bathroom. And with heated seats, who would want to leave? More and more, these types of toilets can be found in most modern Japanese buildings, restaurants, or homes. And heck, they definitely beat the alternative of the traditional Japanese toilet, which amounts to not much more than a hole in the ground.

Mike,
ReplyDeleteI got to use a Japanese-style toilet in the Google offices. The heated seat freaked me out. The previous user had left it on, so when I sat down I immediately had the sense that a huge dude just spent two hours on the throne and only got off seconds before I sat down...
