Motion activated toilets that flush while you are on it...

Always put a piece of toilet paper over the sensor before doing you're thing. I had a toilet at a building I used to work in, it would spray its contents all over the bathroom with each flush. I learned to flush and run, and oh bless me on the days I forgot to cover the sensor.

A bidet is not a toilet. It is more common in Europe and considered a more hygienic way of cleansing. A motion activated toilet that flushes prematurely is simply a malfunctioning device.

Familiar with that piece (in concept - as it would be inappropriate for Jewish homes, and is way too expensive), but that's not what was described here. I know you tend to get a little graphic when it comes to certain activities, but lets keep it to the bare minimum here. The direction of the water flow when FLUSHING is different than when CLEANSING. (or at least it's supposed to be).

People who are rude but excuse it with "I say whatever is on my mind, i'm an open book" as if saying anything that is on their mind is some sort of talent  :D

Most bidets aren't electronic and most days aren't Shabbos.

He said inappropriate, am I missing something about bidets?

He was referring, specifically, to the model linked above.

Threads that go OT into kashrus I can handle. Threads that manage to talk about constipation, gassiness, malfunctioning crazy toilets AND bidets with their halachic implications - that's for the pet peeve thread.
