It's Automagical!

One of the most important inventions of the modern age are the toilets. 3am, 6 feet of snow, outhouse start to look really bad. Or in the middle of July when it's a hundred and fourty out. And since their invention, there have been a variety of improvements. One of the most fun, of course, being the automatic flush.

It's like magic. Throw something in, wave your hands, chant words if you like, and a journey to the center of the world (or at least the sewer) begins. But with the automatic flush comes a slight problem. Some toilet designers simply weren't thinking and combined it and the toilet lid.

Now this obviously doesn't well work. The lid covers the sensor, so it never flushes itself. But then, someone got the bright idea of putting a sticker on the underside of the toilet lids.

"To activate automatic flush, close lid"

If you have to close the lid to flush the toilet, can it really be considered "automatic"?
