Installing a bidet at home was life changing but unfortunately it's transformed pooping on company time from a small proletarian victory into yet another grueling humiliation of inadequate working conditions.

Surprises of that sort aren’t really the problem, tho that would be.. wild.

The intentional abuse of the devices would be the problem, as would unintentional misuse (eg they are in the wrong position and it misses entirely, or they don’t know what it is and mess with the controls while standing in front of it).

First thing I did after installing a bidet was shoot water 3m onto a wall.

Same, honestly. You have to make sure it works and you don’t really think to cover it, and even if you did you don’t really know where..

And then you find out. And giggle a bit.

My bidet toilet came with a "demonstration tool". A (transparent) plastic contraption that can be put on the toilet which 1) activates the bum-sensor and 2) blocks the water stream.

The toilet also has a "demonstration" mode, I did not dare to turn that on, though.

I would like to see an AMA from a first time owner that didn't end up with water on the wall. When in the process of deciding to get one and having it functional did it occur to watch out... or not?

I did after putting it in and watched my partner test it and got another in a different spot.

I got 20 on it.

You're right. There is nothing stopping folks from throwing toilet paper (clean or dirty) all over the public restroom on purpose and I have spent enough time in airport bathrooms to know that people can make a mess perfectly fine with how restrooms are kitted out today.
