Of toilets and slippers

Question: WHY do some certain toilets' flush work on its own accord, flushing germs and rubbish into people's backsides while they're sitting on the throne?

I am sitting in the toilet in a mall in Singapore. To my horror and disgust, without any warning, and suddenly the flush goes off, and I jump off the throne. This is not the first time it's happening, and today, I am reminded how irritating this amazingly "helpful" gadget is supposed to be. It's supposed to help you prevent germs from getting on to your fingers when you press the flush button, but hey, germs and bacteria and goodness knows what, is instead flushed into your backside. Wow, isn't that so lovely? Additional washing for your lovely butt.

Next up, I'm walking nicely in the rain with Jo under the umbrella, and then my slippers decide to play funny on me, AGAIN. Hey looking back as to the last time it happened, it is exactly 2 years and 1 day old. Is this a 2 years once event for me? :S Thank God Jo had spare slippers in her school chest. I walked barefooted in public before that la. Phheewww...

Meanwhile, I'm sneezing, feverish, headaching, bodyaching and typing this. Ciaooo...
