Rest period will not be comfortable anymore. Employees who spend a lot of time in the bathroom may be forced to rush to spend their needs because of a new invention that makes sitting on the toilet uncomfortable.

The "standard toilet" seat, as it is called, leans forward 13 degrees, causing the user to prejudice his legs to avoid slipping, which causes discomfort in the leg muscles after a few minutes, which discourages loafers who get distracted by applications like WhatsApp or Instagram.

His inventor, British consultant engineer Mahabir Geel - who advises companies on providing toilets - says the aim of the new design is to help employers restore restroom compartments in the workplace for the purpose appropriate to them after they have seen them often become a "private use space for texting." And social communication. "

Gill and his colleagues estimate that extended rest periods cost British companies about four billion pounds a year. According to their website, "The current toilet seat provides a horizontal seating surface that enables the user to sit with relative comfort ... As a result, it may sit longer than necessary, which is generally considered undesirable."

In addition to benefiting employers, the new toilet design also aims to reduce queues in places such as shopping malls and railway stations.

As Gil says, these toilets can have health benefits by reducing problems such as weakened pelvic muscles associated with the use of conventional facilities. The lack of a flat surface makes the toilet less suitable for non-social behaviors such as drug use.
