Beware of the shaming soap alarm

When installed in public bathrooms, the Safeguard Germ Alert connects sensors that sit in each stall, monitoring when doors open and close. As soon as you exit a stall after doing the deed, the Germ Alert will go off, sounding a shrill, obnoxious tone that can only be stopped by a push of the soap-dispensing button. Meaning that anyone within hearing distance will know right away whether or not you’ve done your hygienic duties.
