Taking Energy Conservation a Little Too Far

This new office building is, apparently, green. I know this because all the lights are on motion sensor switches. The majority of them have a button you can push to turn it on fully (rather than relying on motion), however they seem to have left this feature off what I consider the most important switch in the building: the ladies room light.

Once you finally unlock the door (this is also new, the needing a key to get into the bathroom thing) the light flips on. You grab a seat cover, find a stall and barely get the door closed behind you and the light flips back off. There are several options at this point. Do you continue on your way in the dark? Do you open the stall door and hope no one else is coming in (and also hope that the stall door wiggling will trigger the motion detector)? Do you throw something?

If I buy a carbon offset of two, could I please have the light on in the potty?
