Never managed to catch the culprit in the act, but made a point of squeezing it the right way again each time I used it myself.   Took five days before I discovered my own tube of toothpaste still packed in my suitcase.

Each morning when I start the water running, the shower sprinkles water all over the place because the button hasn't been pushed back in after use as a shower.  Quietly cursed my wife for years until the day I noticed that at the end of each bath, I briefly rinse it out by using the shower.

I actually read that story first in some old story by Ephraim Kishon. I 
just assumed it was one of those stories that had been around ever since 
people started to travel.
