To women who pee all over public toilet seats: I HATE YOU!

[graywarrior]

Where is the rational that YOU do not want germs from a public toilet, yet it's ok for YOU to stand up and piss all over the seat and then not clean it up after yourself? If I ever find out who you are, I'm coming for you!

[grasswire]

1. it happened to me just yesterday...

...in a Macy's restroom. Grrrrrrrrrr.

[graywarrior]

2. I go absolutely ballistic!

Twice this week! The tourists are all here. It has to be them.

[Maine-ah]

140. yay! tourist season!!!

I forgot to get my permit this year.....

:P

[Chan790]

3. Not that it makes it okay....

but unless the person has a UTI or parasites...urine is sterile. That's part of its' purpose, it mortifies anything living in the vicinity before it can infect the reproductive organs.

It's still gross when people piss on the toilet rather than in the toilet.

[graywarrior]

5. Yabut still....I do not want an unknown's pee all over the back of my thighs.

It's rude.

[Chan790]

16. I do empathize...

I clean the bathrooms at work...in a coffee shop...off the interstate. I get it everyday 4-5x every 6 hour shift.

Also, women's room...more disgusting than the men's room. Everytime. No idea why. We stand up to pee, yet manage to get less on the floor. Men for some reason tend to pee in the sink or garbage can more often though.

[TroglodyteScholar]

94. I was going to make the same comment...

...that women are nastier in the restroom than men are. It was shocking to me as a teen to find this out when I was working as a custodian at a small business. The ladies' room was ALWAYS way nastier than the men's room. Shocking.

[yardwork]

103. Why do men pee in sinks and garbage cans? Is it because they can?

I've never understood this.

[sniffa]

172. Why do men pee off their porches?

Some things we'll never know.

[Chan790]

174. My friend Simonas...

used to do that from the 4th floor balcony of his apartment.

[graywarrior]

175. Men do that, too?

[Eurobabe]

121. Honestly, I am such a toilet seat phobe

I wash the backs of my legs at night before bed if I have been on any public seats. Who knows :wtf: one is picking up on those things?

[mikeytherat]

7. Urine is sterile inside the body.

Once it is out, all bets are off.

mikey_the_rat

[graywarrior]

10. Thank you!

[ZenKitty]

100. Why in the name of holy kittens would...

...I or any other woman want to sit on liquids (sterile or not) and then pull up our clothing, ending up with wet spots.

Tell me if I'm the only one ladies that judges the recently acquired moisture on one's backside to be either an overzealous toilet that sprays when it flushes or vs a gal that has not perfected the "hover move" by the level of tackiness of the wet spots. ICK!

[realisticphish]

142. it's sterile when you urinate

but it's pretty much bacteria paradise not long afterwords.

[redqueen]

4. Oh God... why'd you have to say that?

I have spent YEARS convincing myself that it's just spray from the flush.

:cry:

[Kali]

44. It IS!!!

It's just water from the flush.It's just water from the flush.It's just water from the flush.It's just water from the flush.It's just water from the flush.It's just water from the flush.It's just water from the flush.It's just water from the flush.It's just water from the flush.It's just water from the flush.

IT IS DAMMIT!!!!

[femmocrat]

6. Yes, it is disgusting, but...

If restrooms were required to have those paper toilet seat covers available, it would help to solve the problem.

I can't understand why those are not required by law! In the interest of public health!

[redqueen]

19. I thought it was healthier to not put your hands anywhere near the seat.

:shrug:

[Chan790]

21. Because even when provided...

people won't use them. They still do the stand-n-squat and get it all over the place. Urinals for women...that's what the world needs. If someone invented a functional urinal for women, they'd be richer (and smarter IMO) than Warren Buffett, Bill Gates and Steve Jobs combined...overnight.

[graywarrior]

22. All it takes is a funnel and a hose.

[IronLionZion]

38. already been invented

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Female_Urinal.jpg

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_urination_device

[Chan790]

43. How are they not universally-present? n/m

[LisaM]

49. Because they didn't work. I remember them.

They're too high up for some women (me) and they are impossible to use if you are wearing pantyhose and a skirt. They were terrible.

I think it mostly is spray from the flush, BTW.

[graywarrior]

46. I want a portable one

[madeline_con]

71. So, do you face this thing, or hover?

The Asian squat toilet works well, if your legs can handle squatting. :shrug:

[moriah]

73. I bought one called a "P-Style" for camping.

Has a carrying bag that comes with it. I put a bottle of witch hazel and some paper towels in there with it. After use, I sanitize it in witch hazel and then rub it dry with the paper towels.

It works, but you have to be careful to put the bottom of the device between the urethra and the other opening. Getting a "back up" isn't fun and leads to messiness.

[Xithras]

81. The problem with urinals for women....

It's kinda funny that this came up, because I searched all over for one when we redid our master bath a year ago (I ended up getting a male only urinal, but searched all over for a male/female version after finding internet posts claiming that they existed).

The problem is with the layout of the female anatomy. If a woman in a standing position urinates, it "fires" straight down. The only way to catch the urine is to somehow place the receptacle between her legs. If you're female, stand up, slip your hands between your thighs, and note how little room you have there. Any urine receptacle would have to be very narrow and would need to be in close physical contact with the womans body. Not only does this make it difficult to design a single device capable of working with all body types, but it introduces a whole new set of sanitary concerns.

We did eventually find a couple of models on the market that are in limited use. One is pictured downthread, but it isn't really a urinal. It's simply a toilet that can be used without being fully seated. Other models do exist, but they require that the woman substantially disrobe her lower body to use them. The most common are variations of the classic squat toilet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squat_toilet) that raise the bowl slightly between the feet to reduce the squatting need. They're interesting, but aren't practical if the woman is wearing slacks, jeans, or panty hose.

Honestly, I think a plain squat toilet would do the trick, but they're frowned on in much of the west for some damned reason. No physical contact, easier to keep clean, and no worrying about ass gaskets.

[crimsonblue]

115. ass gaskets?

i won't even ask....

[Xithras]

139. Heh, you've never heard the term?

gasket
Noun
a piece of paper, rubber, or metal sandwiched between the faces of a joint to provide a seal

Now think about those little paper rings businesses provide for the toilet seat. It may be a regional thing, but "ass gaskets" are common slang for them here in central California ;)

[crimsonblue]

143. businesses don't provide that worthless stuff here

all it does is increase waste..

[Ysabel]

186. some kind of handles would help...

if we are going to squat i mean my balance since having kids isn't what it used to be...

[Flaxbee]

95. no, because if the toilet seat is wet, and you put the toilet seat

cover over it, the damn seat cover sticks to your legs. It is disgusting.

The only thing to do is use tp to wipe off the seat, then use toilet seat covers or two layers of tp on the seat before you sit down.

[ismnotwasm]

You mean those women

who do contortionist squats over the toilet seat so they don't get cooties? Ewww.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

8. i hate them too.

[Shell Beau]

9. It really pisses me off. Especially now that I am pregnant and

balancing myself over a toilet isn't a option.:argh:

[madeline_con]

72. Carrying small spray disinfectant might be a good idea

if you have to sit.

[mainegreen]

11. In men's rooms you find poo smeared on the stall walls.

Pee on toilet seat?
That's practically sparkling!

[graywarrior]

13. Hey, try motel bathtubs.

I used to manage motels. SOME people like to take a crap while they're showering.

[nadine_mn]

104. nooo ppl don't crap while showering

they are cleaning out what the bidet missed

[Shell Beau]

18. Eeeewww! Yucky!

[Ysabel]

187. once while hitch-hiking i was dropped off at the most awful place...

in the middle of nowhere i wondered how in the world (maybe everybody visits nowhere sometimes) all the crap that was all over that bathroom got there it was all over everywhere well as much as everywhere could be in the midst of nowhere i mean...

[ScreamingMeemie]

12. I was just thinking this at the ball park the other week.

Who the hell do these people think they are??

[graywarrior]

17. I wish I could spot them in a crowd.

Put them on display...beat the ever loving shit out of them.

[yellowdogintexas]

27. impossible, because they already smeared that on the bathroom walls, remember?

or plugged up the system with it.

[NewEnglandGirl]

14. Once there was so much on the floor

that it got onto the bottom of my jeans.;( I was visiting someone at the hospital and had used the rest room. I had to go right home, I was sick.

[yellowdogintexas]

23. one of the absolute worst public restrooms I ever experienced was in Vanderbilt Hospital

in Nashville..in the old hospital about 30 years ago or so. That place should have been condemned. Rest of the facility was fine but the large main ladies room was an abomination. The Med Records staff had to use that bathroom, there wasn't one on their level (basement, for some reason Medical Records is always in the basement) anyway I could not believe the women in that facility put up with that. Of course the nurses on the floors had access to other facilities.


That bathroom looked like something out of a bad movie about the rural South in the 1940's. Paper every where, leaking toilets, no paper where it was needed, no paper towels. Stink from everything. Explosion of madness...a nightmare...

I have been in better restrooms in gas stations in the country than that one.

It was like a Walmart bathroom got dropped in the middle of this major medical center.

[graywarrior]

24. Sounds like a Stephen King story

[yellowdogintexas]

28. smelled like one too nt

[graywarrior]

30. One time I used a restroom in MacDonalds's and someone had placed

ketchup packets between the seat and the porcelain bowl. I wanted to murder whomever, but it was on a highway and god knows who did it.

[Shell Beau]

55. That is terrible, but for some reason I laughed!

:o


I would've been beyond pissed.

[WolverineDG]

58. Oh, I'm going to hell

I laughed at that.

Psst...grab some toilet paper & wipe the seat before you sit down.

dg

[graywarrior]

60. Who thinks about doing that when you have to take a wicked piss?

[WolverineDG]

61. Me, apparently

:crazy:

dg

[NewEnglandGirl]

33. Ewwwwww

it's like they're trying to make you sick to drum up business. When it happened to me it was in the ER in a small hallway bathroom. Of course I probably had very few brain cells firing that day not to look down at all. :(

[southerncrone]

184. Thanks for the Vandy warning!

[nadine_mn]

105. that is sooo gross - and has happened to me before

I hate when I have to pee but first have to find something to mop the floor

[yellowdogintexas]

15. OMFG you are so right. I really have issues with someone who is too good to sit

on the damn seat and too damn good to wipe up their own mess. Seriously.

if it is a child, I can sort of understand but their mommy should have drilled into their head that if they don't sit on the seat when they go, they need to check the drip line before they leave.


This used to happen at my last 2 employers, where the cleaning people were in the ladies' rooms at least every hour cleaning the place. Those damn toilets were cleaner than the ones in my house for crying out loud and people STILL dripped their body fluids all over them.

disgusting.

[graywarrior]

20. I'm not EVEN going to get into the brown stain left on the back of the seat.

I'm gagging now just thinking about it.

[yellowdogintexas]

25. and another thing (soapboxing before this thread is locked, as it may well be)

why do people feel this apparantly uncontrollable urge to trash public bathrooms anyway?

Even nicer places like Macy's or Dillard's get bathroom vandalism. I never felt the urge to do this as a young person and definitely not as an adult. Who ARE these people who strew paper all over the place, plug up toilets with 'stuff' etc. Why do they feel they have to do this?

[graywarrior]

32. No shit (no pun intended----welll, maybe)

I'll bet GWB did that as a kid.

[madeline_con]

74. Unattended children, in packs.

They want to prove who's the coolest in the group. Their parents should be spanked!

[nadine_mn]

107. Oh no its not kids.... adults are fricking nasty

I used to clean the bathrooms at a convenience store.... poo on the walls - and no kids around... just adults

[MissMillie]

26. anyone who piddles and misses should wipe up

male or female.

[mikeytherat]

36. "If you sprinkle when you tinkle, please be neat and wipe the seat."

Learned this in kindergarten.

mikey_the_rat

[mcctatas]

29. you have to learn the fine art of the "squat and hover"

admittedly fairly difficult after a few drinks, but by that time, who cares?

[yellowdogintexas]

35. the person who uses the facility next, actually nt

[nadine_mn]

108. I am too fat, lazy and graceless to hover

A long time ago I just started bringing those travel packs of wipes with me - I clean up before and after I go.

And remember it aint the seat that is as nasty as that handle

[mcctatas]

111. That's why I always flush with my foot...

which probably means that I'm a selfish bitch who doesn't care if others have to touch whatever came off the bottom of my shoe, but I'm good with that :evilgrin:

[Shakespeare]

116. It's the "squat and hover" idiots who pee all over the seats.

If you pee on the seat, wipe it OFF. Fucking pigs, I swear...

[mcctatas]

118. I think you're doing it wrong....

but I agree "If you sprinkle when you tinkle, be a sweety and wipe the seaty"

********In my defense, I have no idea what random synapse fire in my brain made me remember that*****************

[Shakespeare]

126. I'M not doing it wrong, because *I* don't pee on the goddamn seat.

:wtf:

But those who DO lack the coordination to squat and hover without spraying all over the seat need to clean it up.

[grace0418]

31. That is so gross and rude. They also use their shoes to flush the toilet, so you get

all the floor germs on your hands too. Anything not to inconvenience themselves, fuck everyone else.

[graywarrior]

34. OK, now I'm dry heaving.

[NewEnglandGirl]

37. Never touch that with your hand,

use paper towel. :think:

[grace0418]

39. I just wash my hands thoroughly. I try to waste as little paper as I can, plus I'm going

to wash my hands either way. It just annoys me that the most germ-phobic women are the ones who leave the most germs around by their actions.

[NewEnglandGirl]

41. I need it to fold it

and open the door on the way out with it.

[madeline_con]

75. You need to use tissue to touch it if you insist on not using your foot.

And to open the door as you leave, if it has a handle. RToo many people don't bother washing.:puke:

[Sugar Smack]

40. Let's get them that leave us their tp seat covers

to deal with as well. :grouphug: Let's eliminate them.

[graywarrior]

47. Let's nuke them!

[latebloomer]

42. Brings to mind the George Carlin line-

"Why do they lock gas station bathrooms? Are they afraid someone's gonna break in and clean them?"

[Shell Beau]

56. Hahahaha!! Forgot about that one!

:rofl:

[Withywindle]

45. HATE THEM!! Public humiliation would be too good for them.

I wish a big rash spelling out POTTY TRAINING FAILURE would break out on all their faces.


Seriously, if you're too much of a prissy princess to set your pristine boo-tox on the seat, at least fuckin' WIPE.


(News to lurking dumbasses--literally--if your boyfriend told you he caught "it" from a toilet seat, he's lying. Shut up and SIT DOWN.)

[Blue Diadem]

48. I hate that too.

I now have a habit of wiping the seat off with toilet paper before I sit. I've had the unpleasant experience of being in a not well lit stall only to discover a wet seat the awful way. :grr: :puke:

[IronLionZion]

50. Yahoo discussion on diseases/infections highly unlikely from toilet seat

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080708110501AA6EG6X

This was also done on Penn and Teller's Bullshit. in fact, they said the seat covers don't actually do anything either.

and of course there are women urinals in some European music festivals:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_urination_device

[Taverner]

67. Ahhh but you can get Pink Eye from a public toilet

Touch something dirty, rub your eyes and whammo

[graywarrior]

91. My boyfriend once told me I got crabs from a toilet seat

*bwhahahahahahahahahahahaha*

[rug]

51. This is precisely why men leave the seat up.

[IronLionZion]

52. THANK YOU!!!

:rofl:

[Blue-Jay]

53. I used to work a summer job at a state park, and women are DISGUSTING.

Then again, I remember a turd impaled on a coat hook in the men's room, and a few sewer-trouts left in the urinals. (what is wrong with people?)

Still, the lady's rooms were always trashed, especially at the beach house.

[madeline_con]

76. sewer-trouts

:rofl:

[nadine_mn]

109. ummm whats a sewer trout?

[Submariner]

135. Also called a Long Island whitefish

a condom.

[graywarrior]

136. Dear god that just made my day

I can't wait to use that in a conversation. "Oops, my sewer trout seems to have got up and went."

[KitchenWitch]

54. OH yeah!

I had this rant a few months ago.

:thumbsup:

I have always wondered, what IS the incidence of disease caught from toilet seats anyway?

[MsKandice01]

59. Those thigh germs are DEADLY, apparently...

I've never understood it either. How many germs are really spread though thigh to thigh contact?

[madeline_con]

77. People are disgusting pigs!

Look around. Find the person you absolutely would not consider rubbing thighs with. They went to the restroom right before you. :puke:

[Withywindle]

159. Nonexistent.

I'm 39 years old, I've been sitting all my life--because my mom toilet trained me correctly, which is evidently rarer than I thought--and I don't get sick any more often than anyone else I know, and less than many. In fact, when I got strep (from a PHONE, I think) last year, that was the first time I'd been to a doctor* for anything other than a routine checkup since Clinton was in office.


*a below-the-neck doctor, that is. I must acknowledge the regular head-shrink visits.

[KitchenWitch]

57. Here is my rant

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=105&topic_id=7788018

[Bullwinkle925]

62. i'm in total agreement . . . eom

[NC_Nurse]

63. I agree. Disgusting.

[Taverner]

64. Do some women's vaginas come shaped like sprinkler heads?

[Blue-Jay]

65. You should start a thread using that EXACT quote.

:popcorn:

[Taverner]

66. And watch me get kicked in the taco repeatedly (and I don't even have a taco!)

No thanks :)

[madeline_con]

78. Urine doesn't come from the vagina.

You might check that anatomy page. :blush:

[Taverner]

79. Yes it does - the vagina refers to the entire thing

Vulva, labia, clitoris, urethra, all of those are part of the Vagina

[madeline_con]

80. Mine aren't. n/t

[Taverner]

82. Care to make this into a friendly wager?

If you win, I'll mail you a bottle of Blind Pig - quite possibly the best Beer in the entire world.

If I win - I want a beer from your neck of the woods (Terrapin :) )

Deal?

[madeline_con]

84. Find me a link. Convince me.

As for the beer, I gave it up.

[Taverner]

90. OK - I've been bested. Whatsitgonna take?

Sourdough from SF?

[OnionPatch]

86. Umm, not according to the dictionary.

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/vagina

1 : a canal in a female mammal that leads from the uterus to the external orifice of the genital canal
2 : a canal that is similar in function or location to the vagina and occurs in various animals other than mammals

Clearly, the vagina is the canal, not the whole deal.

[kath]

89. No, "vagina" does NOT refer to "the entire thing"

The word "vulva" applies to the whole area. The vagina is internal.

You DO need to brush up on your anatomy, as another poster suggested.

[Shakespeare]

117. Um, no, it doesn't refer to the whole thing. n/t

[undeterred]

127. Not to those of us who actually have the stated equipment.

Your perspective is pretty scary. :scared:

[bicentennial_baby]

131. Er...um...You are very incorrect

[Taverner]

133. Well lets just said said vagina actually WAS shaped like a sprinkler head

And said urethra, not a part of said vagina, concealed within were to be a conduit for the relase of urine.

Would said sprinkler-head-vagina cause all of the urine to spew in a frenetic, fan-like manner?

[redqueen]

138. !

:wtf:

No it doesn't!


Perhaps you're thinking of the word "vulva"?

[Cassandra]

156. If you don't have any children...

this may be the reason.

[Mutley]

157. I'll bet you wish you'd never said that.

:P

[Skittles]

85. asskicking scheduled for Taverner

offense: mentioning both vagina and sprinkler heads in a question

[graywarrior]

92. OMG, write a song!

[Lance_Boyle]

168. no, and if you hear one making that ticking sound,

RUN!

[dolo amber]

68. I gotcher back on this one, lady

:patriot:

[DarkTirade]

69. I'm just wondering how that's physically possible for women to do.

I can't imagine it's easy. It must take a bit of work.

[OnionPatch]

88. It's actually great exercise for the thigh muscles.

And not so easy to do after several drinks. Then again, after that many drinks, one tends to care less about germs. :)

[madeline_con]

70. They're too nasty to wipe down!

I'd have to TOUCH it. EW! :rofl:

[carlyhippy]

83. Don't you use toilet paper as a makeshift seat cover?

Use tp to wipe off the seat, put some clean tp over the seat, voila, clean toilet seat, it flushes down the drain too.

If you sprinkle when you tinkle, be a sweetie and wipe the seatie.

[Lex]

87. You need a P-Mate

http://www.femalefreedom.ca/product.htm

[graywarrior]

93. Hell, YEAH!

I could use ice cream cones!

[NewEnglandGirl]

96. Looks like a fake

you know what. Green, no less.

:rofl:

[undeterred]

128. Used this on a camping trip several years ago.

Pee EVERYWHERE. It must take years to learn to use this properly.

[Lex]

170. I've used one before, absolutely no problem.

They come in handy camping and at big music festivals when the bathrooms are icky beyond belief.

First time and subsequent times, no problem.

[Kat45]

97. At a mall, I brought an empty paper cup into the bathroom, and

when I went in the stall, I peed in the cup and after I wiped, I poured the pee into the toilet, flushed and then threw the cup in the trash. It seemed more sanitary than sitting on the seat.

[Inchworm]

98. I spent some time as a toilet cleaner

sadly.. the womans's toilet generally scared me..

Ya'll are nasty...

fight? :P

:yoiks:

[ZenKitty]

99. Preach it girl!

I cannot for the life of me understand how a woman can pea all over the seat and then walk away with such disregard for those that follow behind (lol) her. I HATE that.

[ForrestGump]

101. I hate it when they

sneak into the men's bathrooms and do the same thing. Pretty presumptuous.

[Yavin4]

102. Question for Women, If You're Going to Stand Up and Pee

Why not lift the seat?

[Lil Missy]

110. That's the best suggestion I've seen so far.

But frankly, I think I would fall on my head or ass if I tried to stand up and pee.

[SeattleGirl]

106. A-freakin'-MEN!!!!!

And I would like to add Women Who Don't Flush the Toilet to the hate list!

What am I? Your fucking MAID? I gotta flush the fucking toilet after you??????

:grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr:

[bluesbassman]

112. Hey! That MEN is a little strong there girlie!

I put the seat down when I'm done.O8)

[SeattleGirl]

113. Gold star for you!

[bluesbassman]

114. Thanks. Now if I could only remember where that clothes hamper is...

[graywarrior]

124. OMG, yes!

Stuff like that makes me go from stall to stall til I find a relatively clean toilet.

[ccharles000]

119. I never knew how good we men have it.

[Eurobabe]

120. What's even MORE disgusting is they pee on the floor too!

And then you step in it and drag it with you. It's NOT only women, have you been in any airplane bathrooms lately?

Those are the WORST! You get it from both sexes. :puke:

[raccoon]

125. Yes, you do. Recently I used a porta-potty where some man had

missed the urinal and sprayed urine all over the floor.

Thank GOODNESS my culottes didn't touch the floor...

[AngryAmish]

122. Women are pigs

I've cleaned a lot of restrooms in my day. The woman's are always the worst.

[wickerwoman]

123. Don't come to China!

I haven't been able to sit on a toilet seat in public for almost five years. Some of the seats actually have scuff marks from women standing on them so they can squat into the bowl. Actually that's why even the most modern five-star hotels in China offer a "squat toilet" option... there's a very strong cultural prejudice against actually sitting on the seat. It's really super obnoxious!

Also, women who pull off bits of TP and drop it all over the floor. What are you frickin' nesting? Especially when there's a garbage can *right there* why would you throw little bits of paper everywhere?

[mentalsolstice]

129. Yup, I can attest to the cultural differences

I was staying U of KY doing a summer study, and stayed in the dorm. On the floor we had two bathrooms, with three seats each. On the weekends the only people around was myself and a woman from China. Every weekend I would enter a stall to find a huge pile of poo on the back of the seat, and I was like WTF? I'd spend the weekends praying that I wouldn't run out of clean potties, before I had to start running to other floors just to take a wee in the middle of the night. Found out later about the cultural thing, and american pots simply aren't designed to be stood on and still hit the inside of the bowl.

[Submariner]

137. Well...I never....

[Cassandra]

155. The only place in NY I've ever seen boot prints...

on the seat was in Chinatown.
I could add rants about French girls who left pee all over for me to deal with, but honestly, this thread is the funniest thing I've read all day.

130. This thread is a DUzy, where's JeffR??

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I just laughed till I peed my pants reading the threads. DON'T WORRY, no where near a toilet seat!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[bridgit]

132. I'm sure they're linked somehow to the chicks that don't flush either...

x(

[El Fuego]

134. Indeed!!!! I DO HATE THEM.

:mad:

[PassingFair]

141. I once had a dinner guest over who "hovered" in MY bathroom!

My husband sat in it.

:)

He was DISGUSTED.

He didn't know that women DID that.

I asked him "what do you think I'm talking about
when I mention "hoverers"?

We were BOTH pissed off (pun intended), and
the dislike I feel for the woman was only intensified
by the experience.

[graywarrior]

144. At least you can put a face to the ass hoverer

You should have her picture plastered on every public restroom within a thousand miles of your house with a warning.
IF YOU SEE THIS WOMAN EXITING A STALL IN THIS REST AREA, DO NOT--REPEAT--DO NOT PLACE YOUR ASS ON THE TOILET SEAT BEFORE FUMIGATING. Call toilet police immediatley.

[yellowdogintexas]

149. Toilet Police! That's the answer. nt

[graywarrior]

151. People dressed like toilet paper rolls

carrying a toilet brush as a weapon. Oh, and a plunger.

[WildEyedLiberal]

145. This thread is hilarious

:rofl:

[Xipe Totec]

146. Are there footprints on the seat?

it could be a cultural thing...


























:hide:

[graywarrior]

147. It could be a worship ritual.

Or a cult.

[Xipe Totec]

150. Or people who are used to squating over a hole.

:hide:

[graywarrior]

152. Or foot tappers

[graywarrior]

148. Lookie here! Even cats don't pee on the seat

[YellowRubberDuckie]

153. I had that problem yesterday...at WALGREENS.

THe one public toilet that should be clean is at the freaking pharmacy!
:hi: It's nice to see you Gray!

[graywarrior]

160. I came back to expose the seat dribblers

I'm on a mission.

[Highway61]

154. Ok....I admit

I haven't been here for a while....Been "away" (you know.... "your from away" when you go to Maine) But WTF...I damn near lost it when I read this thread....This is sick, (however, truthful) and I love it! :rofl:

[MichiganVote]

158. I thought we only hated smokers. But there are the women who smoke in the stalls AND pee on seats.

Christ what's happened to us....

[Orsino]

161. I suspect that those you hate are actually men who use the ladies' room. n/t

[Blue Diadem]

166. No, there really are women who hover

over the seat. I know..my Mom was one of them but she'd at least dry the seat if she sprinkled. Her derriere never touched a public toilet.

[BarenakedLady]

162. I only use public toilets for emergencies

And I'll drive on a murderous rampage home if it's more than just a full bladder.

Icky. Icky.

Too bad my girls don't feel the same. I have to go into public toilets more than I'd like.

[graywarrior]

176. I almost peed in a trash bucket while in a van riding through the Ted Williams Tunnel last week

because there was nowhere to pull over. I didn't tho. I waited til I got to some coveeeeeeeeeenient store in Braintree. I must say, it was sparklingly clean.

[crim son]

163. Awww. I thought we were friends!

:rofl:

[pinstikfartherin]

164. Exactly!

How hard is it to pee in the toilet instead of on it?

What about people who miss and don't wipe it up in their own homes? Nothing is worse than when you go over to someone's house and they haven't cleaned their toilet, they don't know how to flush the toilet, or everyone in the house seems to piss on the seat. Even worse, if they hit the floor in their own home and you step in it! People can be so nasty, no wonder public restrooms are horrible!

[Duppers]

165. I Hate anyone who pisses on toilets anywhere

Thanks, Graywarrior. It needed to be said.

[Rhythm]

167. I've never understood the necessity of "hovering".

Just carry a mini-can of Lysol in your purse (I've seen varieties small enough to fit on a keychain) and disinfect that way, if you're worried about germs. Seems a lot smarter and more comfortable than trying to hover without spraying pee everywhere. :shrug:

As for the germs on the flush handle--that's what washing your hands afterward is for. If you wash your hands after flushing, why does it matter whether or not there were germs on the flush handle?

The worst public bathrooms that I've ever seen were the restrooms in a huuuuge football stadium--think ten bathrooms with 50+ stalls in each one. I bet they have to pay their after-game cleanup crew twenty bucks an hour to deal with the horrific messes left in THOSE bathrooms. Ugh.

[graywarrior]

169. Depends on how fast germs can run up your arm to your brain

And now I'm paranoid about what in hell is on the bottoms of my shoes. No wonder my cat goes into ecstatic hysteria at my feet when I come home.

[Gonzo Gardener]

171. For Gawdsake, woman, look down BEFORE you sit!!!

My ass & thighs shudder and cringe for your ass & thighs. :puke:

:pals:

I travel a LOT during the summer and use public potties more than my own. I've got a whole routine worked out. I am the Adrian Monk of public restrooms/port-a-lets and camp showers and I'm happy to share my overly cautious and extremely mysophobic toilet tips with all of my lounge mates!

:grouphug:



First, you must carry antibacterial wipes and hand wash in your purse for EPS (emergency pee stops).

Secondly, I implore all of you to stop before entering to pull an antibacterial wipe from a zip-top bag stashed in your purse!

Drape this wipe over your hand to pull open the door to the ladies room and the stall door then set or hang your purse where it will not touch the floor!

While scanning the seat for any dribbled bits fold the anti bacterial wipe in half and give that seat a firm wipe... maybe two. If you have detected any bodily fluids use a second wipe... and possibly a third!

At this point, I must caution that if you think it's time to sit and let it all out, you're just wrong.

For those of you who are wearing pants you'll need to gather a nice sized wad of toilet paper for wiping now and this is going to sound really strange, but gently tuck it under your chin without dropping it or crushing it into a tiny hard ball.

My friends, we are now ready to do the pant scrunch or a skirt flip and twist. The pant scrunch is the trickier of the two, but you will master it quickly once you realize that it keeps your hem pee free. By all means, practice as you read this...

I recommend elastic waist pants for ease when traveling, but if you are wearing pants with a zipper or buttons you will need to unfasten then grab the sides of your pants just above the knee and scrunch them up until you can grab the waist of your pants and underwear with your thumbs.

Without letting go of the scrunch pull down your pants and underwear. For any wriggling that may be required, DO NOT touch the stall walls!

You are now ready to sit worry free on your freshly sanitized seat, but don't relax just yet! You still need to maneuver your scrunched pants into one hand to free the other for wiping.

Now, for the skirt flip and twist...

Flip the skirt up and over your backside and twist the fabric as you would a broomstick skirt in front.

Hold the twist with one hand, sit, and let 'er fly!

Prior to exiting the stall be sure to grab either a wad of TP or another wipe to swing the door open!

If soap and paper towels are provided use the paper towel to dry your hands, turn off the faucet, and once again to exit the restroom.

If soap and paper towels are not provided use your hand sanitizer and the wipe you just used to open the stall door to exit.

Finally, look down to make sure that you don't have any sheets of TP trailing from the bottom of your shoe.



Good luck and good peeing to you all!!!

:D

[graywarrior]

173. Why don't you give a course at a community college?

[Gonzo Gardener]

177. Seriously?!!!

I originally toyed with the idea of posting a one word response to your original post... "Depends", but thought better of it. The public needs edjamacatin!

I am quite surprised that you didn't inquire as to why I didn't mention pulling down underwear after describing the skirt flip and twist.

:evilgrin:

[graywarrior]

178. I admit I was completely overwhelmed by your detailed description.

Your composition is something that requires re-reading and much pondering. It is quite a piece of literature...bathroom literature, but literature nonetheless. Too bad there are no pictures. Maybe you could include some Spiegel Catalogue pix to spice it up. Not that it needs spicing.

[Gonzo Gardener]

179. ...

:spray:



:rofl:

Admittedly, it is quite an ordeal, but nothing compared to a wet tushie! x(

[uppityperson]

180. Thank GOD for DUZY's, otherwise I'd've missed this thread!

ME TOO! When I go in after someone and sit on their pee, I do a moderately loud rant about the same as what you wrote.

Except 1 time after I flushed I noticed the swirly water splashed out onto the seat. Still, grrrrr.

[MilesColtrane]

181. I've seen worse.

The French, in their infinite wisdom, seemingly avoided this problem by having Turkish-style toilets. (basically a hole in the ground w/no seat)

Yet, the single most disgusting toilette I've ever seen was in Paris.
I didn't want to know how merde ended up above shoulder height smeared on the wall.

Sacre bleau!

[graywarrior]

182. Speaking of holes in the ground, right here in North Conway they arrested a guy

for being down inside one of those visitor center compost toilets. A lady went in to take a pee and there he was, his head sticking out of all the muck looking up at her. He claims that his wife dropped her wedding ring down the hole and he was looking for it.

Just found the link to the story

183. When you find yourself standing neck deep in doo doo,...

...it's time to admit that your fetish has become unmanageable.

[DebJ]

192. Solution: toilets like at the beach in NIce, France: after a patron

leaves the toilet, the ENTIRE ROOM is sanitized for several minutes, every inch of wall, toilet, sink, floor. Only drawback:
you have to wait several minutes after each patron leaves the toilet for the sanitizing process to complete, before someone else
can use it . . . lines for the ladies' use get even longer!

[MilesColtrane]

194. I like it.

Can't wait til nanotechnology catches up.

The whole restroom can just be incinerated after each use, and a new one built from scratch.

[southerncrone]

185. My ABSOLUTELY BIGGEST PET PEEVE!!!!!!!!!

What is the logic here? They don't want to sit on the seat, but it's OK for others to sit in their piss!?!!?

It's my personal opinion that all of those women who piss on the seat are super fundies!
My reasoning on this......the only women I've ever known to actually stand up & piss were fundies.

You know they're holier than thou, so it's OK for them to desecrate the throne for all us "heathens"! :grr:

[graywarrior]

188. They're pissholes.

Hahahahahahahahahahha!!!!!

[astral]

189. I don't sit before I look

I not only look to see if the toilet seat needs wiping first (I use another stall instead if there is anything cleaner available) but I also take a couple two-foot long peices of TP and put one on each side of the seat for my thighs before I sit down. I find this easier than those seatcover thingies, which may or may not be provided in the stall.

And I have noticed that flushing causes spray to jump up on to the seats on many public toilets, so it's not always what you think it is. I always make sure I am ready to quickly flee the stall before I flush so I can escape any inclement weather spraying from the bowl.

Most pulic women's restrooms in my part of the world are a scary place to walk into, I am sad to say.

[graywarrior]

190. Even if it's spray, it had pee in it while it gurgled it's way down the pipe

Therefore....I am totally freaked but more totally wanting to strangle someone with yards of toilet paper.

[rucky]

191. That's why I use the sink. n/t

[graywarrior]

193. Have to confess I've done that a few times

Not in a public rest room tho....some dive in downtown Lynn
