Do you clean the seat before sitting down? I don’t clean it but I do usually put down a bunch of TP so I’m not directly touching it.

lol, There are levels of cleanlyness... Many places now a days have those wax 'santi-seat' covers, I have used TP before, but you really don't want to put either of those down on a puddle..... So all puddles are wiped up with a nice wad of TP first. But sometimes it is so nasty, I just lift the seat and use the 'hover' method. But depending how bad you have to go, this can cause QUITE a mess, spraying the walls and everything! (Don't ask me how I know lol) And sometimes you have to add a 'landing pad' of TP if you decide to hover so you don't get the splash back, that is always horribly nasty feeling.



TMI?

I wish more toilets would issue seat covers as standard fare. Over the years, I've watched the shared work toilet for our building degenerate from a nice secluded place for a bog into a ratty graffiti cubby.





I make a square of toilet paper; 3 squares by 2 squares.

I'd rather suffer all the way home than use some janky public crapper. That said, if there is no alternative to sitting down outside the house, wipe, flush, wipe whatever kicked up during the flush, then line the seat 100% covered with toilet paper and sit carefully.

I wipe it off before I sit. If it's exceptionally nasty, I wait...

I wipe the seat before sitting. If it's that bad I'll hover and go just enough to get me by until I'm somewhere better.

i tend to try to use the girl's restroom when i can get away w/ it-... and i also leave it just as clean as when i entered.



i also like to use the handicapable bathrooms-... it's kinda like flying 1st class-... everything is at your fingertips, more spacious, reclining seats, wifi, hot towels, very lux! i'll stay in there all day, cause technically no-one is standing in line to use it.



women's and handicapable rr should both get a private urinal too (built in cup-holders a plus! just saying)!



lighten up most of this is a joke!
