Piss Covered Seats
To all you “hoverers”: Okay, you have a phobia of sitting on public toilets, I’m fine with that. But if you happen to piss on the toilet seat, CLEAN IT THE FUCK UP!!!!! I know some of you are grown women therefore you should fucking know better! I went t

I dont see the problem with sitting on a public toilet, there are germs everywhere anyways but what I do have a problem with is women who are next to me in the next stall that reek like sour rotten fish.
same as the lazy ass fucking guys who are too cockshy to piss in the urinals so they piss in the stalls and dont lift up the seat…lazy and disgusting. if youre are gonna piss in the toilet, lift the seat you pigs.
I am a sitter. I never knew that people hover over the toilet to pee. I mean I knew they sometimes squat on the toilet with their feet on the seat, because some of them don’t bother to wipe away their goddamn footprints. But I never knew that people hover their ass with their feet on the ground. At the same time, I always wondered how piss would get all over the seats in a women’s bathroom (no I am not always too quick on the uptake). Anyway, I’ll sit on any toilet seat as long as it appears to be clear and dry; I can understand though why some people are skeeved by it. But yeah as the OP says it should be common courtesy to wipe your piss, it may be a gross space but it’s a shared space too.
Mole Rat – “I knew they sometimes squat on the toilet with their feet on the seat”REALLY?? That’s oddly funny. I need videotaped evidence. What if you’re wearing high hells?
I don’t know what else would explain the shoe marks on the seats. Unless they are climbing up onto the seat to spy on the person in the next stall, or…whatever else people would need to climb up on toilet seats for. Hide, perhaps?I’m not sure about high heels – boots and sneakers make the most noticeable prints (you can tell from the treads).
Some people, especially Asians will stand on the seat and squat down. Its easy to wash the seat with papertowel and soap before sitting down, though. I don’t use urinals often, not because I am “cockshy” (I am rather “cocksure”), but using them splashes the urinal water over one’s pants and shoes, especially those gross urinals that stretch to the floor. It repulses me to know that toilet water filled with my piss and others piss is splashing over my trousers and Ecco’s.
Actually, the practice of sitting on the toilet seat is unique to western culture. The squat toilet is the norm in most of the world. It’s not at all unusual for people to come here from other countries and try to use our facilities in the manner to which they are accustomed. In fact, people who are used to the squat toilet consider it extremely unsanitary to sit on the toilet. A friend of mine lives in a university dorm populated almost exlusively by students from africa, asia, and the middle east, and they had to put signs up with instructions on how to use the western toilet.
I get that people have different customs than us, but it’s also extremely unsanitary for the rest of us who DO sit, to have to put our ass on a toilet seat that someone has tramped on. I’d rather my bum to touch the same surface 10 other people’s bums have touched than to touch a surface that has just been walked on with the bottoms of someone’s shoes. But maybe that’s just me.
