to think that hovering in public toilets does not necessarily mean you wee on the seat?

[StealthPolarBear]

I am being victimised, VICTIMISED I tell ya

Think I may have more than a smidge of paranoia, won sit on dem dere seats, also wipe seat before and after hovering. Don't ask why, I'm just weird I guess.

yes, actually I do wipe after if it needed wiping - i.e. I am wiping up someone else's wee. This is because I don't want the next person thinking it was me. That is mad - I should just wipe first and wee shouldn't I?

Some sciency boffin found office keyboards had 5 times more germs on them than the office toilet seats they looked at.

Out of 33 keyboards 4 were potential health hazards and were often a "a reflection of what is in your nose and in your gut"

i don't think i will catch anything (i hope) but i don't want a wet arse

hoverers should wipe the seat then we'd all be happy

'They also found that, compared to men, on average women have three to four times the amount of germs in, on and around their work area. '

What are they saying??

Oh thread about a thread. I'd wondered why SPB had sloped off and not adequately fought her corner

well I can't see how you can physically get wee on the seat if you seat properly, so it must get there from hoverers

of course that doesn't mean that all hoverers wee on the seat though, just that all wee on seats is from hoverers...

Oh ..... I thought it said hoovering ....

IT's hoovering in the toilet that is most weird.

But really, if no-one hovered there wouldn't BE wee on the seats and so you wouldn't NEED to hover.

Yes to wipe and wee, then as Trllian said

I think as women we should start a campaign to wipe and wee, I reckon it wouldn't be long before we no longer had to wipe

I sit on seats providing they look clean and haven't caught any kind of bum disease in 25 years or so of doing it so I reckon it's safe enough.

'wet arse' vs
'bum disease'

Why would you get a wet arse though? I've never been into toilets where all the seats have piss on them and if I did I'd either wipe it or wait.

Paahaha at 'bum disease'

It's not good for you Stealth. You don't empty your bladder properly. But on the upside it must be good for your thigh muscles.

Hovering is bad for the pelvic floor.

And anyway, the toilet door handle is the dirtiest place in a toilet, and by that I suppose they mean the one to leave the toilet area, rather than the cubicle.

However much you may have washed your hands, it doesn't mean others have.

Grim thought.

I don't hover, I haven't the strength to be honest.

The worse thing for me is going to the loo in the dark and finding out too late that some bastard has left the seat up.

Ice cold porcelain and feels about a bloody foot 'lower down' than I expected it to be. Grrr

ECHT... My Mum was once waiting for my Dad to come out of the toilet for ages. When he finally appeared he said he had seen someone come out of the cubicle and not wash his hands then obviously open the door with the handle

He wouldn't come out until someone came in and pushed the door and he could walk through without touching it

I saw a lady today come out of a motorway service station cubicle and not only did she not wash her hands but neither did the two young children that she had somehow squashed in to the cubicle with her.
Thanksamillion your toilets atr literally the stuff oof my nightmares.

re pelvic floor, I cannot believe that a once a fortnight hover has any impact!

Could he not have put a bit of loo roll over the handle to open it oldraver?

I'm at the scenario though.

"Hovering" is just weird, if you're that paranoid, either wipe the seat with paper first, or wait until you get home.

He would probably see toilet roll as 'tarnished as well'

He knows he has a problem but would never get help. We have come home to a defrosted freezer after a two week holiday due to his compulsion at turning off switches and many more things

Sounds like OCD oldraver, I feel bad for laughing at the scenario now because it's not funny.

I think the issue with wiping the seat is that I would then want to wash my hands :o Which might get some odd looks!
And if I can wait until I get home, I do, trust me!
