to ask (some of) you to stop hovering and just stick on the bloody loo seat?

[MardyBra]

You might think you have missed the seat, but you have probably left a fine mist of wee, which I don't spot until I have got up and discover that my thighs have been dampened with someone else's urine.

Thank you for your co-operation.

There aren't many people owning up to hovering.

Maybe we need those little paper seat covers like in the States.

Or maybe people should just stop hovering.

yanbu. My boss does this, I usually check and wipe but sometimes I am caught out. grim.

If you sprinkle
When you tinkle
Please be neat
And wipe the seat.

And if you shit
And leave a bit...

I'm a hoverer I have a phobia about public toilets, I do have OCD though!

I always wipe the seat with tissue when I have finished even if there appears to be no splashing!

I thought the toilets in France were bad enough, that was before I went to Morocco, I went through a lot of hand gel on that holiday! Austria however was wonderful the public toilets were amazing, even the ones in car parks had a cleaner in them who went in after every person!

Wipe it up
You mucky pup

errrr that is disgusting!!! This is why i avoid public toilets and if i really need to i cover the seat with toilet roll first.

YANBU! This drives me up the wall!

There is literally no need to hover. It's a fecking loo seat, you sit on it with your arse, are you actually scared of your arse getting germs on it!?

If you must hover, how about cleaning up after yourself?

I read that as hoovering not hovering and couldn't understand the post- hoovering and sticking on seats. Wtf

I'll never understand why people hover. There's no need. I've sat on the seat of a zillion public loos in my time and NOTHING BAD HAS EVER HAPPENED.

Except of course that I've got pissy thighs thanks to a squeamish hoverer.

So annoying and gross.

Hoovering the seat would be a tad impractical. Anyway it would only pick up dust and not droplets of piss.

Put paper on the seat and sit on that. That's what I do.

Gawd people just sit down and relaaaaaaax!

You know what touches the seat? Skin. Just skin. People are not smearing their arseholes and vagines all over the seat... It's just skin, like on your arms and legs!

'smearing arseholes and vagines over seat'

YANBU!

Public service announcement! IF YOUR THIGHS TOUCH THE SAME PLASTIC AS SOMEBODY ELSES THIGHS, YOU SHALL NOT DIE A HORRID DEATH.

There was one particularly vile bint at my last work that left shite spread all over the loo seats. Admittedly I have no idea if she was a squatter or not, but her crime of spillage is essentially the same as all other squatters.

Give the seat a wipe if you're that bothered and sit the fuck down like the rest of the adult population.

[massivebloodygrumpyface!]

I am a hoverer but I always wipe the seat afterwards even if I can't see anything

Nooo, Scrubber.

I was just about to say that's what one of my OCD germ phobic mates does.

Daft. Just sit down.

(unless you're at Glasto, in which case, hover at will).

GrowSomeCress You are automatically forgiven then. I am almost certain that with your pee and wipe routine, I have never foolishly sat in your piss.

It's when you're being all absent minded and forget to scrub the seat before you sit... only to plonk thyself down in a puddle of the fecking stuff... ARGH!

Thank you for this thread mardy. You've done a public service. Can I also put out a plea to ask people to wipe after their bloody kids as well. Kiddy piss feels just as offensive as grown up piss when seeping into ones thighs.

And did you know, tests have shown there are more germs per square inch on the surface of you desk than there are om the average loo-seat.

Remember that fact when you next perch your choccy bickies next to your morning cuppa.

I would rather pee in a bush than use a public loo.

If I have to use a public loo I will go to extreme lengths not to touch anything other than the loo paper.

I think if you can hover expertly,within a cm of the seat,there should be no difference between a hoverer or a sitter.

Can we agree that those in the Hover Camp must remember to wipe after? And that those of us in the Sit Camp will have to accept that we must be vigilant against those renegade hovering folks that spray everywhere?

And yes, wipe after the little ones go. I have to carry dog shit around, you lucky lot with sprogs have to wipe up!

Is hovering an age related thing?

I don't have the balance to hover.
