...to expect women (using public toilets) to wipe the toilet seat after use?

Last weekend I was out and about shopping on Saturday and in Sunday.

I had to wipe sprays of pale yellow pee off three toilet seats (on seperate visits) before using. Clean your own pee up and leave the toilet as you would wish to find it.

I don't get why people need to hover and risk spraying like a dog anyway.
I thought there are more germs on the door handles.

yanbu
just sit down on the seat. or wipe it clean after. you wouldn't leave your loo sat like that at home, would you?
and besides hovering is bad for you, your bladder can't empty properly from that position.

I always carry a bag of wipes with me for this purpose. yuck.

mousmous · 07/12/2013 17:13

...and if they spray the seat like that, just imagine that many drops will end up in the pants as well...

Chivetalking · 07/12/2013 17:15

YANBU. Fed up with wiping other people's piss off toilet seats.

"If you sprinkle when you tinkle
Be a sweetie and wipe the seatie"

Comes to mind.

MuffCakes · 07/12/2013 17:16

I'm not wiping anyone's piss off a public loo seat. If its dry ill sit down otherwise I hover and most probably spray my piss over the already piss covered seat.

AnUnearthlyChild · 07/12/2013 17:17

I fucking HATE this.

All this bullshit whining about men not putting the seat down then filthy fucks piss all over the bastarding seat.

Gives me the rage.

HanneHolm · 07/12/2013 17:18

sure its not a vigorous flush/

WipsGlitter · 07/12/2013 17:18

I blame the hoverers.

HanneHolm · 07/12/2013 17:20

oh peopel are weird about germs
they defy gravity and get uP your bum somehow

Weeantwee · 07/12/2013 17:24

I have to put up with this in my office! Along with wiping coffee granules from the seat because someone empties their cafeteria (sp?) into the loo and removing toilet roll that people drape over the door handle or all over the floor. These are grown women, the mind boggles!

feelingfuckingfestiveok · 07/12/2013 17:26

Im so pleased I am not alone. If you heard anyone swearing in the British Museum toilet last weekend it was me! Twice at the same venue...really

YANBU.

Some people are filthy with no regard for others.

Chivetalking · 07/12/2013 17:28

Don't get me started on offices!

Way back when there was a secretary who used to come in half an hour later than anyybody else and leave a massive piss drop on the one seat available for the entire office every single day Angry

I used to make a point of getting there first so I didn't have to wipe it Grin

Roshbegosh · 07/12/2013 17:31

I agree, it's such bad manners to leave it splashed all over the seat. Filthy bastards.

complexnumber · 07/12/2013 17:32

I always wipe the bowl anyway, regardless of any spray beforehand

SomethingOnce · 07/12/2013 17:33

Oh, I hate this too!

Not that I wee in an untidy way, but I always make a point of checking the seat after use just in case. To do any less is uncivilised.

specialsubject · 07/12/2013 17:34

sit down, FFS. If you think you can catch anything from a toilet seat you really did waste your time at school.

hovering just means you spray everywhere. How dirty.

nomorecrumbs · 07/12/2013 17:39

It might be splashed from a flush?

mousmous · 07/12/2013 17:44

yellow droplets from a flush? don't think so.

Pobblewhohasnotoes · 07/12/2013 17:47

YANBU, it's disgusting. I always wipe the seat. Hovering doesn't empty your bladder properly and I find it quite difficult!

YoungBritishPissArtist · 07/12/2013 17:50

YANBU. I was at a major shopping centre today and had to wipe the seat on all three loo visits AngryAngryAngry

I sit down on the seat. I can't understand hovering. How does one piss properly?

feelingfuckingfestiveok · 07/12/2013 17:50

I think if I tried to hover I'd topple over and sray everywhere - I like to sit on a dry seat.

In all my years I dont think my bottom and thighs have ever caught anything either.

It so insulting someone just leaves their bodily waste for someone else to clear up. Yes they are dirty buggers.

Do you think they cock their legs?

I really, really hate this. It is fucking disgusting.

A few months back, queue for the toilets, woman comes out of the cubicle and I walked in. The seat was covered in her piss. I turned round, and told the woman she had forgotten to do something. She looked at me blankly, and I told her she needs to come back and clean her piss.

I won't clean other peoples piss. If the guilty person isn't around I will use a different cubicle.

BlackholesAndRevelations · 07/12/2013 17:55

Yuk. If people don't want to sit they should put a couple if bits of loo roll on the seat and sit on that. I do this in some toilets!

Grotbagstwin · 07/12/2013 18:43

I work next door to a public toilet the cleaners come in to chat on their lunch, they say the womens is always more dirty than the mens, they often say there is poo on the floor or back of the loo seat where women hover!

BlueStones · 07/12/2013 18:45

I was in the British Museum that day too Feeling - indeed the bogs were rank! That's those that weren't totally blocked. Foul.
