Public toilets - sit or hover?

[moutonfou]

Do you sit, hover or play it by ear?

In fact, the worrisome places are not the loo seats, but the flush mechanism, the taps, the soap dispensers and the door handles. These are crawling with dangerous bacteria, such as e.coli, streptococcus and many others.

Those putting loo paper on the seat doesn't the waft as you sit down blow it all off? Or do you use a bit of Blu Tac?

Christ it doesn't matter. Absolute nonsense thread.

Like 99% of AIBU threads TBF ConstanceCraving.

Yes I guess but this takes the friffing biscuit doesn't it.

Don't take your biscuits to the toilet. Some hoverer might dribble wee on them.

I have hovered for so long on any public loo, I don't think I could sit now.

I never, ever get piss on the seat.

Snap Buzz on both of your points.

I think you probably could. Unless you hover on chairs too

I wouldn't sit on a public loo. I sometimes hover over people's loos that I know! I'm astounded that so many of you seem quite proud that you sit on public loos.

You have been sucked into commenting on the 'nonsense thread' ConstanceCraving. You care after all.

I thought you thought that this was a nonsense thread?

I do think it's totally nonsense. Doesn't mean I can't comment

"I wouldn't sit on a public loo. I sometimes hover over people's loos that I know! I'm astounded that so many of you seem quite proud that you sit on public loos"

I'm astounded that so many people are afraid of catching something from loo seats.

I don't think you can catch something. I just don't like the thought of it.

I'm proud of the fact that I'm not a germaphobe if that's what you mean.
I've sat on toilets at festivals!!

I have a questions though. If it's not the hoverers pissing on the seat as they all say it isn't them, and it's not us sitters because you can't really then who is it who is pissing on the seats?
Is it men who are identifying as female just to use our loos and piss all over the seats.

I was trying to say that you're extremely unlikely to "infect" yourself from sitting on a damned toilet seat. Just wash your frickin' hands after you take a dump, okay? Jeez.

How many of you hoverers check the seat and wipe it clean of your wee before you leave the toilet? It's the least you can do if you're not going to use it properly. The number of times I've been left with a wet bum from the back of the seat. I'm guessing you hover the wrong way round and splash. Please wipe up after yourself.

I lift the seat and then hover, so I don't drip on any seats ever.

Unlike sitters who occasionally drip on the way up and don't even notice.

How can a sitter drip on the way up? I've wiped before I stand.

Now we are going to get into the sitting or standing to wipe your arse debate now aren't we.

The dripping on the way up thing would be v odd.

Odd but possible.

Why are the sitters so put out by those who don't? Surely it's each go their own?

Because there is usually no reason not to sit, and because some of the reactions of the non sitters are so extreme they are ridiculous.

In most cases not sitting is as silly as eating a biscuit with a knife and fork even though your hands are clean. There is no sense in it. Why would you do it when you don't have to?

One thing that puzzles me is how the hoverers cope during their period. Do they just stay at home?

Constance couldn't care less if you hover provided you leave the loo clean.

The hysterical attitude from some posters about those who sit is utterly ridiculous though.
