Public toilets - sit or hover?

[moutonfou]

Do you sit, hover or play it by ear?

I'm with Jacques in that I don't actually care whether you sit or hover. It is the illogical and hysterical reasons that are beyond belief.

'Why are the sitters so put out by those who don't? '

I'm not put out, seems an unnecessary faff and likely to lead to dribbles on the seat but it was the odd pp likening it to eating vomit that I took exception to

I never dribble. Ever. Not even sure how anyone would. Unless they start jigging around whilst hovering!

Can someone answer my question about hovering and periods?

What was it?

How do hoverers deal with periods?

I don't understand what you're asking?

What do you think happens?

Do you need it spelling out?

When I have my period I need to sit to remove my mooncup/tampon (I've not used a tampon in 25 years as I have TTS so I assume you need to sit).
If it is the first day of my period then the act of doing that will mean that I bleed like a stuck pig and require a goodly amount of paper to clean myself up.
Because I am sat the blood gushing out of me goes straight down the loo.

Why so rude? And snippy?

I don't sit when I remove tampons and some people might use towels.

HTH.

I'm being 'snippy' because you were being obtuse.

I didn't understand how you don't understand how people who don't sit down do when they're on their period.

There's no mystery.

YOU are coming across as obtuse funnily enough

Because I know that I couldn't deal with all that while stood up. for no good reason

bloody hell this thread!

I sit - I wipe first in case of wee - my bum and thighs are in contact with the seat

I wash my hands - before eating I don't tend to pull down my jeans and rub my ass and thighs so I think the germs are not in contact with my food/mouth

I bath / shower every day thus washing the bum germs away

this thread is seriously odd!

I'm astounded that so many of you seem quite proud that you sit on public loos

Yes I am quite proud of that fact that I'm a normal, sensible person with enough intelligence to realise there's nothing disgusting about sitting on a toilet seat.

Well you know now

Is that how you measure intelligence?

Intelligence to discern between real risks and silly ideas/playground gossip - that is certainly a measure of intelligence.

What about people who know you can't catch germs from sitting down on a toilet but for various reasons they prefer to hover?

Do you ridicule those too?

Sit (as long as the seat is dry)

Yes I ridicule them because they aren't doing their bladders any favours and for no reason at all. At least the ones stupid enough to believe they might contract something from sitting on the toilet seat have a reason to hover even though its wrong.

Hover. My thighs are like steel.

what a wonderful thread! It's like Brexit again.

I wipe then sit in all but the most hideous of loos. In those, I lift the seat up with toilet paper then hover. Oh and wipe the edge of the bowl afterwards --not jealous
If it's a trainspotting esqe one, I'm hovering, I'll wipe and run.

To clarify though when we say public, are we meaning actual public toilets like you might find in a park or at the beach? Or just any loo outside the home?

Work/pubs/other people's houses/shopping centres - sit down.

Trains/festivals/actual public loo's- hover

I always wipe up any dribbles though.

Wipe with plenty of loo roll and antic bac hand gel then sit.

Why use antibac if there are no germs?
