Women, if you piddle on the sodding seat will you please wipe it up?!

[sayyouwill]

Second time this week!
I have a weak bladder and the toilets at work are down 2 floors. By the time I get there I am bursting for a wee. I’m fed up of leaking in my knickers wiping up the toilet seat before I get to use it.
Is it really such an ask?!
Have accidentally sat on a damp toilet seat today in my haste and I feel physically sick now.

Love this thread. Mn at its finest.
Now... Toilet brushes?

Personally I like to hover over toilet when I'm breastfeeding baby

I don’t think it’s women at all who cause the piddle on the seat. It’s the women who bring small boys in with them. My 5 year old boy now insists on going in his own cubicle but doesn’t always lift the seat. I almost always run in behind him to check but sometimes another woman will barge in before me thinking I’m trying to jump the queue. I reckon it’s little boy piddle your seeing.

Except OP is talking about her workplace toilets, which presumably aren't used by children regularly.

The toilets at my work are pretty grim too. Is it really so hard to clean up after yourself and spray a bit of air freshener if you’ve just done a gigantic stinky poo?!

Hovering is not good for you at all. I've never understood what women think they're going to catch from a loo seat.

But the water on the seat could absolutely be water from the flush.

I hover and never splash the seat, I think the splashes of piss come from people who stand up to wipe, or don't wipe at all. I knew a girl at uni who insisted it was better to 'drip dry' than wipe and others agreed with her

I hover because I have sat in other people's piss too many times to count in public toilets. I had a friend staying with us as a lodger for a while and I had to ask him to leave before the agreed time because he was incapable of lifting the toilet seat when he went for a piss, and the toilet seat was that orangey wood colour so you could never see the piss before you sat in it

What I do is place several sheets of tissue paper over the seat and then sit. Easy!

Tbf, I couldn’t give a shit if you hover, sit or do a bloody handstand, just wipe the sodding seat!

Some basic rules (IMO)
If you piss on the seat, wipe it up.
If you drip loo roll on the floor, pick it u.

Always hover... always. How horrible, I hate that when it’s been one of my family, let alone a stranger.

Practice makes perfect in the hovering game.

If you sprinkle when you tinkle, please be sweet and wipe the seat

I never understand the angst about your arse coming into contact with a loo seat. What possible issue will it cause?

Tbf it’s the hoverers that cause the splash back, so if you can’t beat em join em get hovering.

Oyster you don’t know whose sweaty arse has graced that seat before yours.

I went into a toilet at work and someone had covered the seat with paper but then just left it there.

I have just moved into a building for work. Unisex loos. Don't get me started. Rank.

As this thread has demonstrated it could cause you to sit in other people's piss. It isn't just hoverers which cause wet seats it's also those who don't dry or don't dry properly and sprinkle as they stand up. People with weak bladder or prolapse are also more likely to sprinkle whether they have dried or not. So everyone sitting would not eliminate wet seats.

DSS is terrible for Peeing on the seat. I had it cracked, I left the seat up everytime he was staying. But now we have a kitten, so the lid must be down at all times (I learnt this after last kitten fell in the toilet, he was fine BTW, just needed a bath)
We have a woman at work who hates air fresheners (chemicals) and won't use the one provided in the toilet. Surely she could spray through a small gap in the door and then depart quickly, rather than leave us to suffer the smell

Those that hover leave wee all over the seat. Even if they claim to clean it up, they're just wiping it away leaving some dried wee on the seat for the next person to sit on. Not very nice.

Fiona Air fresheners are vile. They make the smell even more pungent! Not to mention the effect on the environment.
Just open a window.
