To think you should dangle above not sit on a festival toilet?

[malificent7]

DD and others spend ages lining festival loo seats with toilet paper so that they can sit down. AIBU to think that this is disgusting and that everyone should learn the art of dangling when doing a poo or wee on a gross festival toilet?

Just sit on the toilet ffs! If it's got actual poo on it, maybe give it a wipe with toilet paper or even something like a baby wipe first, but it's not going to kill you.

YABU to limit this to festival toilets only.

People who hover should have a separate WC and leave the normal ones for normal people.

Meh! This time next week il be at a very well known festival and will be far too squiffy to be trying to hover!!
I know what I'm in for, all part of the fun!

No people who hover are disgusting and selfish, they mess everywhere and it’s means everyone else then has to hover and it gets worse. Literally all it takes is anti bac wipes!

God almighty just SIT on the toilet and get done quicker. No wonder women's toilet queues are so long with all the precious toilet rituals women infest each other with.

And stop with the wipes as well. I'm sure you wouldn't flush them but lots of people do thereby screwing up the entire system.

I've never hovered or used a toilet seat cover in my life and I've been to some grim toilets. I seem to be doing fine.

Is this why most women take an age in toilet cubicles? Is everyone painstakingly covering the seat with paper or trying the find the right hover level?

Can I ask what the risk is? Skin is a pretty good barrier to germs and I assume people shower regularly??

annandale flush? You've never been to a festival have you...?!

And all you hovering people are the reason the toilet is disgusting, you can't pee on the seat if you sit on it! Although at festivals the toilets are often unisex, in which case I clean the seat with bathroom cleaning wipes/baby wipes.

As pp said, I sit and I still seem to be alive and healthy...

I just wipe off any shit blood pee , assuming there's paper then sit down . If there's no paper I might dangle if desperate but otherwise find somewhere else .

Festivals should have Asian toilets that you squat over.

If you absolutely must hover, then please take the seat up atleast. Then the rest of us can sit on a clean seat.

How do you hover and pop? My bum hole can not do that!

Poo not pop!

Get a gadget so that you can do it standing up — and miss the toilet by a mile — just like your DH/DP.

The first time I had a practice with mine I got it the wrong way around and pissed all over my slippers

What do you mean dangle?

Are you hanging from something? Don't you mean hover?

You know more often than not there’s a strap attached to the door that you can hang on to whilst peeing to give stability when squatting?

Hee hee, my mum always taught me to 'dangle' over any public loo when I was a child but quite honestly it's far easier to sit down. You only need to put paper on either side where your legs go.

A strap on the door? I've not noticed that, no more festivals planned for this summer but I'll be looking out for that next year

I'm too short to hover, the wee just runs down my legs!

Just sit. You're not going to die from doing this. Really.

Hovering is truly disgusting! You’re the ones making the toilets dirty for us normal people to use.

How do you hover and pop?

Is this a bit like 'snapped and farted'?
