Aibu to not line a public loo seat with tissue before using it?

[Jenniferturkington]

So, after 15 years of marriage I’ve just discovered that DH puts tissues on the loo seat before using it. Now, if it’s a bit grim, I hover. However I have never done the lining thing.
His argument is he can’t hover to do a poo. And he’s worried about other people’s ‘sweaty arses’.
So who is being unreasonable? Am I minging? I’ve never caught any diseases from sweaty bum germs to the best of my knowledge.

My mum always used to do this for me as a child and still does it for my youngest 2. I used to out of habit but stopped it years ago.

When was this? I knew in 1974 that you couldn't catch VD from toilet seats! And I've never seen a poster saying you could.

I remember this!
The public loo in town had a warning engraved on a tiny piece of metal screwed into the wall next to the loo roll holder.
I would have seen it early '80s.

Now, if it’s a bit grim, I hover

I initially read that as, “l hoover“.

That definitely would have been overkill.

I don’t hover or line with paper. What exactly do people expect will happen to them from other people’s arse germs? I’m betting my own arse isn’t exactly fresh and fragrant after I’ve been out and about and using the toilet over the course of a day

I always flush first, put some poopourrie in (just for a wee) and squirt handgel on seat and wipe round.

No wonder there is always a bloody massive queue for the ladies if people are faffing round with all this squirting and wiping before they go to the loo.

What is poopourrie? Is it the same as ViPoo?

If so why on earth would you use it when having a wee? Unless you’ve been eating asparagus maybe

I always hover over public loos, never leave a drip

I'm not a germophobe, but I hate the thought of my bare arse sitting where a stranger's has been.

Posters were in the bus station loos - goodness knows what they thought people got up to waiting for public transport 😂 late 70s

I hover in public toilets and I’m pretty sure I’ve never pooed in one so my bum has never actually touched a public loo seat...

I always wipe down the loo seats before putting my young kids on it...

What diseases do people think their naked bum cheek will pick up from a loo seat.

They are fine 99% of the time. I only came across an utterly disgusting one a couple of weeks ago where even I was driven to hover.
