To think if you hover over a public toilet..

[Quirrelsotherface]

..mop up your fucking piss?? I am so fed up of using a public toilet and sitting down to a bum full of someone else's piss. It happens all the time, mostly in shopping centres I have to say, not so much restaurants etc. I've had to start shopping with a packet of wet wipes in my bag to mop up a stranger's piss before I can use the loo myself.

AIBU to wonder why people can't wipe up their own piss?

Maybe you should hover too?

YANBU. I fucking hate it. It’s disgusting and shows lack of concern for others. I hate seat pissers.

I always sanitize the seat beforehand if I can. Even before Covid, I would carry lavender hand sanitizer spray around with me and spray then wipe down the toilet seat before use.

Yanbu. I guess they hover because they think it's unhygienic then they leave it in a worse state then they found it and are part of the problem. Kids and people with poor eyesight must sit in it all the time 😩

@Smallsteps88 I would but like to wee in comfort. I always forget then feel my wet bum, makes me feel sick

YANBU.

What are people afraid of?!

I would but like to wee in comfort.

Then public toilets are a poor choice!

Honestly, I hate using public toilets and avoid wherever possible. They’re always grim. But if I have to I always wipe them first. I keep alcohol wipes in my bag now, (pre COVID it was baby wipes) and wipe everything I touch in public toilets.

Well if you're out for the day you surely don't have much choice in toileting options?!

I rarely go out for a whole day but when I do, I go prepared.

Yanbu. But you're fighting a losing battle. No way would those mingers lower themselves to touch a toilet seat in any circumstances.

Presumably the same reason the ones who coat the seat in paper won't pick it up from the floor.

Cubicles swimming in piss and bog roll in the name of hygiene.

Adult nappy?

Is it just me or are women's public toilets getting more and more disgusting? In Sainsbury’s the other day I found a used sanitary towel sat on top of the sanitary bin I've also seen blood on the floor and seat more than once. Is it all the MN hoverers out in force?

Seriously who doesn’t look at the seat before they sit on it? Just give it a wipe or arrange an artful pattern of loo paper over the seat so your bare leg doesn’t even touch the seat

But sitting down directly on a seat without even looking at it and then realising you have a wet leg is just stupid tbh

Is it just me or are women's public toilets getting more and more disgusting?

Yes this! I'm sure it didn't used to be this bad. Not a covid thing either because it was horrific before that. Don't even get me started on service stations.

I absolutely agree OP. Its disgusting. I wouldn't use public toilets if I didn't have to. Why people feel the need to wee everywhere or wipe poo up the walls etc I have no idea, I'd hate to think how they treat their toilet at home

Seriously who doesn’t look at the seat before they sit on it?

Well evidently me at times, however I'd rather be stupid than a dirty skank who pisses all over the toilet seat and floor!

Nope, not just you. Work in a supermarket and our cleaner was gutted the other day because someone had hovered on the toilet, pissed all over the place and sharted a load of poo up the back of the toilet seat and it had ran down the basin. I felt so sorry for him, but he is forever cleaning up after people. People are animals when it comes to their toileting habits, from not flushing, to sticking pads to the walls. Even the people I work with leave the staff toilets a complete mess. How grown adults can't manage their own bodily function is beyond me.

Seriously who thinks it’s acceptable to leave their piss all over a toilet SEAT (a seat for sitting on) and that the poor bugger who has the misfortune of sitting in it is the unreasonable one??

Totally agree OP. I'm sure that most of the seat pissers are people who would claim to be ultra hygenic and refuse to run the risk of sitting where someone else's arse has been and certainly couldn't ring themselves to wipe pee off a seat that someone else may have sat on. They forget that even if we pretend for a minute that hovering may be necessary there are some people who can't. Not to mention the fact that even if you do try to hover etc if the person before has pissed on the seat there's a good chance that your clothing might end up in the pee.

So if everyone decides to hover and not wipe up their own drips the result would be that everyone has to wipe someone else's pee before using the toilet.

This is why I like (some) foreign countries. Disposable, flushable toilet seat covers. You can buy them in the UK, maybe pop a few in your bag?

I never get how touching the seat to wipe it or arranging toilet paper is better than sitting in it?surely it’s better to have the germs on your bum than your hands? I know you do wash your hands after seeing but still I wouldn’t want to be cleaning a public toilet without gloves. Do these people carry disposable gloves too? X

Always always always check the seat before you sit down! And I always wipe it with a few tissues first too.

YANBU it's absolutely repulsive. I hate going in public and luckily can hold it for a while so just wait til I get home but service stations? That's another level. When DP and I were travelling back from a weekend away a few month ago I really needed a wee and we stopped at a service station, I walked in and walked straight back out 🤢 pissy seat and floor, toilet not flushed and sink full to the brim with mucky water. I hate to think what these peoples homes are like, the filthy pigs.

Hovering to pee is bad for you anyway, I'd rather suffer the absolute indignation of having to sit on a public toilet seat than get a bladder infection from urine retention or fuck up my pelvic floor.

Right. But you’re the one who ends up with piss on your legs..... So hardly a victory now is it

I don’t understand this at all. If one wishes to “hover”, one lifts the seat up out of the way first.
So how is it possible to get urine onto a seat that is vertical, behind you, and with its top facing away from you? There must be some contortionists out there!
