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?

Adult nappy?

Needs must

When I worked in retail a member of staff did a poo on the toilet seat and just left it there. The cleaners were so (justifiably) angry that they took a photo of it and put print outs in the staff rooms to shame the individual. I would be absolutely mortified to leave any bodily residue behind after using a public/staff bathroom! I hover and I always make sure to wipe the toilet seat afterwards.

I was in hospital for 3 weeks and there was one lady on the ward who without fail would pee all over the seat , my heart used to sink every time I’d see her go in because I knew the next time I went I’d have to clean it up
I couldn’t say anything about it either because she was already having a hard time with being in hospital for so long but even to this day I carry wipes

I'd rather be stupid than a dirty skank who pisses all over the toilet seat and floor!

Do you know those aren’t the only two options? You can be neither of those things by looking before you sit down.

It might not just be hovering. Some people don't know how to use a toilet.

Absolutely. If everybody just used the toilet the same way they did at home, there wouldn't be the mess there is. I can't understand why people are so squeamish about having the backs of their legs touch where someone else's legs have been.

Slopes Ha, I've seen that sign in Australia. In some cultures the "NO" pooping position is normal and thought of as healthy. Has the same effect as a Squatty Potty or similar.

I've seen hoverers on here justify it by saying they aren't going to place their bums on a surface that other people's arseholes have also rested upon. I must conclude that there is a legion of grown women out there who literally don't know how to use a toilet or where their bums are actually supposed to go. Meanwhile, they spray the place with piss in the belief that they are being hygienic.

They walk among us. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

YANBU, but YAdefinitelyBU to sit on a public toilet without looking first.

I came dangerously close to sitting on fucking diarrhea on a public toilet seat once, long ago. I've never not looked since.

Invest in a shewee OP

I had to use a loo out today. I now put hand sanitiser on loo roll and give the seat a wipe. As for the poster who said wiping the seat is unhygienic and you get stuff on your hands, how the fuck do you manage that? If you scrunch the loo roll your hands are nowhere near the seat! Besides do you not wash your hands after?

I’m hoping Covid will mean cleaner public toilets in general. They have been gradually getting worse. In many places here in France, they’ve been taking the toilet seats off so you have no choice but to hover.

What gets me is that they refuse to clean it up afterwards!!

It’s gross but it’s also gross to place your bare skin on a public toilet seat - I line it with tissue first! I have seen enough nastiness like blood or shit on them to not want to risk it! Therefore I would never end up sitting on piss as I would always look first, and the tissue would highlight any “wetness” and acts as a safety net.

Public toilets over here all have a box of disposable seat covers on the wall by the toilet paper. Definitely a good idea.

But the gaps around the doors...shudders...

Hovering plays hell with your pelvis floor:

Pelvic. FFS.

YANBU - but I must admit I've never struck this problem (not in the UK). I'm not sure if we are not a nation of hoverers, or if I've just been lucky!! I've never understood the need to hover anyway, but if you are going to do it then clean up afterwards!

@GlummyMcGlummerson

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?

No it’s not just you. I have been noticing for last 3-4 years loos are often disgusting- I cannot understand how women’s toilet seats end up getting covered in piss. Used to be maybe one cubicle would be dirty but you’d go to another and it’s be clean and dry. Now it seems you are expected to clean up someone else’s piss before you can use What is going on?🤮🤮

I take anti bac wipes and wipe the seat down before I use it for this reason. I once went to a public loo and it had period blood over the seat. Bloody disgusting. Would these filthy bastards behave like this in their own homes?!!

@SlopesOff

It might not just be hovering. Some people don't know how to use a toilet.

We’ve had to put this sign up in our work toilets for exactly this reason. Too many people squatting on the seat rather than sitting, and getting it all over the floor. Our toilets just aren’t designed for this style of use.

It is disgusting. I wipe the seat before I use it, after I use it and put the lid down to flush so pissy water spray doesn't end up on the seat again.

Recently my DP has been leaving piss on the seat when he gets up after having a poo and it's getting on my nerves. I wipe my foof before I stand up so piss doesn't drip on the seat.
