Most women hoover above toilet seat in public toilets to pee?

[summerfinn]

I was out this weekend and had to use the toilet to pee. I normally hoover above toilet seat to pee in public toilets and was thinking to myself this is difficult especially if I need to do a long pee🙈😂 Is this what most women do too or am I being extra germ conscious and should just wipe the seat and sit down? Sorry if tmi but I'm just curious

if it's a full day out, either come back home to wee or book a cheapish hotel just to be have access to a clean loo. I know I'm crazy

What makes you think a toilet seat in a cheapish hotel is any different from a toilet seat in a restaurant?

Only if it looks disgusting.

For those worried about taking germs from the loo back into their homes, I hate to break it to you but there are germs from urine and faeces everywhere. Just because you wash your hands doesn't mean everyone does. So they go off to that cafe you went in, open the door with their unwashed hands. Sit on the chair by pulling out the back. Which you'll do next. Pick up the salt cellar or pepper pot, pick up the menu.

Or pop into that clothes shop or grocery shop and touch all the things you're going to touch. And all of that will get on your clothes and back into your house.

And in those cafes, even if you avoid the door handles somehow, you'll still need to sit down. And those chairs, where you'll sit in the clothes you don't want covered with anything from the loo that may have got on your thighs, you'll have had toddlers having an accident. Or menstruating women having a small 'leak' because they didn't realise they'd come on, people putting their feet on the chair opposite and, if dogs are allowed, the odd one or two licking crumbs from the seat. If they're cloth covered chairs you can bet they're not washed down every night - so watch out for those comfy armchairs!

Hover if you want to but don't think it's going to save you, your clothes or your home getting germs!

Good point.

And just think how many people have slept in that hotel bed. Some of them won't have showered in the last 24 hours and only the duvet cover and pillow will have been washed since the last occupant.

The pillow, mattress, duvet or blankets will have been slept on by multiple unknown, often unshowered people.

Also think about all the different bare feet that have been walking around on the carpet and bathroom flooring.

Unknown hands that have opened the door, opened the curtains, used the TV remote.

Starting to worry less about the toilet seat now?

^this x1000000

This is mad. Ive never offered in my life. Im not wildly worried about my thighs touching the same seat as other people's thighs. Humans aren't meant to be sterile.

hovered

I just sit down.

The strange thing is, that none of this bothers me. Germs don't bother me. I think I've just been deeply conditioned from childhood. It's definitely psychological to hover, and I can do that without splashing for those who care. I'm content for everyone to choose their own public toilet habits, so they can let me choose mine.

It’s the hoverers that are making a mess. I’ve been putting my bare arse on public toilet seats for almost 60 years. Haven’t caught anything yet.

No. No, they aren't. Unless perhaps they have a disability that means they can't stand up in the usual way, but that's frankly a risk I don't think you have to worry about. Hoverers who spray piss everywhere are far, far more common.

Why do you believe a significant number of people are dragging their anuses, vaginas and urethral openings across toilet seats? Who told you that? Where did you see it?

As a commited hoverer I never used to sit, but I did so about five years ago, caught bubonic arse plague, and have been dead ever since.

Seeing as 90% of public toilet seats have fresh wee on them, I always hover. I don't want someone else's wee on my thighs - the fact that I am not going to lick them is irrelevant.

Hah! I like your style.

I find that too. Most of the seats have drops on them. I wipe it away before I hover.

🤣

No, I don‘t hover as my knees don’t like it. I clean if needed and sit. The hovering piss sprayers get on my nerves though!

I never used to hover or hoover, proper filthy beast I was.

Then I got galloping Back of the Thigh disease, both my legs rotted off just below my arse and thats why I use a wheelchair. I have fake legs to put inside my trousers now so no one ever asks and no one finds out how I lost my legs through being such a filth-pig. OH THE SHAME....

Oh wait...

Sit on the bloody seat, wipe it first if you want, line it if you must (but then bin/flush the liner don't leave it all over the floor), but fucking pack in the hovering bullshit!

To all the hoverers: what do you do at work?

I drink gallons of water at my desk and probably wee more at work than I do when generally out in public or at home.

I couldn't hover every time at work....is this what you do?

I don't. I sit down unless it looks particularly disgusting

I only hover when the seat is irredeemably splashed but at work the toilets are cleaned every hour so I always sit. If the loo bowl has skidmarks (rare) or period blood on the seat then I'll get in the next cubicle.

Seeing as 90% of public toilet seats have fresh wee on them, I always hover.

It is a vicious cycle. The seats have wee on them because of hoverers, who then hover because the seats have wee on them.

Ah well, when your pelvic floor collapses in later life, remember this.

For those worried about taking germs from the loo back into their homes, I hate to break it to you but there are germs from urine and faeces everywhere.

If only we had some defence against them. Some highly developed network of biological responses that has evolved over millions of years to allow us to live with environmental and commensal microorganisms. We could call it an "immune system". Wouldn't that be great?

Some people wad lots of tissues in the toilet bowl, so that others don't hear plops when they have a poo.

Ridiculous, as if no one else plops.

I we to to a public loo recently and the bowl was literally half full of paper. I mean, wtf?
