Calling all Germaphobes! Please tell me...

[azgal81]

No wonder the lines to the bathrooms are so long. I didn't realize everyone was paying such close attention to the seat in there.

I really don't have a problem actually sitting on the seat. Normally if I see the splatters I'll just go into a new stall. I don't want to wipe someone elses mess up.

I don't understand why so many people are so grossed out by the toliet seat but yet they hoover and get it even dirtier for the next person. I have no problem with hoovers as long as they actually get their junk in the toliet. It's not that hard people!

Heck, I do that in my own house.

Me too and the thing is I have roomates, but my own bathroom.

I agree it is the hoverers that make the mess ! For all those chloroxer's I hope you are ready to pay for new shorts for me when I get your stupid bleach on my new navy shorts. No wonder the ladies lines are so long you guys are in there cleaning more than I do at home! Relax, I've worked in ER's a long time and never treated anyone for infectious toilet seatitis.

This is quite possibly the funniest thing I have read ina long time.

Hannathy, I've been a medical nurse for 23 years, so after you're done with them in ER, they come to my floor. I would have to imagine that, at this point, there is nothing on a toilet seat that I haven't already been exposed to, probably in a 1000 times more concentrated form, at work.

If the seat is reasonably clean, I do my business,wash my hands and go.

This thread is funny! I admit, I am not a germaphobe in any part of my life. But I do wipe the seat before I sit on it. This accomplishes two things - it helps me make sure there is TP on the roll before I go, and it cleans the drips off the seat from the hoverers.

Those sani seat cover things that move automatically can be found at Mohegan Sun Casino in CT. I think they're pretty neat, but it does feel kind of weird to sit on them!

Did you ever stop to wonder if the saniseat protector really does give you a new piece of plastic every time???

I mean, what if it's the same piece of plastic that just keeps going around and around??????

Now Disney Doll--no teasing the germaphobes.......

I guess I can understand some of this, but I've never overly concerned myself about it. And I've managed to survive this long.

Like that old yucky towel hand dryer at the gas stations!

By the time the plastic returned to a person I'm sure it looked clean.

Just to clarify--I wasn't talking about a courtesy flush. I was talking about flushing before beginning so that in case there is any splashing it will not end up in any holes and possibly causing an infection if the water is contaminated. I usually forget to do this, but if I notice murky water I sure remember and I do try to remember. But often I'm just lucky to have the bladder control to get there in time to get my pants down, so as not to..well, nevermind.

But a courtesty flush is nice, too, and does keep the odor down.

Gosh, this is a nice thread!!!

Wow, you learn something new everyday . Several women in my office flush right when they get in the stall. I thought it was possibly that the person before them left a "gift" but they do it everytime which seems very odd . Now I know why.

I do wipe off the seat but then I sit - no hovering for me . I do have to say that a lot of what's on the seat is actually toilet water. I think some places have their pressure set a wee bit high. It's like the WL geiser .

You'll have to ask them if this is what they're doing! Say, "Are you trying to avoid a ******l infection?" I double dog dare you! Or would it be a bladder infection? I'm so stupid. I've never had one, actually. Not that you all really care.

 

[Tigger&Belle]

Oh for crying out loud, it censored THAT out. Too funny!

 

[daisyduck123]

I haven't sat on a public toilet seat in years...I just won't do it.

 

[TinkInPink]

lol if this stuff freaks all of you out, dont ever use the bathroom at my school. Flushing is a hard concept for 14 year olds... ewww.

Oh Come on Daisy! If we all do it then the seats won't be dirty! Join the club.....be a squatter no more!!!

 

[Hannathy]

April Showers I like the motto "be a squatter no more" but have we come up with a name yet? I think it is appropriate with your name that you be the ring leader.

 

[AprilShowers]

I'm just not the creative type! Please, please please don't associate my name "AprilShowers" with pee on the seat!
I'll have to go underground!

Come on you creative "nonsquatters" come up with a name for those of us who aren't afraid to allow our hineys to touch the forbidden seat!!!!

 

[iggbees]

i saw the myth busters where they took samples from different places and they actually found that the toilet seat was the cleanest place that they tested.

i have no problem sitting on public toilet seats, it's not like that part of me touches anything else, like doorhandles or my steering wheel.

Which is why I ALWAYS cover my steering wheel before I put my bare butt on it!

I think I'll decline the invitation to your club & just cheer you guys on from the sidelines.
