It Would NEVER happen to a woman.

If that was a prank it wasn't funny.

No, it wasn't funny at all. I think that he suffered from some severe abrasions. I would have died from humiliation.

That would never happen to me I always wipe the seat clean before I ever sit on the seat.

I am right there with you... I learned to hover from one of the best, my Mom, when I was real little.....and yes, flushing with the foot.. I also wash my hands and then open the door with the paper towel I used to dry my hands.. I would never have sat on that seat with glue on it.. no way..

That would never happen to me I always wipe the seat clean before I ever sit on the seat.

Me too and if the TP stuck to the seat while wiping, I'm movin' on to the next stall.

I've never hovered, but I use my foot to flush.

But I look before I sit, so I would not have sat in glue.

Me too, except I tend to wipe it down a bit with TP to make sure no wet splashs on it.

I was just telling DH "you know what this means don't you, no more puplic restrooms at DH." I can just see myself in the future begging to use the facilities. "I promise to look before I sit down and in the event I need help I will use my cell phone to call for it, I promise!"

Of course my DD makes me cover all electric eye flushers because she is scared of it flushing with her on it. (we used to do the post it note trick, but I got tired of carrying them around.)

Exactly what I was thinking and one reason I always wipe the seat first.

This has urban legend written all over it. Like two previous posters both said it happened to someone in their town. But, to the OP, yes I definitely hover. I don't flush with my foot though because I'm still going to wash my hands, but I do use a paper towel to open the bathroom (not the stall) door. I'm so glad that I have boys too, so I won't have to deal with the sitting in public restrooms.

I thought Urban Legend also but...

I guess it is true.

Even if you don't hover, most womens bathrooms have Princess Seats (paper seat liners) as my DD used to call them when she was a little girl. I guess men's bathrooms don't have those? I would definately hover higher without a Princess Seat.

Flushing with the foot? wow, never heard of that one before.

Have to tell all you foot flushing/ toilet hovering women that they just had a special about germs and public restrooms on our news. Guess what was the dirtiest area in the restroom? Not the toilet seat, not the door handle, not the flusher, but the floor! In every bathroom tested the floors and the sink counters were the most filled with germs and bacteria.

So think about this, how many times have you set your purse down on the counter to wash your hands? Or put your shopping bag or purse on the floor? Then taken that same purse or bag home and set it on the your counter? Ewww!!

I knew it!!! We have hoovers on this board. Ever time I gripe about public ladies restroom and there being tinkle on the seat, none of you come forward. BUT now you do. If you insist on hoovering, WIPE UP YOUR TINKLE.UUUGHH

Ewww is right! I also heard that there are more germs in the typical kitchen sponge than in the inside of the toilet.

I am sure that we have all heard by now the story of the man who is suing Home Depot because he was a victim of a prank and his calls for help were ignored for 15 minutes. Apparently someone applied glue to a toilet seat and he sat on it, requiring evacuation and a trip to the emergency room. I told DH that it would NEVER happen to me or to most women because we have learned to "hover" and flush with our feet. Am I right??

Guilty of "hovering" and flushing with my foot.. and I NEVER set anything on the floor! And yes I do make sure I leave nothing on the seat--that's even more disgusting!

Hey, I told you I don't hover if I have a princess seat. BTW, Hovering and tinkle mess is such a problem that I actually used a restroom once where the establishment asked people not to do it. They used this catchy little jargon posted on the wall of the stall. It was pretty creative.

If you sprinkle while you tinkle ,
Be a sweetie and wipe the seatie

Bravo!

Instead of hovering, why not carry your own toilet seat covers like some us do?

And to all you self professed hovers, do you actually wipe up your tinkle, or just leave it? I know some of you are!!! Surely it isn't the same tinkler that is hitting the same exact restrooms that I am

Not a chance would I leave it, that is beyond disgusting! Why would I make someone else endure wiping it?! I hover only if there are no paper covers--and I can't carry my own because I don't carry a purse...and I'll be darned if I'm going to have them sticking out my back pocket!

Wouldn't have happened to us because nail polish remover (acetone) dissolves superglue easily.
