Women's Restroom Vent

[lucas]

I am a hoverer when I see a wet seat. If the seat is dry and looks clean then I sit. I am an accurate hoverer! LOL! If it is wet I refuse to sit and I am not cleaning someone else's drippings!

I would never clean up a mess left by someone else! UGH!

 

[precious pixie]

Even at work I lysol the toliet before sitting on it. Now just because it looks cleacn does not mean it is. If someone sprinkled on the seat and then just wiped it with toliet paper it may look clean but all of their gross pee germs are still there.

This is also why when going somewhere like Disney and I know I will have to use the public restroom I carry along some clorox wipes

And I dont just stop there, I use my foot to flush, when washing my hands if you have to turn off the water I use a paper towel, and I use a paper towel to open the bathroom door to leave. I am sure we have all seen a nonwasher and I just dont want to have anything to do with their pee germs

This is what I do. I get in there, take a big HUGE wad of toliet paper and wipe the seat down, then I flush. Then I line the seat with more toliet paper. I make sure the toliet paper is long enough to be hanging off the sides. I do this for myself as well as my 7 yr old daughter.

I've done this also. This probably explains why there aresuch long lines for the women's room. Why can't places just install disposible toliet seat covers like WDW does? This gives ladies a safe place to sit. Just wipe the seat down first if it appears wet, place the toliet seat cover down, and go. A lot faster than layering and balancing toliet paper like a jigsaw puzzle.

Wow! I thought this thread would have dried up by now (pun intended )...good to know I'm not the only one and by this!

I have been in restrooms that have this violent flushes. I was trying not to get hit by the toilet spray. Now if it is yellow, then the spaceship was too high.

Yes, but the one thing thats unavoidable is opening the stall door. If you're grossed out at those that aren't washing their hands, think about it, they've used those hands to open the stall door also. Yuck!

That just goes to show -- you can come up with an interesting, thought-provoking thread and get 5 responses. Pee and puke, however, draws a crowd.

I never sit on a public restroom seat unless paper seats are provided. I hate using a public restroom & will only pee in them. I sprinkle but I'm neat & do wipe the seat.

Oh believe me I have thought of that too. If its a slide over lock I try to use my elbow and otherwise I just have to take comfort in the fact that I am going right over to the sink o wash my hands with warm soapy water for 30 secs. Washing for 30 seconds is the most important thing you can do otherwise your hands arent really clean

I will not let my children pee in public restrooms I carry a tiny little potty in my trunk and we do peeps in the car. I know I have issues but I just can't.

YEEK! that can't be a good idea can it?

Ya know..this thread reminded me of something I read once that totally cracked me up.
The Happiest Potties on Earth

But LittleEinsteins4: What happens someday when you are out and really really need to use a restroom....your kids might be overheard saying...."Mommy, what are we doing in here, we always go potty in our car?".....that could be odd.....

And what do you do with the (cough, cough) the pee/poop after....leave it in the car all day until you are back home?

OMG! This is me to a tee...only, I don't use Lysol at work, I use the clorox wiped there as well, on the toilet and the sink...So glad I'm not the only one this neurotic about using public bathrooms.

For real. There is just something really gross about that.

For all the foot flushers, how do you accomplish that in high heels? Especially the kind with the thinner, sort of spiky heels? Aren't you afraid you're going to fall over?

I just now saw this thread and totally agree. How hard is it not to make a mess. We had a new Wal-mart open less than 2 weeks ago. The bathrooms are already disgusting with all kinds of things smeared on the wall. I usually go at home but being pregnant I can't time it as well as I used to be able to!

I have actually told some of my fellow coworkers and I have even converted 1 to being as "thorough" as we are

yes only do it if you are steady falling on the floor would be about the worst thing that could happen! I dont even want to think about whats on the floor

 

[Shugardrawers]

I carry baby wipes in my purse in a zippy bag because I can clean the seat and if there's no paper I have something to wipe with. Then I just flush them away.

I wish the hoverers understood that their hovering is what causes the mess on the seats to begin with. If they'd just sit down it wouldn't be so gross!
