Yuck-wet toilet seat!

[Happywanderer]

Just got back from the bathroom. Ok, I sit on the toilet seat. Really have no choice because the knees can't handle squatting. Sat down to do my business and--yuck, someone had pee'd on the seat. Nothing I could do at that point because I already had committed--so to speak.

Now, I understand why some people might not want to sit on the toilet seat, but if you're going to be squatting anyway, why don't you lift the seat up--so those of us who come after you don't get an unhappy suprise in case you aren't very accurate.

Sorry, just had to vent.

Be careful what you say. When you say "just had to vent" that could be taken differently especially in a thread like this.

Are you sure it was pee? At my work, the toilets do this turbo flush thing and it sprays water all over the seat. So, we've all learned to wipe the seat down before we sit just for that reason. I'll sit here at work because I know everyone, but in public, I hover. I lift the seat up and then put it back so someone doesn't fall in , but if the toilet sprays during flushing, I can't help that.

Maybe it wasn't that bad....maybe it was just spray from the flush.

 

[Happywanderer]

Venting LOL

And yes, it was pee. I know what you mean about the turbo toilets, but this wasn't the case.

I look the seat over from every possible angle before I sit. If there is one drop of "anything" I'll wipe the seat off with TP first.

I'm a seat inspector also. :lol I just can't understand how women can be so disgusting and gross.

 

[Robmom]

Gross. I see that a lot at work. I can see sprinkling can happen, but clean up after yourself.

 

[cjhinch]

That happens to me almost every morning her at home, because my 8 year old just can't seem to grasp the concept of lifting the seat!!

Me, too (on all accounts).

If they don't want to touch the toilet seat with their butts, what makes you think they'll touch it with their hands?

I think it's rude to pee on the seat too.

This is it for me too, but it is my 7, 11 and 36 year olds kids. (yes I am calling DH a kid at this time, he does not do it but once in a blue moon, but still)

This burns by buns when someone does this too.. (no pun intended) I can't help but think of the elderly who are unable to squat and are left with no other choice but to sit on the toilet seat or children who are not tall enough.

Quite a few years ago I saw the neatest thing at Chicago O'Hare Airport. They had self cleaning toilet seats. When the toilet was flushed a plastic film rotated over the toilet seat so that it was clean. Pretty cool.

I can't remember exactly where I saw it, but a while ago there was an article that showed that the dollar bill has more germs on it that a New York City Subway restroom???

 

[Tigger&Belle]

Add me to the list of toilet inspectors. I don't pee on seats, but if I were to, I'd clean it up.

I so hope the tag fairy is not reading this thread or we are all toast!

 

[Happywanderer]

You know, I think I remember one of the casinos here in MI having that exact same thing. But the next time I went there they didn't have that anymore--maybe to expensive? I thought it was a great idea.

 

[Syrreal]

I remember when MIA put in those self covering oilets. There was a huge deal made about it because each toilet cost some ridiculous amount (1K or 10K or something like that- I don't remember the number)

As far as the seats go... I paper them. I hate perching and it's bad for your bladder too. So if there is a seat cover, I put that on. If not, a layer of paper goes on. Atleast then I can see if there is liquid on the seat.

I'm a seat inspecting, toilet wiping, foot flushing fool! (we need a toilet smiley!)

My son had a problem with lifting the seat too. It made me think of my brother, who to this day, at 29 years old, still pees on the seat as far as I know. So I gave it some thought, decided that I wouldn't have my son doing that, and took action! When he was about 7, he's been warned over and over to lift the seat, and I was tired of sitting in it. So I told him "one more time and you're going to find out what happens when dogs pee where they're not supposed to". He didn't listen, so I took him in the bathroom and rubbed his nose in it.
He's 14 now and I've never seen him do it since.

Yup, they still have these! Very cool, although they confused the heck out of my grandmother the one time I flew with her. She'd never seen automatic flushing toilets or sink faucets, either! Grandma is a home-body and doesn't get out much, in fact I'm still surprised she took the trip with me in the first place!

I worked at a restaurant as a hostess, and it was the hostess's job to clean the womans bathroom, we had to check every 15 minutes. I'd come in, clean up a ton of mess, leave it nice and clean. Go back 15 minutes later and it looked like a tornado went through the place. Do people live like this at home????

 

[imsorry]

I hate to sound sarcastic, but don't you look first? I always use a seat cover if they are available; it not, toilet paper on the seat. If it is wet, you will see it right away. If not, you are "covered".

Sorry this happened to you
