Women: Do you sit on the toilet seat in public?
818478
Hovering has it's advantages...those seat covers do nothing, if the seat is wet it goes right through them as well as any toilet paper you put down so what's the point?  Hovering can also be looked at as a strength training exercise, building strong quad muscles in the legs (hey, I'm looking for a bright side here to hovering).   But if I get so much as a drop of tinkly on the toily seat I am considerate enough to wipe it off.  I have never understood how women can pee all over the seat and then just leave it there?  Or worse yet, after going a very messy poo just leaving it for others to walk in on and view.  I pity the poor soul (minimum wage employee's usually) who have to clean it up.  People need to have some class!!!

not in public restrooms...here is my reasoning: my body is pretty clean...i know if i have a cold or something...and the skin on certain areas of my body is not any "germ-ier" than any other part.\n\nPublic restrooms w sinks people touch...counter tops people touch...paper dispensers people touch....can be really germy. I have no idea what these other people have picked up.\n\nSo, in a public restroom, I do not wash my hands. In my own home or at friends house...I usually do. Not always...but usually.

It's not the SEAT so much, it's the LID. First, no one likes looking at the inside of the toilet, especially not when brushing teeth. Second, it's piggish to NOT leave the bathroom as neat as (or neater than) you found it and ready for the next person. Third, now wouldn't it be awful if your stuff kept 'just happening' to fall in? (I have no idea how how your  personal stuff keeps getting from your bedroom to the bathroom, much less into the toilet bowl -- but if you'd put the lid down, this wouldn't happen!)

Have you ever, in your entire life, seen an infant of either sex sit down to pee? No, of course not. They have to be taught that through what we refer to as 'potty training', and it takes a long time and quite a bit of work, with inevitable backsliding.\n\nIn other words it is quite clearly the case that the female 'race' has to be taught to pee sitting down. It's 'instinctive' to pee in whatever position you are in at the time you feel the urge. All else is taught.

ok this is a weird question but i have to admit that i take long sometimes. i live with a lot of people and my bathroom time is a good time for me to relax and have some quiet. so i kinda cherish my poop time

There's something about the use of men's rooms I would have been happier not knowing.  Do you want me to tell you how disgusting some women are in public rest rooms?

This is funny.  From an etiquette point of view, they should be free to use your bathroom.  However, I have a friend of mine who gets his jollies off of clogging my toilet from his stool.  So, for him, under NO circumstances can he use my toilet.  I know it is poor etiquette, but I can't afford a plumber every time he stuffs up my toilet with his crap.

No, it´s not weird ... I do that do ... e.g. on public toilets which are dirty, I don´t wanna sit down - that´s why I pee standing up.\nI also like it.

they never use toilet paper. they consider wiping filthy. they instead wash whenever they do #2. public toilets in many mid-eastern countries have a hose and nozzle near them.

when we all grow the appropriate appendages to pee while standing up!  If you want to make out with a woman with a package in her pants, then that's up to you, but I think most straight men would rather just put the toilet seat down after they've used it!

you got it right, why should us guys have to do the double touch on the toilet! up before and down after.\n\nforget that, in this day and age with equality issues all around i think that if guys have to put it down then women have to put it up!\n\nSilly females think they can control us....

I have noticed that public toilets tend to flush very violently which spits stuff out onto the seats quite often!  So it probably isn't the fault of the previous toilet-user.  It is the toilet itself.

Good grief - put a seat cover or some tissue on the seat (if you're paranoid) and go.  I think all of you "squatters" are the ones who pee all over the seat.  If you sit - you don't make a mess - and it's not nearly as self-centered.

Well, that's interesting. You see, I, at one time, had a friend who owned a convenience store(like mom&pop) who begged me to do some remodeling. After a short period of phenagling, he convinced me to help him run the place while he ran his daily errands. It became convenient to me to keep some of my tools at his store so that I might leave directly from there to other construction projects. In his realising that he had not the storage space for my items, He insisted that he close the female restroom, and allowed me to use it as my personal area for storage. Well, after that, it was obvious to me that this was also my personal bathroom, as I was the only one with the key. To this date, I feel more comfortable with using the facilities given than at any other time in my life.\n  So , I would have to say yes to your question of 'Do I use the same toilet cubicle'.

If you are the only  gender using this toilet...males leave it up...females leave it down.  If coed toilet leave it down as it helps avoid problems. Clean toilets impress women so you can score some points here if you wipe up any spills...clean it after using for the BIG one.\nModern Toilet was invented by English guy Sir John Crapper ?  think that was his name  :-)   Enjoy your reading room.
