Today I had to tinkle while at my hubby's office. So I go in, sit down, & the seat was warm. Yeah, you heard me right - the seat was warm.
After the initial disgust wore off [about 2 hours later - especially since I knew who's gross booty had gotten the seat warm], it got me thinking about public bathrooms. *Shudder.*
How is it possible that we dare to set our bare booty down somewhere that could have endless germs? Endless, I say!
Even if you use a seat condom, layers and layers of toilet paper, squat, or all three - it's pretty sick if you think about.
But that's the thing, we don't think about it. Do we? We're out shopping [or visiting our hubby at work where there are only 5 people who use the bathroom] & we have to tinkle, so we go do our business. If we actually thought about it, I don't think we'd ever leave the house....or we'd come home to tinkle.
I know that's my new game plan.
I'm not a germaphobe, I promise. It's just my booty on the line here & it makes me a little bit concerned. I don't ever want to experience a warm seat, ever again! Not even in my own home [I love you, Reese - but come on, no one wants that.]
So, now I am thinking about it. I can't help it. And now you're all thinking about it too [bwahahah!], so I'd love to hear your thoughts on the matter.

My mom taught me at a very young age how to do the "hover over the seat at least a couple of inches" manoeuver, so that's usually what I do. I also use my foot to flush (on non-automatic flushing toilets), and use my elbows to open and close doors as much as possible. But you're right. We really CAN'T think about it too much, or we'd never leave the house, right??? lol
This is how I feel about public bathrooms, and it's a pretty unpopular opinion so brace yourself!
I think it's the squaters (no offense Jill!) and the people who work so hard to NOT sit on the seat that cause issues for everyone else. THEY'RE the ones who get the seats wet and gross! Sit your rear down! There are more germs on your keyboard and the door to the bathroom than on the toilet seat. AND, it's your butt...seriously, who catches colds and viruses through their BUTT?
lol
Seriously though, I sit unless I have a specific reason NOT to (like if the bathroom is just skank dirty or some squater peed all over the seat OR if it's a portopotty). I don't touch the handles though, I use my foot and I always go into the first stall because it's usually the least used, so it's usually the cleanest.
I hate public restrooms and avoid them at all costs. If I absolutely cannot wait until I get home I hover and then wipe the seat when I am done if I miss the target. I also use my foot to flush. I have seen some pretty nasty toilets and that scared me enough to avoid them all together if possible. I usually can hold it until I get home.
I tend to hoover or squat.. build up those thigh muscles.. heh
it is nasty though... agreed..
