When I was little, my mom taught me the art that is squatting when using a public washroom. As I got older, I basically said F-this-noise and began covering the seat with toilet paper and sitting instead. I couldn't be bothered to get a leg workout--relalistically, people--while trying to pee.
That said, I would never not at least wipe the seat so it always surprises me when people just run in and sit down. A friend of mine once did that without looking and sat in someone else's pee (ick!), so I always check.
Do you squat or sit? Are you diligent like me about wiping the seat?
Oh I always squat. I would NEVER, I REPEAT never SIT on a public toilet seat. N.A.S.T.Y.!!!!
ReplyDeleteI remember reading somewhere that the toilet seat is actually a lot cleaner than the door knobs and other items people touch a lot. I still squat...although it sucks when the toilets are low or when you're a little drunk and your balance is off. :)
ReplyDelete@Rebecca That's very true, balancing on those seats can be tricky when you are three sheets to the wind!
ReplyDeleteI am a wrapper, I hate squatting. It makes me feel like I am peeing in the bushes or something LOL.
@Anon: LOL
ReplyDelete@Rebecca: Yes! I read that too! I never touch the handle on the door (ICK!!).
I judge the bathroom. If it's disgusting and can't hold it, I not only wipe I will add 2 layers of TP AND squat! If it's moderately clean (as clean as a public toilet can be) I will layer up and sit. THEN I flush the toilet with my foot and open the door with paper towel!
ReplyDeleteI should really just squat cause I'd have amazing legs by now lol
It depends. At my workplace, nice restaurants and hotels I just sit without any cover. In fast food places I don't sit.
