What the Hell Is Wrong With..(Warning Gross)

People?

Yesterday, I was heading back from a trip up north and I stopped at a rest area. I needed to go number 2. So I go into the first stall, it had toilet paper all over the bowl and someone apparently diarrhea because that was left in the toilet. I'm wondering if they couldn't flush because they used so much toilet paper or they were just being lazy. So I go into stall number 2, and apparently it took to much effort to lift the seat because someone had peed all over the seat. Nice. I mean they took some effort make sure they got the whole seat. Fortunately there were 3 stalls and I was able to take care of things.

What is it with people? It seems like I am running into this more and more where people can't flush or clean up after themselves. Gah!

Laziness pure and simple. Plus, I don't know if you're male or female I'm guessing male, but women HATE sitting on the seats so they pee all over it trying to "hover" and just make a mess. But really, the freaking faucets and handles are more dirty in those places than anything else.

I hate when people hover! Our bathrooms get so gross and this is just from the hour in between which they are cleaned! They'll be diareah on the walls, or splatter, or urine on the floor, or 9 times out of 10 they didn't flush...and this is a LADY'S REST ROOM!!! I just...I just....Gah!

I'd like to point out that I'm more likely to make a mess if I sit than if I hover, because when I hover a) I'm more likely to be leaning far enough forward (I have a bad habit of sitting up fairly straight) and b) I'm more likely to notice that I need to wipe up after myself. Although I think that b) is less of a problem, I've been noticing my messes and wiping up (but it might only be the extreme ones).

[EvilEmpryss]

I think the women who hover are victims of a self-deluding prophecy. The absolutely believe that toilet seats are disgusting because people leave urine and feces all over them. Why do they believe this?

. . . wait for it. . .

Because they do.

They seem themselves as "normal", so if *they* do it, then surely everyone else must, too. Disgusting bitches.

And that is why they have those funnels so women can pee standing up.

I walked into the camper bathroom the other day at work because I needed to blow my nose...and had a USED tampon thrown at me. Lucky for the girl she missed, because that would not have ended well for her. She and her group hid in the handicapped stall, I went and told the head cook. She took care of them.

Why are people so gross these days?

Ladies, do not hover over the seat. You will not empty your bladder completely, which will eventually lead to a UTI.

I carry a tiny bottle of anti-bac gel when I know I might need to use a public restroom. Squirt on seat, wipe with tissue, voila...clean enough to sit on. Assuming the entire seat is not covered with unmentionable substances, of course, because it would take more than anti-bac gel to fix that!

I do this (the anti-bac thing), and if I feel the need to, I use those paper thingies that sit on the seat. However, those are kind of useless because they don't stay on or they rip or whatever.
I heard that from my doctor, about the UTI thing.

I don't hover. I wouldn't be able to get my bladder muscles to let go if I did! And if there's ANYTHING after, I clean it up. I don't understand why people are disgusting enough to not clean up after themselves. It's freaking gross.

heres another thing the heat created by butt to seat contact actually causes germs to die the seat with more direct contact = clean.

So in other words, if you sit on it with a newspaper for an hour, that seat should be clean enough to eat off of.

Enjoy the thought kids.

Actually, I tend to disagree. During ServSafe training, we were told that temperatures from about 75 degrees Fahrenheit to around 125 degrees Fahrenheit were optimal breeding temps for bacteria. So unless that butt is 145 degrees (165 for raw product, 180 for poultry) Fahrenheit, there's going to be lots of germs.

Sorry if this seems rude, but that's what I learned.

I'm going to weigh in on the "incubator" side of the debate.

And just to clarify: I only hover if the seat has feces or blood or (at work) water splashed up from when the toilet flushed (there's a big difference) and there's no convenient other stall to use. And I'm good about wiping the seat off and the floor (that only only happens if I'm sitting though).

[ThirdGenRetail]

I had a customer hovering in the bathrooms at work one day mention she'd wet herself... I figured out literally two years later that she was hovering over the toilet, not actually SITTING. I go out of my way to find a stall that's got not a drop of urine on it, or anything solid floating in it. Which, considering we have 10 or so stalls, that's a lot that can be passed over... And only 5 actually have a light over them, so I prefer them to be able to optimally SEE what's on the seat or NOT on the seat.

Really? If you insist on hovering, is it SO hard to lift the seat and spare us all that disgusting mess...?

Can we all agree that butts are gross?

Come on guys.
