Damn! I just sat in pee. Why do women insist on squating over public toilet seats and making a mess of them?

Just last night as my family was waiting for our meal, my daughter returned from the restroom with that statement. I continually also hear it from my wife nearly every time she uses a public facility. Why can't women simply sit on the seat as it is intended and not soil it?

    For the same reason you insist upon making generalizations.

    Women Squating

    I find it incredibly hypocritical and ironic that the very people who do not want to sit on the toilet are the ones who leave it full of germs. Most people are ignorant to the fact that it is VERY difficult to "catch" anything from a toilet seat. If everyone just sat on the seat and allowed their body waste to land IN the toilet, all seats would be clean and dry.

    The funniest part of this stupid habit people have is that if they were not so ignorant they would realize that toilet seats are actually cleaner than door knobs. Germs from door knobs get on your hands and then from there, when you touch your face, eyes or mouth, you contaminate yourself. Now, how on earth are your buttocks or thighs going to infect your face? That is what these squatting idiots just do not comprehend.

    I agree public bathrooms are disgusting. Consequently most ladies chose to half squat, consequently you might have much less hazard of aiming effectively. Nevertheless, you should smooth the seat after your self. I consistently held my youngsters in my hands when the used the public bathroom - i would not ever let them touch a public rest room seat and sure you easy up after them. I hate public bathrooms, councils should have extra, you should pay and there should be an attendant continually - convey bathrooms again to a provider now not a dump. (pardon the expression)

    I always make a toilet paper seat. My legs are way to short to squat. And i always wipe it down before and after, the last thing I'd want is to leave the toilet for someone else to go in straight after me and see pee on the seat! I'd be mortified!!!

    I can understand people not wanting to sit on them, in this filthy day and age.
