I had a job bagging groceries when I was in college. At this store, the the baggers were also responsible for cleaning the restrooms. And in my experience, the women’s bathroom was usually nastier than the men’s, precisely due to women “hovering” and getting pee all over the seat (and sometimes there were a couple of pubic hairs stuck to it for good measure). Although at the time I didn’t know about hovering, so I was really confused as to how women were getting pee on the toilet seat.
But i assume it’s because the seat is already down, and they don’t want to touch it. Women usually leave the seat down, ya know. The only time i see seats up on a public women’s room is sometimes right after they’ve been cleaned.
On Italian trains, the seat is on springs, and pops up when you get off it. This has the virtue that lazy people don’t pee on it, and i rather liked it.
We’ve had a number of severe thunderstorms, and hail damage, in this area this spring. The roof repair people have been relentless since then: texts, phone calls, people knocking at the front door.
Mine actually has a straight blade, too, but the picture was similar enough that i linked it. I just call it a spatula. Mostly i don’t have to name it, because mostly i just pull it out of the drawer and use it, without taking about it.
That’s a large offset spatula. They’re good for griddle work, like at the Waffle House. We had one growing up, but it never saw much use, as we don’t have a large-assed griddle.
