I caught a bit of a conversation where a woman was saying she never sits on the seat in a public restroom, she always squats over it. That got me thinking, do they lift the seat up when they do that or leave the seat down?
They SHOULD, but a lot of them don’t :mad:
Actually they should just sit on the fecking seat. It’s not that dangerous.
Why would they lift the seat? Dont be silly!
shoot hon, no one wants to touch the seat!
You have to aim good.
No. They piss all over the seat. And sometimes the floor. Then they leave it like that for other people to “discover.”
(Warning: spoiler is set because it’s a TMI)
Even better is when they’ve decided you’d enjoy some menstrual blood tea made from their used tampon that they thought would flush in addition to the urine and toilet paper mess they normally leave.
Ellen Degeneres used to do a routine about this very subject - she does her imitation of a woman squatting over the seat and using a hula hoop at the same time - that was her explanation for the piss everywhere in the women’s restroom.
IMNAF, but I doubt it. The ones who hover would also be the ones who would most fear losing their balance and falling into the water.
OMG! This is all very enlightening. I thought women’s restrooms were clean and sterile with pretty wallpaper and flower petals everywhere.
They usually are quite clean and sometimes do have pretty wallpaper, although I must say I’ve never seen the flower petals.
The fact the restroom is usually as clean (or in some cases, cleaner) than the average home bathroom is what makes the sqatters so damned annoying. They’re in no more danger of getting ass-cooties than they are at home, but they insist on squatting, which usually takes a lot more time and leaves messes for everone else. The thing about women is that we are physicallly incapable of aiming, you see, and the pee sometimes diverts to one side or other, or the woman loses her balance. So the upshot is that squatters not only make the lines longer for us normal human beings, they make the bathroom dirtier, too.
Women’s restrooms clean? Heh…that’s a pretty good one 
Realizing of course that YMMV, but I have had jobs in the past where one of my responsibilities included cleaning the restrooms, both male and female. In my experience, the women’s facilities were usually much worse than the men’s :eek: How’s that for a fright!
The floors would be covered in toilet paper soaked in urine (seat covering) often the toilets would be backed up from people putting all this protective paper IN the toilet. Many times there would be shit ON the seat or even the floor. Water would often be left running in the sink because they didn’t want to touch the nasty faucet with their NOW clean hands.
Let’s not even discuss what gets left in the trash can. <gag reflex>
Thank God there are changing tables and proper waste disposal for shitty diapers now. 
Sorry girls…I know none of you would pull this kind of…
Just recalling memories that won’t seem to go away, dammit.
That was many years ago though. Maybe things are better now?
In all honesty though, I have seen some women’s facilities that were very nice. Extra nice fixtures, plenty of mirrors and waiting areas with carpeting, vanities, sofas and chairs, etc. even plants and artwork.
Never seen a men’s room that opulent. Although the first time I went into one and the guy was selling cigars and offering hand towels I was taken aback. He was just sitting there in a tux at the lavatory watching guys urinate and offering to help. A new experience for me.
At least I think that’s what was going on. 
Oh now, you just need to practice.
Well, were you in a strip club?
In many of the strip clubs I’ve been in, there is an attendant there to remind you to wash your hands before you go back out and fondle the lap-dancin’ lasses. He also sells mints, gum, and spritzes from bottles of the more populare men’s colognes.
(I know, in places like the Ritz Carlton or some such, the mints and the cologne is free, and the guy there hands out hot towels, but you’re still expected to leave a tip in the little basket.)
