I just joined SDMB. Someone asks for a vomit smiley and someone provides a vomit smiley. God, I love you people.
People aim to please, here :)… sometimes. Also, welcome!
Bestest newbie post I’ve ever read.
Welcome aboard!
I agree- raise the lid and clean it up. Both.
For the nausea- have you tried Ginger?
It very well could be female. A lot of women “hover” which means they pee all over the seat. And if they are too germ-aphobic to sit on a seat then they ain’t gonna wipe it. :mad: :eek:
Sorry, I think you are doing your male co-workers a wrong here. But you are right in your basic rant.
I mentioned this in another thread. I work in a very isolated area of a very large hospital. They just finished the bathrooms across the hall from our lab.
There is very little chance any random stranger or patient could wander into our area. So that leaves only employees; doctors, nurses, lab rats, floor runners, and environmental services.
Someone carved the words “DIE BITCH” into the toilet paper dispenser in the male bathroom stall. Yes, carved. As in, they took a sharp object wanted to communicate the fact that they wanted to kill some woman to the rest of the male employees in the area.
Weirder things have happened I guess.
I’m the employee with an odd sense of humor who hung up a note that said hidden cameras in the bathroom were for security purposes only.
I would prefer that the hoverers lift the seat to pee and wipe it down when they’re done. There is less chance of droplets on the toilet rim than the seat.
If they’re so freaking worried about sitting on a dry toilet seat, how can they justify making the next person sit in their pee?
I think Mindfield made it.
I’ve tried pretty much everything (including ginger). I just seem to have a ridiculously sensitive stomach. But thanks for the advice! I appreciate the thought.
I didn’t intend to be biased against my male co-workers, but I hadn’t thought of the possibility of a female lifting the seat, since I would never think of using the toilet that way.
So, fuck the messy females, too! 
There are actually a few of my co-workers on various shifts that I could see doing something like this, much as it shames me to admit.
