19th floor, which means there is more than one of them loose out there. Nice.
Sometimes the rolls are really hard to start, I’ve had to claw through layers of the stuff just to get at an end to pull on.
HUH? I have never heard of this. Don’t you drip urine on your clothing and on the floor, etc? How could it be easier to wipe standing up? 
Applauds the OP
I’m fighting the good fight, ladies! I have been known to announce to the bathroom at large “Ewwww, someone peed all over the seat!” when finding such a mess. Knowing full well that all the ladies in there can see the culprit who just walked out of that stall before I went in.
Preach on, sistah.
I have this friend where I work. I like her a whole lot, one of my favorite coworkers, actually. But the other day, I went into the bathroom just as she came out to discover that the *entire toilet seat *was liberally covered in sprayed piss. I did an about face, asked her if she’d just peed all over the toilet seat… her response? “Yes I hover, I’m not putting my ass on that nasty seat!” So, what, we’re all supposed to wallow in your urine, just because your butt is too precious to touch the seat, and you’re too dainty to mop up the three pints of piss you left on the seat? I asked her who was supposed to clean it–“That’s what we have a cleaning crew for,” evidently.
Regrettably, I just stared at her, slack-jawed.
I… I’m not even going to repeat the internal monologue that happened there.
I had the same reaction. There’s no possible way to do it correctly while standing. I don’t get it.
My Pet PEEve is the ol’ Sprinkle ‘n’ Sinker. When they leave both a #1 and #2 for you to contend with. Eeeeewwwwww…I can’t believe some people don’t check to make sure everything made it to the treatment plant.
Or a person with a compromised immune system. I have lupus and before I got things under control I was sick 15 times in six months, including several bouts of strep throat and twice with walking pneumonia. I am now one of those chronic hand washers, complete with pump bottles of hand sanitizer on my desk, in my van, in my purse, etc.
Which is not to say that I don’t have a touch of OCD 
What I don’t understand is, if your piss spray is wide enough to go on the seat, how come it doesn’t hit the backs of your calfs? I am trying to imagine what posistion you would pull to ‘hover’ and the only way I can see it being possible would be to have the backs of your calfs (calfs or calves?) pretty much touching the toilet seat making them well within the range of your piss. I also don’t understand why these woman have such a chronic phobia of touching a (clean) toilet seat with their asses.
Of course what everyone has had too much class to mention so far is when you go in the stall and the liquid sprinkled over the seat is not clear or white, but pink and red. Eeeew.
People are so damned thoughtless it drives me bananas. I can understand the reluctance to sit on a public toilet seat (it’s usually irrational, but I can understand the impulse). But why the hell can’t they lift the seat to hover? Oh, because nobody matters except them, I forgot.
I’m not overly delicate or phobic about it - even if the seat is pissy, I’ll just dry it off and sit down, since pee doesn’t usually carry many germs. However, I am one of those people who tries not to touch the pull handle on my way out of the restroom. This is because I know the same kind of self-centered jerk is out there who will wipe her ass and then walk out of the bathroom without washing her hands. Sometimes just for good measure she’ll blow her snotty nose or indulge in some nice wet coughing into her palm before grabbing the handle. Yech! (I don’t throw my paper towels on the floor though!)
Oh and I don’t think hovering causes incontinence; but tensing your leg muscles to hover prevents you from completely emptying your bladder, so if you did it all the time you’d be more prone to UTIs.
:o Well, echoing Karl Grenze, that’s the way I was taught. When it did occur to me to try it sitting down, well, I had a hard time cramming my hand between my fat thighs and figured it was easier to keep doing it standing up. But, geez, you make it sound like it’s still pouring when I stand up. It doesn’t take but a moment of rest for the dripping to stop and it’s safe to stand up, for pity’s sake.
And I’ll go on the record and admit that, if I’ve sprinkled when I tinkled, I was a sweetie and wiped the seatie.
smirk, I thought I was the only one “mean” enough to do this. Only, I’m usually really dramatic and loud about it. Like “OH GROSS, someone just peed on the seat, and then LEFT it there, some people…etc”.
Women can be absolute pigs in public restrooms. Last weekend I went out to a club with some friends. There was one working stall (out of maybe 5) in the ladies room. The others were plugged full of stopped up toilet paper and one even had a beer bottle in the toilet bowl (did someone actually think that would flush? and who brings their beer into the stall with them anyway?). The one working stall had piss all over the toilet seat.
Having used many a skanky Port O Pot, I’ve gotten pretty good with the hover technique (I also ride horses and jumping position is pretty damn close to the hover). However, I always lift the seat first. Always. You can always lift it with a TP covered hand, and I’ve never had the seat spring back and hit me. Think about it. Guys have to lift the seat all the time–it’s not like the seats have some kind of spring back recoil action. Okay, even if you’re not considerate, lifting the seat gives you a larger target so you have less chance of “splash back” if you miss.
Our office recently remodeled the bathrooms and they all have automatic flushers. They’re wonderful things. It boggled my poor little brain, but before we had them there were numerous times I’d walk into a stall only to find an unflushed toilet. Who neglects to flush after they’ve finished?
Thank you for that. I don’t care what goes on the stall as long it’s left clean.
And wow, I can’t believe this thread is two pages long!
Goes on in the stall… :smack: Of course I care what goes on the stall.
Hail to this thread! Messy pissers are a big peeve of mine.
Ever notice too, that when someone doesn’t flush, it’s never just a little pee or a little poo pellet? Nope, it’s always some slimy, chunky diarrhea or a period that looks like the chum you see fed to sharks.
