Am i gross for not using those toilet papers?

[satinbutterfly]

I never use the toilet covers, if it's wet/dirty... I'll wipe it down (love having baby wipes at all times). I don't hover, I'll put my ass right on the seat.

Here's some food for thought for you people afraid of toilet seats.

For a sanitary surface to be considered clean and clean enough to eat off of(and not be ill), it must have no more than 1,000 bacteria per square inch. Most(if not all) toilet seats pass that test.

The average bathroom floor contains 2 million bacteria per square inch... that's about 200 times higher than a sanitary surface. Other things that generally 'fail' that test are: sanitary napkin disposal, the bathroom door handles/locks, phones, money. Money I think still ranks the filthiest thing you could touch.

People are way too crazy about these things these days.

you should be doing that at home anyway not in a public potty

Sometimes I drive 8+ hours...what if the urge hits? Can't go home for that.

I use the covers and always hit the flusher with my shoe...never touch it because anyone who touches it hasn't washed yet......:eek

What's the harm in touching it if you're about to wash up anyway?

Just a devil's advocate question... I never touch either. I'm a foot flusher.

just sitting on some one else's drips.. just makes me wanna puke... *shutters*.. ok now I wanna puke just thinking that.

i always wipe the seat down first and am not shy about standing on the seat and squatting over it like they do in asia.

all else fails and the crapper is just way too gross, austin has plenty of green space everywhere and it's easy to duck off behind a nice, wholesome bush and wipe with nice, soft leaves.

The handle is what gets me. You touch that after you wash, but everyone touches it, regardless of if they've washed. It's bad enough seeing folks go tinkle (yes, tinkle) and not wash, but to have someone drop a massive load that could choke a donkey and just walk right out without even thinking of washing.... I mean yeah I'm lazy and have other things to do or not do too, but c'mon!! :yuk​

aeroplane toilets are worse...
you won't find any restaurant in air: so you will have those toilets alone, use them or not

The worst I've ever had to use was on a Greyhound Bus, those buses are truly filthy and disgusting.

A lot of older places haven't, for some reason, switched to the auto flusher. And I like those cuz you don't have to touch a handle, but sometimes they flush like five times while you're trying to use it..lol. I feel like I"m wasting water

I'm not even going to *touch* this topic.

I think the seat covers are completely pointless. They are there to cover the seat so you don't get germ...whatev. BUT yet they have them typically right above the toilet seat and the toilet sprays ALL OVER!!! Those covers are being sprayed constantly! I've never seen seat covers in a completely closed holder. Typically part of them are hanging out so yup they get sprayed from everything that toilet sprays out.

I do not use them because of this. I'd rather hover over the toilet seat.
