Do you cover public toilet seats before using them?

[Don Vito Corleone]

Ass gaskets are for wimps and OCD germophobes. No for me.

 

[nageov3t]

in ancient rome, they used urine as a teeth whitener :shocked:

 

[oddyager]

I wipe it down with TP first.

 

[CellarDoor]

The cowboy hats aren't hanging on the wall to look pretty. Of course I cover the seat.

 

[PingSpike]

Public toilets are disgusting. Crap in the sink FTW.

 

[Thraxen]

That's cool that many of you don't wipe the seat down, but some of us aren't into scat.

 

[eits]

i don't because it doesn't make a difference. it's just more of a hassle whenever i'm in a hurry.

plus, i look for the stall that has a clean seat to begin with. if i can't find one and i can't hold it until i get home, i'll wipe a seat down really well before i sit.

you'll still get crabs even with the paper. the paper cover only tricks people into thinking the toilet's safer to use than if you didn't have the paper cover on.

I wipe it down and then put 2-3 layers of TP on the sides and back of the seat.

Some people are nasty creatures.
I'm not afraid of catching a disease...its just I don't want everyone's feces/piss contacting my skin...that is gross and unclean.

ftw

Where is "I never use a public restroom for #2" option? I feel as if my body has trained itself to avoid this disgusting situation, and #1 too to a lesser extent, as it never seems to happen unless I am wasted and dying for a pee.

the secret is that the seat is what's dirty and viral... so what i do is poop with the seat lifted up and sit on the toilet ring itself.

I prefer not to come in contact with dried ass sweat from strangers. it's why i put towels down on gym equipment other people use.

If anyone before you has flushed the toilet with the seat down, that toilet ring has been covered with splashback and vapour from said flushing. Enjoy.

what'll happen if you do touch salt from someone else? you'll get sick? no... you wont... nothing will happen. you'll just sit easier while you're taking a dump.

 

[jinduy]

i'm amazed at the number of people here who enjoy having urine residue stuck to their thighs.

 

[Falloutboy]

god you people are pussies.

 

[michaels]

I use the crapper at work daily. I will spray Lysol and wipe it down twice.

its not about becoming sick. never said that. though having the peace of mind that i'm not sitting on other people's residual remains of their urine, or sweat, or whatever is on there for the 3 minutes I'm in there is okay.

Wipe with TP, then drop log. This is the proper method. The actual delima here is this: Do you read a newspaper or a book?

 

[clamum]

I usually do a quick wipe the seat with TP, that's it.

 

[doze]

Wipe it off then place the mandatory flap of TP over the front to keep the weenis from touching the seat/bowl

 

[gooseman]

Always

 

[tfinch2]

No. I'm not a paranoid weiner. Plus if I'm going to use a public restroom to sh!t, 90% of the time there is no time to take my time and clean the damn seat. If someone has pissed on it, it's not my job to clean it. I'll just go to another stall.

Take with a grain of salt, because of the source of the article, but they do make an irrefutable point:
Why do medical and health laboratories consider *all* bodily fluids as infectuous, yet you can lick a public restroom wet toilet seat with your tongue and be perfectly sanitary / worry-free?
