If you're that paranoid, you shouldn't leave the house.
 
Seems kinda ironic that they're all squatting over the seat beacause it's dirty. If they would all just sit on the seat from the get-go then the seat would never get dirty in the first place.

Women, go figure.
 
man... i posted this in the other thread but like 2 weeks ago some dumbass shitted on the wall and reservoir of the toilet at the gym. omg it was sick. it was like someone painted the wall with shit. how is that even possible? i should have took pictures and put them on ratemypoo.
 
Not just woman- there was a guy at the place I worked at that squatted...every day he would spray the back of the bowl/top of seat + tank part with shit....sooo nasty and I really felt bad for the janitor- he was this really nice guy that eveyrone liked and each day he knew he had to go clean that shit up....ugh...
I've known a couple other guys that would do that as well...I couldnt care less about my ass touching the seat...
 
A lot of restrooms in China are squatters...they might be converting a lot of the ones in Beijing into regular toilets for the Olympics.

I'm not paranoid, he asked the question and I was just answering it. I coulda worded the last part better though. I only put TP on the seat if its a public restroom, in my house I could care less.
 
Interesting.....I just on the dam toilet seat!

Heres another quirky toilet thing. My mate told me he would go in to the toilet to have a micro sleep of a few minutes! HAHA! If I even attempted that I would be in there for a few hours fully knocked out asleep! He says he feels great after a few minutes sleep like that!

Some people do that...if I'm not mistaken some cultures tend to do that (I could be wrong though)

If I had to shit like there was no tomorrow, and the toilet was disgusting as all hell, I'd probably squat too...

I had to do that at some rundown shithole gas station on my way through Chicago once. Fuck that was disgusting. *barf*
 
Have you ever been in a Port-Potty on a construction site ???

Where you sit would sometimes be covered in poo and wee wee........

Oooohh.....in the hot months....the smell................and the maggots....

I used to do field service as an Instrument Technician.

I carried water and several rolls of TP with me..


Used Gator-aid once to wash the seat and dried it with TP.....gator-aid gets sticky after it dries......

When women 'squat' over the toilet, it's not usually with their feet on the toilet seat. It's with their feet on the ground and their butts hovering above the seat. I don't know any women who do it with their feet on the seat. That would seem like a good way to end up with wet legs (either from peeing on them, or from the splashing toilet water.)

I think there may be some cultures that *do* stand on the seat to squat. My spouse works with a LOT of Indians, and he said that he thinks they might stand on the toilet when they are in the stall because he's seen shoe prints on the seat, facing the door, quite often.

I'm definitely hands down a squatter. And I'm a guy. But yeah, no way in hell I'm sitting on a public toilet seat to take a #2.

Anyway, that's how I do it - feet on the ground. And anyone else I know.

We had a guy in high school that got a job at a McDonalds for first shift, from day one he went and immediately slept in one of the the stalls after partying all night. He 'worked' there for almost 6 months before they figured it out.

:laugh:

That's just so wrong.


If you're that darn worried about sitting, the other option would of course be to get some soapy paper towels and clean the seat yourself. The soap in the dispenser is probably antibacterial.

I kinda want to see pics of someone perched on top of a toilet like a gargoyle while they drop a deuce. That would just be begging for a "YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG" caption.

Followed by a pic of the person right after falling: "FAIL"

I'm think it's just her. She was never potty trained correctly and as such she stands on the toilet. It's just her.

I think thats it.

Squatting on the seat itself?

If she's that worried she should just hold it in and wait until you get home.
 
It is common in Asian cultures. I grew up going number 2 like that, with my feet on the toilet seat. But as I got older and bigger I found it more and more difficult to keep my balance so I just changed to sitting on the seat with my ass.

It depends on the situation, vomit has been known to get on toilet seats...

Is that like getting gonorrhea from a tractor?
 
Penn & Teller did an episode on Bullshit! where they looked into the claim that public toilets are filthy. As I recall, they found that most people's butts are cleaner than their faces!
