Is it normal to believe that sitting bare-assed on public toilets is gross?

I have noticed that lots of my coworkers don't use toilet seat barriers. They will just open the stall door, adjust their clothing and just plop their asses on public toilet seats. They don't bother even bother to inspect the seat. Am I the only one who thinks this behavior is very nasty and unsafe?

I sit bare-assed on public toilet seats always and its safe and fine. 67
I would only sit bare-assed on a public toilet seat if I wiped it off. 40
I would "prefer" not to sit bare-assed on public toilet seats..nasty. 38
I wouldn't sit bare-assed on a public toilet seat even if I wiped off. 50
I always use a toilet seat liner when I use a public toilet seat. 37
I wipe the seat and I use a toilet seat liner on public toilet seats. 33
Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    What about hovering? That's what I do, maybe that's what some of your co-workers are doing. I don't think a flimsy see-thru paper seat cover is an effective barrier to whatever is lurking on a toilet seat anyway, it only offers a false sense of security.

      yeah but when you hover, you get that splash back that happens when you fire a torpedo from above air

      Its easier to just plop on down and wipe with baby wipes when your done or shower the minute you get home

    It's not ok to sit bare arsed on public toilets.... at the end of the day you wash your hands right after a toilet visit ? so anyone out there who does go bare arsed my question is this : do you wash your arse afterwards also ?

    I cant honestly remember the last time I had to use a public toilet,thank god. I positively absolutely hate and shun the fucking things...
    Oh yes, and when i've had no other choice, the hover method has been deployed.

    I carry around antiseptic wipes in my purse and used those when I go to a public toilet. I'm in there forever b/c I have to find the dang wet wipe in my purse, hang my purse on the hook, open the package, wipe down the seat, let it air dry a bit.. and then and ONLY then do I allow myself to pee. lol

    I hate breathing within the vicinity of a public toilet, so sitting is a last measure for me.

  • Public toilet seats... In this day and age, you just never know what sorts of contagious growths; warts, pustules, and bubons (among other amazing things) might be growing off someone's backside, twat, junk, or thighs...especially the prozzies and the rock stars. If you have to use a public toilet seat, you should make sure that your skin is not in direct contact with it and that it's dry. Wipe the seat off and apply an adequate amount of lining to it.

  • People actually piss on the toilet seats so yeah ofcourse its digusting.

    However, whenever I do take a dump I put six layers of toilet paper on the seat to prevent my ass from touching it.

    I'm a chic and I've noticed that too. I've notice all sorts of nasty things on the toilet seats in a women's bathroom that is just not right. At work, people leave urine sprinkled or showered on the seat, fecal marks, menstuation, fecal particles in the toilet.. I mean, really have some decency as a woman. THEN, I've even noticed them go in and out without even washing their hands. I try to hurry and look at the shoes so I know who doesn't wash their hands in the office. I wash my hands 2 times.. EVERYTIME!.. I know this bothers some people, because when they are using the bathroom you can tell they epwant you to hurry and get out.. We all know it's awkward.. But I don't care.. I'm gonna wash my hands, because those SAME hands touch the doors and locks of the stall.

    The proper way to wash your hands is to lather them and to clean them up to your wrists.. For the length of time you sing the song 'happy birthday to you' .. My mom used to work at a food manufacturing co, and she taught me that. They were supremely strict. If you had an itch and you scratched your face with the gloves on.. You were programmed to have to immediately stop and replace your gloves. They were constantly being educated on proper work hygeine and food safety, in regard to the food they handled.

    I read of a study that showed that fecal germs can spread through up to 10 layers of toilet paper. So...enjoy your feces even if you use a cover.

    • I guess 11 layers is the charm.

      Ew, really? Never heard that one before. Only that when you flush the microrganisms can go 5 or 6 feet away. And I thought that was bad. . .

    "I sit bare-assed on public toilet seats always and its safe and fine."

    With one exception ... if it's wet. Then I'll dry it off.

    As for "fecal germs" ... as if my own feces doesn't generate them already?

    This is why you wash your hands after using the toilet. So you don't let those germs travel from your ass to your mouth.
