Hovering is just as bad. Because standing causes small deoplets of urine to splash out of the toilet. Not unlike the mist at the bottom of a waterfall. By cleaning the toilet seat and just sitting down, a stall gets nasty slower.
It's fine if the stall is horrible already, but if it's clean, it's better if we keep it that way.
Everybody seems to think they are going to get butt rabies if their butt touches the toilet seat nowadays. I swear it's propaganda from big Toilet Seat Cover industry
Given the massive amount of things some women carry in their purses, and the plethora of choices in sanitizing wipes, I don’t understand why this isn’t solved already. If you’re afraid of butt rabies or see something suspicious on the seat, a quick wipe and you’re done. I understand most of us don’t want to carry more stuff but I’ll bet there’s a big overlap between people who already do and people who are afraid of butt rabies
Michael Scott’s Dunder Mifflin Scranton Meredith Palmer Memorial Celebrity Rabies Awareness Pro Am Fun Run Race for the Cure was not in vain!
Sorry, editing my comment because I can’t read apparently. Yes urine can splash out, but that doesn’t stop women from bringing their young sons into the bathroom to pee with them. Just clean up after yourself or before if there is an issue. I would hazard a guess that adult trans women would be more likely to clean up a droplet than a young child. Maybe we just use toilet seat covers if we want a barrier?
Also the worst offender is usually the toilet itself for splash back when flushing, in my years of urination experience.
I don't get what you are trying to imply. I am aware that sitting down isn't the only option to keep it cleaner for longer.
I know toilets can splash water on the seet. Large droplets aren't the concern here. It's the small particles that get out and stick to the seat, walls and floor. You can't see it, but it does stink up the place.
As for kids, I sure af hope the women clean up after them too. My original commenr was not about whose the worst offender, it's about being mindful and keeping the stalls clean.
Idk what you’re on about really. My point was why would standing to urinate preclude someone’s ability to use a certain bathroom. Like I have worked a lot of retail in my past, having to clean bathrooms and such, and I don’t remember having to wash walls in the men’s bathroom any more frequently than the women’s because of piss particles. That seems like a made up concern, tbh.
