Her note wasn’t passive aggressive. This website has no idea what the term actually means. Being sarcastic and impersonal is NOT passive aggressive. Screwing up things for the people who have offended the passive aggressive personality that are seemingly unrelated is what passive aggressive is. How moronic.

No no, i was thinking more of something porcelain and over-designed. Hole in the floor… pshaw. Perhaps a fold-out trough thingie – adjustable for size and preferences of course – that one can sort of hover over, and the flush mechanism also folds it back into the wall for disinfecting/bleaching/burning. The crotch in question would never need touch the device.

In stalls though please. I want no part of viewing aforementioned random bare asses.

Yeah, I’ve seen them.
They’re horrid.

I’m thinking squat toilets, only nicer.
They’ll definitely need a new name.

Um, the entire third world has squat toilets. I think you might be a little late.

There’s a reason we keep reading material in the bathroom.

PG – you must have the most well-developed hamstrings and glutes…. I have such a crush on you now.

I’m more of the “if nothing appears out of sorts at first glance, just sit, get biz done, and don’t think about the previous bare asses” camp. If something appears out of sorts, then I’ll hold until my kidneys explode or I get home, whichever comes first. I have given myself sore kidneys and UTIs this way though, so I do not recommend it.

I will admit to knowing the “safe” public restrooms in a range of about 100 miles from my home, too.
Chick urinals totally need to become standard in public restrooms. Then hovering can take on a new and acceptable shade. I guess they’d be more troughs than urinals? Hmmm….

Ah, curse this anagram-trained brain of mine. I keep reading “Thank you for the sign stating there would be wet panties in the bathroom.”

Wet paint would be an improvement over what’s on the restroom walls in my town. You would think people around here were raised by wild animals–and not just the damn gang-bangers!

Begin the unnecessarily slow-moving dipping mechanism!

It’s not a matter of catching anything, really. It’s just a matter of my not wanting to put my bare ass where 1,000′s of other people put their bare ass.
I mean, I wouldn’t walk up to complete strangers and rub bare-ass to their bare-ass.
blech.

So, I either hover (very carefully, and I do wipe, just in case to make sure I don’t leave a mess for the next person) or I wipe it and put down, as WotV said, about 57 layers of TP.

But if the bathroom is extremely nasty and I just can’t hold it, I will hover, because it’s not just the seat that has yuckiness on it.
I don’t care if pee is sterile. It’s stinky and I don’t want it on me.
