updating is gooood...
Today's Rant: if it wasn't meant to SIT ON, it wouldn't be called a toilet SEAT. i have been appalled at the disgusting evidence of previous usage in public restrooms. there is absolutely NO reason for there to be any excretory matter on the seat at all. none.
*when i walk into a public restroom, it is to use the facilities (and usually an emergency), not to enjoy the pungent aroma of whatever has been used to clean the fixtures combined with old stale piss that has made its way into the tiled floor's mortared spaces. so you can imagine my dismay, one day this past week, when i walked into a free stall merely to find i had to CLEAN the seat before i could bring myself to consider sitting on it.
*here's the deal. i don't "hover". i refuse. it is demeaning to think my immune system can't survive the assaults of whatever may get through the handy paper cover over the white plastic ring.
*has anyone else noticed the installation of convenient little spray seat cleaner dispensers in many places? yeah, those are great. like hand sanitizer for the toilet seat. for all you germophobes out there, there's your solution.
*you wad up some TP, spray it with the cleaner, and actually WASH the seat yourself (this works with hand sanitizer and baby wipes too!). now that you know that seat is clean, toss the now-unclean wad of paper into the toilet (what an idea! not throw it on the ground?!), straighten yourself, still facing the back of the stall, and notice the nice paper seat covers neatly displayed in the box that says "pull up, then pull down" hanging on the wall behind the toilet. follow those simple instructions, place the cover on the seat, and SIT DOWN ON IT to do your business. now you can't miss the hole. (this goes for guys too! sit & tuck if you can't manage to hit the inside of the bowl from standing!) is that so difficult? once you're done, you don't even have to touch the cover to make it go down with the flush! that ingenious little center part sticks in the water and takes care of that for you!
*frankly, i think even those paper covers are overkill. as long as the seat is clean and dry, which it should remain at all times as long as everyone is behaving like adults with immune systems and SITTING on the SEAT, then technically only people with compromised immune systems should have to worry that much about it.
*we're all humans. we all have similar bodily flora. what lives on your skin on your ass and legs is actually not nearly as bad as what lives on your hands throughout a day, and most people feel free to touch their own faces with their hands! most of the worst diseases, those big scary ones all you "hoverers" out there are afraid of getting by sitting on a toilet seat, are caused by fecal/oral administration (to say it kindly). so, the best defence is NOT hovering. it is making sure your ass is clean and washing your hands after taking a crap. or in general using a public restroom. because who knows who else didn't wash their hands and then touched the stall door...

And all you people with the mindset of "Thats what they pay THEM to do." ~ FU! You wouldn't clean that up and its yours ... would you clean someone else's for minimum wage? I hope they key your car.
