Exactly!

I always hover. It's getting a little difficult with this bump, but I hover. I'd like to note that after all the talk about bathrooms and bathroom habits, I now think of you ladies every time I go to the bathroom.  

FlemDance

If I tried to hover with my bowel issues, my quads would be as muscular as a body builder's.

Sitter all the way!

MrsT2008

I sit right on the seat unless it looks particularly gross.

Xath

I sit, but I'll wipe the seat before hand I I see anything. I hate dim bathrooms because it sucks so much to not see anything on the seat and then sit right in someone else's pile of pee.

I'm the one SS so far! I try to avoid using public restrooms at all costs.  :-?? But if I have to, I use TP/"ass gaskets" haha.

I typically avoid as much as possible too. I absolutely refuse to poop in public unless it is prairie dogging on me.

Another hoverer here! And sprinkle when you tinkle saying has been pounded in my head since I was potty trained. On the odd occasion that I do get some on the seat I always clean it up.

Now the real questions is do you fold your TP or scrunch your TP? I find the answer to that question to be very indicative of personality types

Scrunch! More layers with less TP, according to my unscientific assessment.

Please elaborate. For me it depends on the ply. If it's single ply wadding is more effective with the same amount but if it's nice cushy tp then I fold. I'm a complicated person like that.

Hmm.. I'm a folder. What does that say?

This is me exactly. Im a sitter. Im also a public bathroom pooper, no matter where I am. I will hover if I heaven forbid, have to use a porta-potty.

I had a friend whose theory was that "Type A" personalities were folders (neat, organized, etc) and that "Type B" personalities were scrunchers (easy going, etc). Though clearly not true, I still find the "theory" to be pretty funny.

I will pee in the woods before using porta potties.

Maybe this should've been my FFFC, but I used to pee in the woods all the time. DH and I are (were, for me, since I got pregnant) pretty avid trail runners and hikers, so it you are out on the trails for any length of time, the urge will eventually arise. I even had my designated "pee stops" on certain trails where DH knew to stop and wait for me. (Mind you, these are very rural, rugged trails, not some paved bike path or something). I have no shame. It is a hella lot more comfortable jogging down a steep, rocky slope with an empty bladder!

I grew up partying in the woods. I have peed in the woods more times I can count. Also, fairs and dirt track races are notorious for gross bathrooms. That's where a 4 door vehicle and a spotter comes in handy.

Straight on the seat unless it is ALREADY dirty, then I hover.

hfooter

Hover! Always have and always will. Pubic restrooms freak me out. For the most part I try to avoid them as much as possible.

But of course, I always clean up any sprinkles!

mrstengallonhat1

You can add me to the too lazy to hover crowd.  I just sit down unless it looks iffy, and then I'll either line the seat with TP or one of those little covers.  I've tried the hovering thing, and I always end up peeing on myself.  Apparently, I have bad aim!

momo214

Depends on the bathroom. If it LOOKS clean I sit. If there's sprinkle or it just looks particularly unsanitary, I hover.

Ladiebug30

I sit on the seat ... because I had a hovering accident of epic proportion. 

julesf817

Unless it's peed on by a hoverer, I sit.

If everyone just freakin SAT there would be no splatters and the seats would be so much cleaner!!

I'm not sure what most people do with their butt cheeks that makes them worried about sitting, but considering the fact that mine rarely see the light of day i'm pretty sure they are one of the cleanest parts of my body. i don't hover over the seat of the bus when i'm wearing shorts. i don't wear a short skirt and then hover over my seat at the ball game. i honestly don't see the difference when it comes to the toilet. you go IN the toilet, not on it.  

they only get dirty because of hovering!

ArmyMedic7588

Idk if its from army training (like basic and stuff like that) but I have no fear (usually) in using a public restroom. Obviously I look before I sit (yup, tookus right on the seat) and wipe whatever may be there if need be. And sometimes I am kinda grossed out by an overall appearance of a nasty bathroom... but when you have range latrines in basic in the middle of Missouri in the middle of winter with a SHIT TON of gear on and there's no stall dividers between the port potty type holes in the room... well you get over the whole public bathroom thing really quick! haha

The biggest thing I missed when I was away was peeing in private!

Shell+Bell

I always use TP or the seat cover. I do not have the thighs to hover.

awc1986

I have a lifelong distaste for public bathrooms. Even when I was a kid I would hold it for as long as I possibly could. I prefer to hang on until I get home if I can. Anyway, when I have to go then I sit. I'm an edge sitter though. I don't like to take up the whole thing. I always check for seat pee before I go and if there is any, I'm going to another stall. I'm not cleaning up someone else's piss.

bumpuser9353653

I'm a hoverer. You just never know and people can be really nasty. One thing I really hate seeing is hair on the seat. Freaks me out. And I always clean up any "sprinkles" that may happen.

Sometimes I even hover at home b/c DH is too lazy to lift the seat and doesn't pay attention to any sprinkles left behind. Boys are gross.

yvanehtnioj

Unless the restroom in question is straight outta Trainspotting or the toilet looks suspect, I just sit. I also use the large stalls when I need to do more than pee or if the other stalls are taken. No fucks given.

...Are you peeing on a car at the fair?  Behind a car?  Out the window of a car somehow (spotter to hold on to you in that case I guess)?  I can't figure out why "4 door vehicle" is part of the equation.

sisterjanet

The only reason I would ever hover is when it's the only option, by which I mean a Turkish toilet.

you open both doors on one side and squat in between. spotter/blocker in case someone walks past. that's my guess. not that I've ever done that.

That makes sense.  I was all confused, partly because "spotter" makes me think of either weight lifting or gymnastics, and neither idea really goes with peeing outdoors. 

momthatlifts

I use the ass gaskets. If you sit down slowly enough they always stay put (at least for me)

YTLCNURSE

I hover for  #1 and make a nice tp nest for #2 (if I am unable to hold it until I can make it home).

Not true. Have you ever watched one of those things flush?? It's like a water explosion!!

I didn't know this until recently when I saw this on buzzfeed, but I've been using the ass gasket backwards the whole time!!! Once I started using it the way in the picture, it never falls into the toilet. Crazy!

I never knew if I was using it right. I figured as long as it covered most of the toilet and 100% of where I was sitting then it's ok by me. And it's an added bonus if I don't have to knock it in to the toilet to flush it down. Usually once I get up it falls right in to the toilet. So convenient.

awc1986

At New Orleans airport the toilets have an automatic cover dispenser. Every time you flush, it rotates around and replaces the old cover with a new one. Genius.
