irony = those who hover

It occurs to me that those women who hover over the seat are generally the cause of the very disgustingness they are trying to avoid in the first place.

Sit down, y'all.

Get out of my head - I JUST came back from the restroom and was thinking that same exact thing.

The only time I hover is if I'm at an outside toilet (port-a-potty, campground etc) and it's cold out.  I don't want my @ss to freeze to the seat.

You won't catch anything from sitting.  I promise(ish)

This is true. The real fomites are the flush handle, the door knobs, and the sink.

I just .. can't... sit on public toilets.

I can't do it! 

I wipe the seat before and after though.

When I walk into bathroom I get a paper towel immediately. I go in stall. Use the paper towel as I lock stall. Pee. Flush with foot. Unlock with paper towel. Turn on faucet with paper towel. I usually get more paper towels somewhere in here. Wash hands. Dry with paper towels and use same ones to open the door to get out.

What about the bathrooms with only the blow dryer deals?

You all will just have to talk about me. I squat. I do not sit on any toilet other than my own. I have been doing this so long I cannot tell you when I started. I rarely sprinkle and if so I wipe the seat.

So even if the sit looks dry and clean to you. It may just had someone to wipe it. I cannot get that out of my mind so I cannot sit. I also flush with my foot.

That's hard core.

I usually will wipe the seat down and then sit on it. I physically cannot pee while hovering - it's too much work and concentration for me and I can't relax enough to let it flow....

I also try to avoid port-a-potties at all costs unless I feel like I will EXPLODE.

It is amazing how disgusting the bathrooms here can get... it's at a University and I wonder if some of these students (or staff) need to go back to potty training.

I sit directly on the seat. I love me some herpes and getting pregnant from stray seat semen.

Are you going to the men's room?

What's it to you? 

I also do the foot flush/paper towel handle thing.

Just touch it. You already sat on the seat so no worries.

Unless you have a gaping wound on your asscheek, sitting on the toilet is pretty much harmless. Just make sure you wash your hands and shower regularly.

I have issues with anxiety and OCD tendencies. I deal the best I can without meds.

I have OCD and anxiety, meds was the best choice I ever made.

I am not against them. I have tried. Couldn't find a good fit that wouldn't have me out of it.

Gotcha.  Didn't mean to mock the ill, I just thought that your rigid rules for your were exhausting.  I can see to an extent now why you parent the way you do.

Meds are a fantastic choice if you take the time to land on the right ones.  I hope this doesn't affect your kiddos.  I can't imagine having OCD and raising kids.

I only hover if it is a really nasty bathroom.
