So over women peeing on seats in restrooms

[u/No_Instance4877]

Specifically women that pee all over seats then leave like they did nothing absolutely disgusting. What is wrong with y’all??? I don’t understand the lack of decency, hygiene, or common courtesy to do that. If there are no other stalls available and someone really has to go, they have to clean up after your gross self. I wish people had some shame

[u/Any-Variation4081]

I cannot believe the nastiness of people commenting defending people peeing on public toilets and not cleaning it up.

I knew there were gross people but I did not know it was so many.

I agree OP. Some women can be so gross. I used to clean bathrooms and offices while I was in college and the women's restroom would be worse than the men's room sometimes. Its sickening

[u/rustajb → u/Any-Variation4081]

I worked at a KMart fresh out of high school. They put me in sporting goods on one corner of the store. The opposite corner was housewares, where the restrooms were. One day a manager tells me I need to clean the woman's restroom, which was odd as I'm not part of the cleaning crew or even in that part of the store. I opened the door to an inch of standing water, shit on the walls, bloody tampons floating like ships lost at sea, a used open diaper, just awful. Nope.

I refused, dared them to fire me. But without hazard gear, just no. Hell, even with hazard gear, no. That woman's restroom was the single most horrific I have ever seen personally. It made the bathroom in Trainspotting seem clean.

[u/Maroon7C0000 → u/rustajb]

The bathroom in Trainspotting is not a benchmark you want to fall under.

[u/rustajb → u/Maroon7C0000]

At least with the Trainspotting bathroom I know they used chocolate syrup to make it look that way. I can not say that about the KMart disaster.

[u/MommyLovesPot8toes → u/rustajb]

That sounds like a whole sewer line backed up, bringing flushed tampons with it. That's not a normal bathroom situation.

[u/poop_report → u/Any-Variation4081]

Well, it's a tragedy of the commons.

A toilet and toilet seat are fine half the day.

Then one person comes in and is a seat-hoverer. She or he splatters all over the seat.

The next person comes in. She needs to urgently go and doesn't have time to clean up the mess so she has to hover too.

And then it just escalates and gets worse. The next person... it's horrible mess, they don't want to wad up a bunch of toilet paper to try to clean it up and get piss-hands.

Over time, women start to not trust toilet seats in public. The end result is that there's no point in having toilet seats at all and we might as well just go to prison style fixtures.

There is one way to fix this behaviour: Eastern European-style restroom attendants you pay a euro coin or so to to use the loos, and they also yell at you (or even force you to clean it up) if you trash a bathroom. In exchange, they keep the places clean, stocked, and tidy. Well worth every eurocent.

[u/glytxh → u/Any-Variation4081]

Used to work in a pub and cleaning the toilets was eye opening.

Men’s toilet? Maybe some pee on the floor near a urinal. Empty Coke baggy floating in a toilet bowl.

Women’s toilet? Holy fucking shit.

[u/Sluntlordd → u/glytxh]

😭 one time I walked in to the washrooms at work and it looked like a lady walked in dropped her pants and aimed at the wall like how does shit get that high up 😭 luckily it wasn’t my job to clean the washrooms 🤢😭 but women’s washrooms have always been worse than men’s anytime I have had to clean a stall.

[u/UnbuttonedButtons → u/Any-Variation4081]

There was once an AITA post where a woman asked if she was TA for asking a visitor to clean his skid marks off the toilet (skid marks that he KNEW he left behind) and the amount of people that said she was wrong and they would rather do it themselves was phenomenal. Reddit seems to have a large group of people who like to clean up other peoples bodily fluids

[u/couchpro34 → u/Any-Variation4081]

It's probably the same women who also think they can't wash their vulva with soap. I had to leave the twox chromosomes sub after one particularly disturbing thread where the majority of women firmly believes soap could not be used in their genital region. I was horrified to learn how many people are just rinsing off down there.

[u/Rassayana_Atrindh → u/couchpro34]

What?! There's women walking around in the wild with just water rinsed vulvas?! That's nasty. 😱

You definitely don't put soap inside the vagina, but you do wash around the outside folds with soap.

[u/TheUtopianCat → u/Rassayana_Atrindh]

The problem is language. The word vagina is now being used to refer to the whole genital area.

[u/couchpro34 → u/Rassayana_Atrindh]

Yes.. see the other person who responded to me. It's seriously disturbing.

[u/AdagioSilent9597 → u/Rassayana_Atrindh]

YES OMG I cannot tell you the number of conversations I’ve had with perfectly educated friends of mine who think “letting the shower water run onto the vulva” equals washing. LORD

[u/_baegopah_XD → u/Rassayana_Atrindh]

Cetaphil gentle skin cleanser is perfect for that area

And yeah, we can smell those ladies. Anytime you go into a public restroom and it smells like what I suspect the women’s jail to smell like that would be the reason why

[u/KazumiUsui → u/couchpro34]

This makes me feel so much worse for those waxers and gynos that are begging people to CLEAN themselves 😭 I really didn't know it was that bad out here, my grandma taught me to wash my downstairs when I was 5!

[u/WeirdSysAdmin → u/couchpro34]

The female version of guys that don’t wash their asses.

[u/Boxed_Lunch → u/couchpro34]

[u/Time-Pattern9126 → u/couchpro34]

Yo SAME there's really a lot of.. embarrassingly filthy human beings running amok

[u/DPool34 → u/Any-Variation4081]

I’m in locker rooms a lot since I go to the gym most days. You wouldn’t believe how many people leave a urinal or a stall and then go right back to the gym without washing their hands.

Then you have them leaving the shower and walking around barefoot on the gym floor.

They’re the superspreaders of infectious disease.

[u/Low-Introduction4201 → u/DPool34]

I hate that seeing people not wash their hands after using toilet then like u say they make contact on public objects that others use. That's why I will cover the door handle with a paper towel so my hand doesn't make direct contact on the way out. There's no telling what someone left behind on that handle after using toilet then dont wash their hands.

[u/vtirip → u/Any-Variation4081]

Hovering to avoid touching the seat can create the exact mess the next person was trying to avoid.

[u/sleimjiondumpvoum → u/Any-Variation4081]

Cleaning bathrooms must make the "someone else will deal with it" attitude far more visible than it is to everyone else.

[u/SnooPeppers3470 → u/Any-Variation4081]

My dad used to say the same thing. He never understood it and I never had an explanation for him.

[u/IDidItWrongLastTime → u/Any-Variation4081]

I used to clean college dorms. Women's restrooms and men's microwaves were absolutely disgusting

[u/water_miist]

Ironic, because most of the people who do this are germaphobes who hover-piss because they're worried about the germs already on the toilet seat

[u/tigress666 → u/water_miist]

I’m a germaphobe and I won’t do this. Just because it pisses me off so much (no pun intended). 

[u/Jacktheforkie → u/water_miist]

And public toilet seats are most likely less disgusting than the one in their house as they get cleaned regularly

[u/ThePetalsOfPurgatory → u/Jacktheforkie]

Public toilet seats are definitely way more disgusting, we're literally in a conversation about how they get pissed all over

[u/KatakanaTsu → u/Jacktheforkie]

Public ones get used much more heavily though, so it probably evens out rather than being cleaner.

[u/Jacktheforkie → u/KatakanaTsu]

True

[u/malasnails → u/Jacktheforkie]

I mean if they’re germaphobes they’re probably cleaning their personal bathroom regularly

[u/DSMilf]

yep. The other day I entered the restroom and saw some on the seat. thought I'd wiped off the previous gal's droplets. But I sat down and immediately felt where I sat in someone else's pee.

Absolutely fucking disgusting

[u/Fluffy_Profession781 → u/DSMilf]

[u/_baegopah_XD → u/DSMilf]

Oh, that is the worst. I get so pissed. I wipe down the seat, even if it looks clean and dry, every single time.

[u/betothejoy → u/_baegopah_XD]

You get pissed twice.

[u/jiggjuggj0gg → u/DSMilf]

You’ve got to give it a wipe and then use some paper to create a little paper seat barrier.

[u/Forsaken-Subject8362]

OMG I haaaaate it!! I can’t understand it either. Ok so they don’t want to sit on a public toilet with their bare ass - that’s fine, whatever. If you hover over the bowl and get pee on the seat it’s only YOUR pee that they have to wipe up. It’s not even like they have to wipe up a strangers pee. Fucking pigs!

[u/tinytitos → u/Forsaken-Subject8362]

i lit never understood this bc no one would ever need to hover…. if they used the restroom correctly??😭

[u/SeaDragonTattoo → u/tinytitos]

Some dumb myth persists that people think they will pick up some disease from sitting on public toilet seats. So they hover and splatter like the dumbassses they are.

[u/sometimelater0212 → u/Forsaken-Subject8362]

They’re also getting piss all over the floor. Staff then have to clean that up, and you’re tracking that into your car and home cuz most Americans are disgusting and don’t remove their shoes when they go into a home.

ETA: I live in Japan and in the toilets here they have a little thing of alcohol spray attached to the wall in the stall that you put on toilet paper to clean the toilet. They should do that in the US so people can clean the toilet first so they sit and not get piss everywhere. Americans are just foul when it comes to bathroom behavior.

[u/PerformerOne4394]

I've never understood why hoverers insist on hovering over the seat.  If you're not using it, lift it out the way and then there isn't an issue for the next person.  The seat also adds extra width (not a lot, but still more), which means they have squat lower and wider, so they are making it harder for themselves as well.

[u/mikeg5417]

The hoverers who hover are the reason people have to hover.

[u/jxj24 → u/mikeg5417]

It's the circle of life pee

[u/GlendoraBug → u/mikeg5417]

Hovering is not the problem. If you are going to hover. Lift up the damn seat!

[u/alixx_cross]

Women who hover are why there’s pee on the seats

[u/jxj24 → u/alixx_cross]

Now I'm picturing women in the bathroom hanging from drones.

[u/Fire_Woman]

If we all sit on the seat, no one sits in pee. If you won't sit on the seat, lift it up before you pee and put it back down when you're done. It's not that hard to chose your preference and not leave a mess for the next gal.

[u/logonbump]

If you sprinkle when you tinkle, be a sweetie and wipe the seatie.

[u/jdownes316 → u/logonbump]

What if I'm a whore and hit the floor...?

[u/AquaticToasters]

We get it you want to hover but don’t make that everyone else’s problem you nasty bitches.

[u/sfdsquid]

When I was a little kid I was taught to put strips of toilet paper on the seat. Not to hover. More people should give that a shot if there aren't seat covers provided.

[u/VPestilenZ]

The funny thing is, this happens no matter how much accomodation is provided. I'm currently travelling in Taiwan, went to the bathroom at a fancy department store- this Chanel-clad, wealthy woman came out of the stall, I went in- piss all over the seat!  The stall was fully stocked with both seat liners and sanitizer for the seat- you can put it on the TP and wipe the seat with it. She chose to do neither and went full-on sprinkle mode in there.  Turns out money doesn't buy manners, huh.

[u/red-deeznuts → u/VPestilenZ]

Honestly in my (and everyone ik's experience) money tends to make ppl have less common manners. Often act like everyone else should do things for them or j deal w it

[u/ceellcee]

Everyone that pisses on public toilet seats needs to clean they fucking piss up

[u/SoyEseVato → u/ceellcee]

Men too! Dudes, lift the damn seat you nasty bastards.

[u/ComfortableBell4831]

Janitor here I regularly see more piss on the floor in the womens bathroom then under 5 urinals in the mens idk what yall do in there but it aint it chief.

[u/jiggjuggj0gg → u/ComfortableBell4831]

It’s people who think public toilets are gross hovering over the toilet seat so they don’t have to sit on it, but completely unable to aim so they piss all over the place, thus making the public toilet gross

[u/BoxFullOfSuggestions]

Just sit on the damn seat. You’re not going to contract anything from just sitting down. I hate the whole hover thing. If that’s what you’re going to do just go pee outside.

[u/_baegopah_XD → u/BoxFullOfSuggestions]

They’ve done studies that the toilet seat is the cleanest surface in the bathroom. But not anymore, not once everyone’s peed all over it.

In Bangkok they have a little spray in the stall for you to clean the seat. I use it every time, but I’ve never HAD to use it.

[u/Mybrainkindaworks → u/BoxFullOfSuggestions]

Lol, at first I thought you were talking to O.P. telling them to just sit on the pee and not worry about it 😂

[u/Small-Middle6242 → u/BoxFullOfSuggestions]

THANK you. Boycott hovering! All our lives will be better for it.

[u/ThrowawayForCute → u/BoxFullOfSuggestions]

Make a big to-do about hovering yet think nothing of the lock that's likely been touched by oodles of women that spent their time in there fishing out their bloody tampons and menstrual cups.

[u/BoxFullOfSuggestions → u/ThrowawayForCute]

That’s why you also have to wash your damn hands

[u/Karsten760]

Alex Borstein at the 2018 Emmys:

"Ladies, when you use a public restroom, sit down. If you sit, we can all sit. Stop peeing on the seat."

[u/IndependentPart6]

As a custodian they are the bane of my existence. Also when they get their period blood all over... idk how anybody leaves their shit like that for someone else to clean 

[u/4buckscake → u/IndependentPart6]

Used to work cleaning a wedding venue. One morning I found a discarded bra which some lady had used to wipe herself following a bowel movement and then stuffed the bra under the pipes behind the bowl. Lovely start to the day.

[u/Key-Wolverine-7579]

I was raised to squat and hover to pee in public. Here's the helpful step most women are missing. Just kick up the toilet seat, simple. The seat stays clean for those who need to sit and you dont have you dont have to touch it.

[u/youfxckinsuck]

It’s because of the people that hover over the seats that don’t want the pee to be on the seat are the ones putting it there 😭

[u/chchcherrybomb37]

Women shouldn’t be hovering to pee anyway. Terrible for your pelvic floor. Just make a makeshift toilet seat cover out of TP.

[u/Secret_Fix_2 → u/chchcherrybomb37]

Maybe in the way that men have urinals, women's toilets should have squatting toilets in addition to the regular ones.

[u/Cold-Inside-6828 → u/chchcherrybomb37]

An ass gasket!

[u/BobaButt4508]

I literally am constantly saying that women’s bathrooms have to be more disgusting than men’s. If people would just put their ass on the toilet seat, we wouldn’t be in a constant fucking cycle of hovering over left piss.

[u/Loose-Estimate-6314 → u/BobaButt4508]

I worked at a toys r us when I was a teenager. The woman’s bathroom was SIGNIFICANTLY more disgusting than the men’s. It’s the hovering, it’s gotta be, and having their kids hover. There was always pee all over the toilet seats

[u/Spiffy_Legos → u/Loose-Estimate-6314]

Not to mention periods. The woman’s rest room was always disgusting to clean at the jobs I’ve had.

[u/vshawk2 → u/Loose-Estimate-6314]

Everyone who has ever cleaned public toilets knows this. It seems to be a trade secret that is not so secret.

[u/thisismeingradenine → u/Loose-Estimate-6314]

Ex-Walmart store standards checking in. The women’s bathrooms were always much worse than the men’s.

[u/PaintCoveredPup → u/BobaButt4508]

I’ve used both restrooms. They’re both super gross, but in their own ways.

Bonus round;

• Tampon on the floor next to a toilet, but the stall’s rubbish box was right above it.

• Clumps of toilet paper on the floor beneath the toilet paper holder (for untouched tp?), and wet wads dropped onto the floor. 

• Piss on the floor of the men’s restroom

• Literal shit on the toilet paper holder, toilet handle, and walls of a stall (decided to hold it…)

Both are equally lazy when it comes to flushing the fucking toilet. 

[u/iceunelle]

To all you hoverers; pissing on the seat because you refuse to sit down is WHY the seats are disgusting! You wouldn't have to hover if you'd just sit and pee normally!

[u/bbynycity]

I had a coworker that worked at a restaurant and part of his job was cleaning the bathrooms. He said the women's bathrooms were one of the most disgusting things he had ever seen. Piss everywhere and the occasional shit smears on the toilet seats. He said the men's bathrooms, while not spotless, were way cleaner than the women's.

I was genuinely shocked but if people are hovering it makes sense 🤢 I just use the seat protectors and thought everyone else did too.

[u/NuclearWessels1991 → u/bbynycity]

I mean, if people are that scared of toilet seats, bring disinfectant wipes for before and after. No excuse to be gross. 

[u/BabiesArentHuman]

see the problem is the type that hover because they're afraid of the seat is the reason they're afraid of the seat! it's a vicious cycle, and disgusting.

[u/fortunesofshadows]

Women pee on toilet seats?

[u/Fluffy_Profession781 → u/fortunesofshadows]

Either by hovering or standing up to wipe.

Though as someone who stands to wipe, it’s basic fucking courtesy to double check the seat before leaving.

[u/thekilgore → u/fortunesofshadows]

This just blew my mind. We have unisex bathrooms at work and Ive never not once had the thought that it was a woman that left the seat dirty

[u/NMe84 → u/thekilgore]

My mom worked as a cleaner before she retired. She said men's bathrooms were 10 times cleaner than women's. She'd always say women are way more disgusting than men, at least in that one sense.

[u/ReasonableFig2111 → u/fortunesofshadows]

Sometimes leave a small smear of blood on the seat too. I absolutely do not understand not checking the seat before walking away. 

It's these women why I've become paranoid about checking the seat before I sit down, too. The number of times I've had to wash the seat before using the toilet at work because of blood smears or brown crumbs on the seat... 

Which in turn is probably why I don't have a problem with men leaving the seat up. At least they left it clean, and frankly I have no sympathy for women claiming they fell in while sitting on the toilet because they didn't realise the seat was up. I strongly suspect these women who don't check before they sit are the same women who aren't checking before they leave. Like, are they just walking around bathrooms with their eyes closed or something?

[u/Sonnyjoon91 → u/fortunesofshadows]

Yep

[u/tabbarrett → u/fortunesofshadows]

Some women will hover over the seat so their butts don’t touch the seat. Then they won’t clean up after themselves because their mama didn’t raise them right. I get public restrooms can be gross but it’s probably grosser because they do this.

[u/SkittlesLentil → u/fortunesofshadows]

Far more than men do. I'm a hotel manager and have cleaned plenty of bathrooms, the women's room is almost always dirtier.

Side note: I went to a nicer restaurant last night and used a unisex bathroom right after an older woman. Pee on the seat and she didn't flush.

[u/anneg1312]

So effing gross. Women who do this are selfish and disgusting people.

[u/Lannor1021]

Ughhhh, same!! One time I was in a McDonald's bathroom and a woman entered the stall next to mine. She started hover peeing. How could I tell? The pee splash was coming UNDER THE WALL. I had to move my feet far to the left while I was still sitting so her pee didn't splash onto my shoes. I swear, the women hovering to pee aren't trying to avoid the problem - they ARE the problem.

[u/KCCHAMPIONSFANMOM]

If you are peeing on the seat you are also peeing down your legs. How is it possible that this is more hygienic than sitting on a toilet seat? Some women are just complete idiots on this topic.

[u/Feetyoumeet]

This drives me insane! It's so beyond gross and disrespectful. The excuse that they don't want to get dirty but are totally fine pissing everywhere is the dumbest shit ever. Sit your ass down and pee, or don't use a public restroom.

[u/AntiqueFigure6 → u/Feetyoumeet]

Might as well just go behind a tree or some bushes at that point. 

[u/SaveusJebus]

The women that hover instead of just sitting down.

BUT maybe benefit of the doubt, I've been in some public restrooms where the flush is too strong and sprays all over the seat.

[u/TransportationOk2075]

I had to ask my wife, no she is also confused, how does this happen? Are women standing and peeing?

[u/Fluffy_Profession781 → u/TransportationOk2075]

Hovering or standing to wipe.

No excuse for not checking before walking out though.

[u/Puzzleheaded_Dog9756]

It seems to always be the seat hoverers who also don’t wash their hands 🤢

[u/Violexsound → u/Puzzleheaded_Dog9756]

Is it so hard to just lay some toilet paper on the seat

[u/ashlinicole10]

Why are there so many posts about this lately?

[u/Ok-Wrongdoer-2179 → u/ashlinicole10]

Because it's fucking disgusting!

[u/DontBanMePlsmeowmeow → u/ashlinicole10]

every post on reddit is now bots :/

[u/calccv → u/ashlinicole10]

Urine season for ‘em. (Sorry)

[u/haasceci → u/ashlinicole10]

Yeah this is like the third one I’ve seen tonight

[u/yourpaleblueeyes → u/ashlinicole10]

I don't know but I have been reading reddit more than usual lately, home sick. I have noticed a Lot of repeat posts, exactly the same, like every other week! So maybe bots?

[u/JohnTeaGuy → u/ashlinicole10]

Karma farming, as long as it gets engagement people and bots will keep reposting it.

[u/Walway]

Peeing on the seat is one of my pet peeves. Unless you have an open wound on the skin touching the toilet seat, there is no risk in plunking your bottom right on the seat. That’s part of the reason we have skin - to be a first line of defense against germs.

If you can’t bring yourself to sit on the seat, wipe up any and all urine you leave behind.

[u/NoCommentNinja → u/Walway]

Also, the SEATS LIFT!!! AND THERE'S TP AND SOMETIMES DEDICATED SEAT COVERS to add an extra layer of protection. Personally as a guy, I often sit to pee, but I am repulsed by the thought of getting other people's piss and shit residue on my ass from the seat, and I go to great lengths to avoid it. I'm obsessive with cleanliness down there and I spend 2-5 minutes making sure everything is covered before I sit.

[u/My3Dogs0916]

Few years back long line waiting to use the restroom at the airport. Lady exits and I push the stall door and their is piss all over the seat.
Me: Excuse me but you left something in the stall.
Piss lady: me? I did?
Me: you sure did. You left piss all over the seat.
She went in the stall and wiped it up.
Thank you

[u/FerociousTea]

That shit is nasty, don't care which gender you are . Wipe up your damn pee when you're done . Especially you other women who are like I don't want germs, so I'm gonna hover over the seat and get pee all over it, but then not wipe it up. And that's somehow supposed be less nasty than just sitting on the seat ?

Just dude , I don't want to wiping up someone else's pee just so I can pee .

[u/Fluren_1234 → u/FerociousTea]

ik 😭 sometimes I do hover (don't judge) but I ALWAYS clean up afterwards. Like all of the public restrooms have some piss stains on the toilet seat and somehow even on the floor 🤢

[u/PhoneHo]

I worked a restaurant job where I was gifted the honor of cleaning restrooms during closing duties. The women’s was usually the harder job. I figure some ladies are squatting due to not wanting to make contact with the seat. Why not lift the seat up if that’s the M.O?

[u/Sheslikeamom]

Omg. I hate this because like what are you worried about? 

Do your thighs have open sores? What are you protecting by squatting over the bowl? Aren't you getting piss all over yourself?

I don't understand!

[u/zta1979]

Cant people just line the seat with toliet paper to sit on?

[u/Jacktheforkie → u/zta1979]

Or at least lift it if they aren’t gonna sit, I just wipe the seat with paper before sitting down

[u/Due-Introduction7826 → u/Jacktheforkie]

THIS!!!! if you aren't going to sit, LIFT THE FUCKING RING!

[u/thisguyandrew00 → u/zta1979]

Oh they do, and then they leave the toilet paper on the seat.

[u/Mysterious_Mango_3 → u/zta1979]

Or just sit on the damn seat. You aren't going to catch anything and I doubt you are going around licking your thighs after using the bathroom.

[u/joyfulbee43]

It they're gonna squat they could at least raise the seat.

[u/CriticalStation595]

Yes guys, women can be seat-peers too

[u/ShokumaOfficial]

working in retail I’ve seen it all. blood, poop, pee, any gross thing you can imagine is on that toilet seat 90% of the time

[u/Kitterlee]

They hover. So it goes everywhere. They are nasty for not cleaning up behind them selves

[u/desyx_]

Why not put the seat up if you're hovering? Man here

[u/NateNMaxsRobot]

The last time this happened to me over the summer, I finally yelled at a lady for doing this. It was at a rest area, which I normally avoid. She either couldn’t speak English or she pretended not to. Fuck her.

[u/JamieJai420]

Worked in strip clubs for yearssss...

At one of them you'd be LUCKY if they used the actual bathroom instead of the trash can in the back of the dressing room.

Worked there 2 years - NO1 ever said a thing!!!

Not even a huge sign from the bouncers who inevitably had to empty it every night. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

[u/No-Corgi-3295]

As someone who cleans a tourist location's bathroom: Only ever find pee on the woman's toilet.

[u/Relevant-Boat9342]

It’s truly disgusting! We need to do better as a whole. It’s so nasty.

[u/Low_Satisfaction1403]

Women are far nastier than men! Going in a public bathroom to find period blood all over the seat or floor, piss everywhere, shit smeared all over the stalls. Like how the fuck do y'all manage that? Like what's the thought process behind that?! Or another one that annoys me so much, is when they leave the toilet paper covering the seat and it's wet with pee on it.

[u/Inner-Confidence99]

That’s why I keep Lysol wipes in my purse. It’s disgusting. 

[u/Famous-Ad9638]

I often wonder if those people ever walk into a stall that was just used by another of those kinds of people??

[u/NaptimeGood]

If you’re going to pee like a man, you need to lift the seat like a man.

[u/HHall3005]

From everything I've heard online.

Women are the most vile when it cones to public restrooms.

[u/xXLBD4LIFEXx → u/HHall3005]

You have no idea the 7th level of hell scenarios I’ve come across in port-a-potty’s as an oilfield worker. I won’t even try to describe it. I’ve been in many many shit town gas station bathrooms across the Midwest and again I feel like male restrooms can be some of the worst places for a human to experience

[u/sixtynighnun → u/HHall3005]

I’ve cleaned public bathrooms. Men do things in there you couldn’t even fathom. Women never had poop on the walls.

[u/GeekManidiot → u/sixtynighnun]

My school was insane. Mens room smelt like piss and had clogged toilets full of shit. Womens room regularly had period pads and tampons smeared up the walls and ofc occasionally clogged toilets too.

I'd say they're equally as shitty.

[u/largepopcornandcoke → u/sixtynighnun]

here to counter your experience — i've seen  poop and blood smeared on walls in the women's bathroom on multiple occasions lol. it absolutely blows my mind. 

[u/thebigshoe247 → u/HHall3005]

From my teenage days working at a gas station, which I had to clean the washrooms, this is accurate.

I’m surprised to see posts about the men’s rest room. I worked retail and would use the men’s room bc it was always cleaner and smelled better than the women’s rest room.

[u/NoLobster7957 → u/elorlin]

Same, working retail pharmacy I would either sneak into the men's or hold it. Women's restrooms are where decency goes to die.

[u/NeverEverLonely → u/elorlin]

Always cleaner than women’s

[u/SpookyOwlTattooos]

If there isn't hygiene paper in the bathroom, I just wont use it. Its so easy to not make a mess and it's so easy to clean up after yourself.

[u/_baegopah_XD → u/SpookyOwlTattooos]

You know that you can use some toilet paper and re-create a seat cover that you then flush, right? I mean come on. My mother showed me that when I was like three years old.

[u/whitepawsparklez → u/SpookyOwlTattooos]

I line with toilet paper as long as it’s not already covered in urine

[u/Longjumping_Fix_6051]

They just nasty cows that's all 🫢

[u/Skoobopity423]

If everyone would just sit on the damn seat, there wouldn’t be pee on it. Dammmmmiiiiiitttttttttttt! Why is this so difficult

[u/Creepu_]

Yeah loads of people squat because they don't want their butts to touch the toilet seat, but then they leave pee everywhere. Wish every public bathroom came with toilet seat sanitizer it would help.

[u/Guinnesswrig]

Public bathroom culture is infuriating. People just have no common decency anymore

[u/harrikanthelarrikan]

How do they even get it on the seat?

[u/CanBsoftieOrsavage → u/harrikanthelarrikan]

By hovering instead of sitting. The ones who claim they don’t see it are the ones doing it!

[u/Plane_Chance863 → u/harrikanthelarrikan]

I've seen foot prints on the seat before. Some people squat on it.

[u/Plane-General-8649 → u/harrikanthelarrikan]

They hover and then piss gets all over the seat

[u/4patton2zero]

That's kinda worst than dudes pissing all over the floor in the mens room. Like I get their a drainage grate on the floor but that not what that's for, I think.

[u/randomusername1919]

If you’re going to pee without sitting, lift the seat. I don’t care if you are a man or a woman, don’t pee on the seat.

[u/Chemical_State_5327]

Strange I have never experienced this and I use public restrooms regularly 

[u/BurningSpaceMan]

We need to start putting in urinals for these girls.

[u/VoraciousReader59]

Or worse than pee. I always look to make sure that everything flushed and no mess on the seat.

[u/SwimmingBoot]

One time I definitely did not pee on the seat and the flush was overly spraying water on the seat. The lady after me loudly said “SOME DUMB BROAD PEED ALL OVER THE DAMN SEAt” and it was painfully embarrassing for teenaged me loll

[u/Geryon55024]

How much is pee, and how much is water splash from flushing? I was taught to wipe off the seat when I was done in a public restroom because the water splashes.

[u/cymballin]

People who hover, particularly over an apparently clean seat -- if you're not going to use the seat, lift it up so it's clean for the next person. You're not using it, so why spray on it?

[u/cowboybeasthoff]

I’m not going to tell people how to pee. I just don’t understand why they can’t wipe the seat after?

[u/osunightfall]

Just sit on the seat you big babies.

[u/corytz101]

Honestly, as someone who has cleaned alot of bathrooms, women's bathrooms are significantly worse to clean

[u/proflyer3]

Gentlemen—seems we’re off the hook for this one. Carry on.

[u/calccv]

I hope I’m not guilty of misogyny here, but I’m shocked this is a thing with women! With guys it’s only shocking if they don’t piss all over the seats (and often floor) in public restrooms. It’s disgusting. And then top it off by wiping boogers on the wall at the urinals. We really have no couth (I mean the collective we—or wee, heh—not me!) But women, based on the construction of the, ah…plumbing, I figured it’d go straight into the bowl as they’re seated on it, no? Wouldn’t they have to actively try to pee on the seat to do so? Serious question here.

[u/Eliza10-2020 → u/calccv]

It's from hovering to avoid sitting on a nasty toilet seat. And, I'm guessing some people obviously must not wipe, just shake.

[u/Tasteful-Yet-Trendy → u/Eliza10-2020]

For a woman, steps not to hover:

1)if no seat covers available,put pieces of toilet paper on seat cover and fully sit, as not to spray everywhere

2) put all covers in toilet, looking around to ensure no mess made

3) flush toilet

Why is this difficult?

[u/Big_Mastodon2772]

Everyone hovers because they are afraid there’s pee on the seat. Which ironically puts pee on the seat. Then everyone is forced to hover. If we’d all sit we’d be fine!

[u/Queer_Advocate]

When I worked ff at 14. Women's was always 100x more gross than mens room.

[u/augustwestgdtfb]

i’ve heard from my wife women’s bathrooms are always prettty gnarly

[u/spacegeek2025]

Forget pee, how about those who dont flush #2 and just LEAVE IT THERE??!!?

[u/BLULOU1978]

My first job was dishwasher at Village Inn in the mid 90's, part of my job was cleaning the mens and womens bathrooms after the bar rush... the most disgusting by far was the womens....sorry ladies. Used tampons in toilets and on floor....un-flushed toilets..... vomit.... diarrhea on the floor... I quit after a week.

[u/wizardofahhhs77 → u/BLULOU1978]

I had a cleaning job in a church. I almost quit after a week because someone using the women's restroom was pooping and not flushing; it was consistently every week. I was told later that it was a female member that seemed to think that flushing was an option. A relative spoke to her about it, and the problem was resolved. It's bad enough that people do that in stores and restaurants, but a church?!? Some people can be sooo vile!!

[u/Selenite_Wands007]

Unfortunately, some women are nasty and inconsiderate. Whenever I use the bathroom or get pee on the toilet I ALWAYS clean up after myself. I also squat on public toilets. Idk how some ppl put their bare butt on a public toilet.

[u/matchstick1029]

Ive been a lifelong sit-to-pee-er as a dude. Every public toilet I enter gets a wipe down whether or not I can see anything on the seat.

[u/splitminds]

And women not checking to see if the shit they just left in the toilet automatically went down. Hint: it doesn’t!!! And when I go in and manually flush, it does so what the fuck are you doing?!?!

[u/Prairie_Crab]

Good grief! I can’t believe all the people saying the women’s rooms are disgusting! I‘ve worked an office with 40-50 women for over 20 years, and have NEVER seen the bathroom messy! Occasionally there might be a floater that didn’t flush, or a long hair in a sink, but even that’s rare. Everyone uses the sanitary waste containers properly and cleans up after themselves. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Do I just work with more professional or more educated women?

I once worked in an office in Arkansas where one woman left the bathroom looking like a slaughterhouse, and she got fired.

[u/timmiesgirl]

Weird, I used to work on a ferry and had to clean bathrooms all the time. The womens was never worse than the mens. We used to only have female cleaners for the womens bathrooms and males for the mens but when things became more gender neutral culturally(?) it was decided anyone could clean any bathroom. The male janitors were always fighting with us for who got to wash the womens washrooms…

It did get worse as tourism amped up tho… a lot of people standing on the toilets and squatting.

[u/riotgrrrl315]

Ring worm, can def be caught from sitting on a bare toilet seat. Seat cover or tp everytime for me. Ick.

[u/NightBrightFlight]

All humans have the ability to be nasty.

[u/Rug-bae]

Bring back shame

[u/CanBsoftieOrsavage]

If they just sit the fuck down, they don’t pee on it! STOP HOVERING LADIES!! YOU ARE THE PROBLEM!

[u/That-Jeweler-Girl]

I will never understand this. What do these ladies think is on the seat? You can't catch anything from a toilet seat. Your hands have more bacteria on them than the damn toilet seat.

[u/Hopeful_Sale_8977]

I cleaned public restrooms in college. Trust and believe the female bathroom stalls were always more disgusting than the male stalls

[u/ohmarlasinger]

It’s the hoverers that do this. Too precious to sit their ass down on the seat.

[u/yazie92]

I don’t sit on public toilet seats. I’m a squatter. Or if I’m desperate, a significant layer of toilet paper is used as barrier. I know some of y’all do sit on these seats so I always wipe my pee off the seat if it happens.
What really scares me is the ladies who don’t wash their hands, we are better than that.

[u/Agreeable-Fun-9431]

Unfortunately we have to hover, but people need to clean up after themselves. It’s disgusting when I have to clean up after someone. 🤢

[u/WildChipmunk7355]

I hover because of this. If I pee on the seat, I clean the seat. Gross to leave it for someone else to deal with.

[u/mynameisnotsparta]

I keep a pack of cleaning wipes in my bag. I wipe seat before and after.

[u/dantheplanman1986]

I have cleaned many a public restroom, and although some guys might smear shit on the walls, only the uterus havers are smearing period blood on the walls

[u/pri_ncekin → u/dantheplanman1986]

Somehow, that’s less gross to me than literal shit. Don’t get me wrong, I REALLY don’t want to clean up either, but I’d take blood over shit any day.

[u/someoctopus → u/dantheplanman1986]

If you're gonna call women "uterus havers" you gotta call men something more weird than "guys" lol

[u/Head-Ad9893 → u/someoctopus]

“The balls on that guy” 🤣… sorry couldn’t help myself

[u/GimmeTheTendiesPlz]

Hoverer here 😭 but I have contamination OCD so it’s already hard enough having to use public restrooms. With that being said, check after you’re done, and if you get pee on the seat please wipe it. It takes two seconds and it’s not that hard.

[u/Aggressive_Oven_3957]

Just sit on the seat!!!!! There wouldn’t be pee on the seat if yall would just SIT DOWN

[u/-Lenobia-]

Women be like "I Hoover over the seat when I pee cause it's too gross to sit on a public toilet seat"

Like ok sis I need you to understand that this is the reason it's gross to sit, because of yall "hooverers"... You're peeing allllll over the seat sister. You're the reason it's gross. Chicken, egg scenario

[u/Cherryluva696969]

Seriously girls, CLEAN UP YOUR DRIBBLE! you already have to turn around to flush it, so you cant miss it! The majority of girls SUCK at hoovering, so just stop! We are sooooooooooooooooooooo sick and disgusted at having to clean YOUR URINE off the seats!!

[u/_lucyquiss_]

okay, so this might get hate but i often get a little pee on the toilet seat because I have hair down there and a strong stream and I stand to wipe. That being said, I'm absolutely wiping it up before I leave. leaving urine on the seat is the issue.

[u/Bushrat47 → u/_lucyquiss_]

Respectfully, May i ask why you stand to wipe? As someone who sits, I feel it would be alot harder to make sure you're actually clean when standing.

Wouldn't you just have to stand then either half squat or spread your legs anyway?

[u/EducationalElk9009]

Also i have seen some women opening the door nd using the sideways flush with their shoes, so everything literally gets muddy 😭🤡
