Ladies who spray

[frostypaw]

After the joys of the Nitrous Makes You Look Fat revelation here comes the facts about who it is peeing and shitting on the seats

http://www.salon.com/2000/05/19/tinkle/

But all is not good with the world. In maybe a third of the stalls in women’s rest rooms these days (according to my desultory research), the toilet seat is liberally puddled with piss. Somewhere along the line, germ-phobic women began crouching above the toilet seat rather than sitting on a paper seat cover. Women have begun peeing like men, but they lack the courtesy to put up the seat. And since women cannot aim like men — they have nothing to aim with — a good many of them end up hosing urine on the seat. Very few, it would seem, bother to wipe it up.

....

Simply sitting down on bacteria can’t hurt anyone, except possibly the bacteria. Nor is there much bacteria on a toilet seat to sit on. According to Gerba, toilet seats suffer an undeserved reputation for filth. In 1998, he and two colleagues took swabs from 14 sites in household bathrooms and kitchens, and cultured them to check for E. coli and other fecal bacteria. “The toilet seat was one of the cleanest spots in the house,” he reports.

Oh,this isn't a tanning thread then.

[Posh Twat]

I prefer ladies who squirt!

[frostypaw]

That conjures a whole range of bad images

[Mini_web]

Try using a shepee after a few pints...

Hovering is apparently bad for your pelvic floor... That should be on the back of the loo doors!

[rischbrit]

Didn't someone say that they saw someone with an inflatable swimming ring going into the loos this year???!!!!!

[Big Vern]

Yes, that was me, for my chalfonts

[matthewsdad1968]

My wife used the stand up in the long drops and pee into a pint pot route. Worked for her. Just poured the pee through the hole and put the glass in the bin.

[Mini_web]

I found the cardboard got too soggy... Maybe I should use the loo more often!

[Chimps in Balaclavas]

I witnessed a girl go into the long drops, her legs disappeared then piss started spraying everywhere, trickling down the long drop and forming a puddle on the floor.

I thought us lads were bad.

[Morse Code]

Oh, not the 'special interest' discussion I was expecting....

[frostypaw]

I thought us lads were bad.

the problem is, it only takes one hoverer with terrible aim to mean that every woman who comes in after ends up doing the same and making it worse. once it's had a couple of spray hovers, it takes a lot of loo roll to sort the seat out again.

edit: protip for hoverers - hang onto the bottom of the door with one hand. this allows you the leverage to get right over the drop without coming into contact with the sodden seat.

It happened a few years ago, but the change has definitely happened:

girls are now far more repulsive with their toilet habits than men.

Shitting in the open, pissing and shitting all over the toilet (seat, walls, door)

So this is what emily davison died for...............

[daclown28]

If its bad I adopt the absail technique, it does require a hook on the door though, a carabeena and an old belt, just hook it over hold on and lean back, you can then hover an inch above the seat... Any body think they can hold there weight properly otherwise must have incredible core strength I mean try sitting on an invisible chair with your arse over a foot behind your feet

[parsonjack]

Interesting tip - I try to hold the top of the door myself!

[mrtourette]

Why don't you just wipe the seat clean? That's what I do if I need a shit and the bloke in before me has pissed everywhere.

[frostypaw]

I found swearing and pulling scary faces at the numpty that didn't check under the door first worked wonders

But seriously if it's already been sprayed that's a reason to clean it not hover more! Poor excuse for avoiding a quick wipe. Mummy can't come make it nice herself

Don't you all carry some bog roll just in case?

[Zoo Music Girl]

Sometimes your bog roll supply is running a bit low though! And in the dark you cat alway see what's there. But like I said, I try to wipe and sit most of the time. If everyone sat it wouldn't be a problem though, you're right.

Can't believe I'm discussing this on the internet.

[Ponyegg]

I think the whole hovering thing is probably why some of the longdrop seats broke this year.

If you're sitting on the seat then the weight distribution is more evenly spread (especially if you've seen the size of my arse... but I digress).

If you're squatting/standing over the hole then all that weight is going to be focused on two smaller spots on the seat and the opportunity for seat failure is going to be greater.

If you can't aim then pissing over the seat is simply not on... take a seat cover and dispose of that afterwards

On a related note, I can confirm that the sewage works at Beckton yesterday smelt exactly like the longdrops in Hitchin Hill....

[russycarps]

those longdrops arent very sturdy either are they. I wouldnt dare standing on them for fear of plunging into the horror below.

I am staggered to hear men also hover like that when having a poo

[rischbrit]

Or just take some paper seat covers to put on the seat.

[Ted Dansons Wig]

If the long drops are rotted through just because folk have pissed on them theres either something wrong with the long drop or somebody's pissing something fairly fucking caustic.
