On that I agree with you. I mentioned this to a guy I caught not lifting the seat and he said he wasn't going to touch a dirty toilet seat. Neither would I but I do use my foot to lift the seat. Been to a rest area restroom in which the toilet seats were spring loaded. They were always at attention. You had to push the seat down and hold it down as you sit. that helped to ensure a clean dry seat.

You're supposed to change the oil cartridges in those waterless urinals at least once a year. We had several at one of the places that I worked and the guys said they only started to smell when they were overdue for a cartridge change.

Since I'm one of those crazy people who don't think we should be using water for waste disposal at all, what I'm waiting for is a female-friendly waterless urinal. I'm pretty good at peeing nearly standing up (for a girl), but can't quite maneuver just right to use a urinal unless I get awfully creative or levitate :P We have a sawdust toilet at our place and it works/smells better not to pee in the poo bucket... it's easy for hubby to go outside no matter the weather, but my pink parts either get bitten to death by mosquitos or frostbitten Looks like I'm going to have to make a female friendly urinal for our cabin.

MA4S, just a suggestion, Google "GoGirl", a product for women. It looks easier than levitation.

Yup, I have a similar product for peeing outdoors in the winter hunting when it's too cold to drop trousers! Nifty little invention.
