The nasty ones are the ones who hover. Your personal issues cause personal issues for the rest of us who prefer to sit on a dry seat. Please stop.
Please stop?
Who do you think you're talking to?
Are you in the stall with me watching what comes out of me? Are you watching where it goes?
Just because I don't sit on the seat doesn't mean I personally am making the mess you have issues with. So back off.
And just to clarify, you sitting your own personal arse on a public toilet in no way 100 percent of the time prevents bodily fluids and other waste material from getting on the seat. So let's keep it real.
There was a news article recently saying that a toilet seat in a public restroom has less germs that your desk at work. I'm sure it's true. Think about most people's cell phones. They go everywhere with them including public restrooms. :-0 How many people actually disinfect their cell phones?
While I'm a bit of a germophobe I don't use the toilet seat covers. I'm more worried about the germs on the door handle than the actual toilet seat.

What a senseless, asinine way to address my post.
I am keeping it real. I don't leave a mess on toilet seats, either at home, or in public. I loathe those who do. If it doesn't apply to you, congratulations on your aim.
I plop my precious patootie directly on the seat. If it looks wet beforehand, I take a couple squares of toilet tissue and wipe it down. I've never contracted anything serious in my 35+ years of doing this. My main concern is with door handles. After washing my hands, I use the paper towel to open the door.
There is no way in hell I'm putting my naked arse where other peoples naked arses have been. I even wash the toilet seat in my house before I sit down. I live with a little boy and a men who can't aim straight.
I make them clean the bathroom though. I know I'm not the one missing the toilet.

I agree with the paper towels.
The problem is that so many public restrooms these days are opting out of having paper towels for us to use to dry our hands, and instead only have those air dryers.
I thought I read somewhere that the air dryers only circulate germ-ridden air, and hence, are ineffective.
Things that are probably more germy than a toilet seat:
Door handles
Telephones
Remote controls
Light switches
Hand rails
Not to mention your hands are more likely to have small cuts or sores/irritations than your bum, making them much more susceptible to picking up an infection of some kind.
Wash your hands.

Yes, I do all of this too. After washing my hands, the last thing I want to do is touch the door handle which has been touched by people who DIDN'T wash their hands.

Same for me, except I have a larger number of years of experience.
