I don’t care about using disposable toilet seat covers in public restrooms.
But my friend Natalia does.
At coffee last week at the Unicorn Café, she remarked that this would be a good topic to write about on the blog, provided I could find someone who didn’t care about using those disposable toilet seat covers made of paper in public restrooms.
I didn’t have to look far. Because, well, I don’t care.
This might sound absolutely repulsive to most people, and it might not make a lot of sense considering that just a few posts ago, I talked about how I do care, quite a bit, about washing my hands.
But I think it’s a convenience thing. Those paper toilet seat covers are just so flimsy and unwieldy, and I can never get them positioned perfectly on the toilet seat even though they’re designed to do so.
Frankly these covers just prevent me from doing my business in an expedient fashion. And at the risk of getting too graphic, why not just quickly wipe down the area, or hover while you’re making use of the public toilets? It’s really that simple.
And really, do they do that much to protect you? I mean, they’re made of paper. Last I checked, paper ain’t waterproof.
Where do you fall on this issue? Toilet seat covers or no? Are you too grossed out to comment?
dude, what? you don’t even put toilet paper down? PUKE.
I seriously think you should use the toilet seat cover if you’re going to pee sitting on the toilet seat. I guess you can skip it if you hover.
lack of expediency is right. Arranging toilet seat covers, toilet paper etc is why girls take SO long in bathrooms!
I ALWAYS use toilet seat covers. Always!
Me too. I always use toilet seat covers.
thanks
Jenn – I am with you. I never use them. If there is pee left behind from the person who decided to save herself some germs on her tush by hovering and therefore missing the bowl, I tend to wipe it down with toilet paper.
I really don’t care if I get some germs on my butt. There are germs everywhere – I would care more about getting germs on my hands than on my tushie, but I’m not going to walk around with a tissue on my hand for fear I touch something that someone else touches.
