Listen, ladies, I know that going into a public restroom in this city is like playing Russian Roulette.  It might be an okay stall, or it could be the skankiest craphole on the face of the earth.  I understand.  However, I do not understand why you insist on contributing to this trend.  Some otherwise okay places to poop are made gross and unusable when you freaks do things like pee on the seats.  We're not men.  This is SO not necessary.

Here are some guidelines for using a public restroom.  Print it out, carry it around with you all of the time, share it with your friends and enemies.

1. If you can't stand to let your pristine buttocks touch the evil toilet seat of doom, then put toilet paper on it.  Three quick rips and you're covered.  Literally.

2. Don't hover.  It's dumb.

3. If you must hover, then clean up after yourself.  I will say this again: Clean Up After Yourself.  If you insist on being ultra paranoid (the germs will get me even through the paper!) then take a quick look after you're done giving yourself a cramp.  90% of the time you've marred the seat (or the floor...) with your own pee.  Clean it up.

4. I mean it.  Clean up after yourself.

5. After you've flushed, check again.  Check Again.

6. Do awy with your menstruation detritus properly.  PROPERLY.

7. Just stop being gross.

Thank you.

ha ha ha, I've heard about this from my gf all the time... it seems that female bathrooms are hell, or close to it... i will pass this thread along to her... lets hope for all the good female hygiene that all women read this and take heed... i always had the fantasy that womens bathrooms were clean...

I've been complaining about this for YEARS. Women can be SO downright nasty!!

What should be added to this list is... WASH YOUR HANDS! Yes, that simplest rule in the book isn't followed -- shamefully so -- by women. I've seen come out of the stall after doing the dirty (you can hear it, now c'mon..) and just come out and don't wash their hands. WTF?! Disgusting! Clean up after yourself! Nobody else will...

Amen! I always stare, and wonder what the hell they were doing? How could they possible miss, and aim every where else? Were they dancing while they were peeing? And, come on, it isn't that hard to flush.

I don't get the whole hovering thing... Just wipe the seat thoroughly and place paper down and you are fineeee...then flush everything!
Especially when girls are drunk and do these moves--pee gets EVERYWHERE. On the seat, the floor, just ugh....

I've been in male/female bathrooms (hey, when u gotta go u gotta go; when the female's bathroom is busy I wouldn't hesitate to go on the opposite side) but that's not the disturbing part.  The disturbing part is that the men are actually neater than the women.  Their bathroom was super clean.

I'm always baffled by the seat covering at all! I mean, if there's something obviously nasty, wipe it off! And then sit down! It's not like whatever is gross is touching any mucous membranes or anything... it's just your ass!

I also want women in the bathrooms in my office to stop sitting in the stall next to me when there are two other open stalls.  That drives me nuts.

i totally agree.  i am a hovering person in the really gross stalls but i simply lift the seat...it's the polite thing to do and really just plain logical since we make men do it since they pee standing up.  and yes i put the seat back down when i'm done- i'm not an animal.
