I’m not even sure if that an option in the men’s room?

Regardless of where you are on the seat cover debate, you should be aware that you can stop those stupid flush sensors on public toilets from going off before you’re ready.

Cover that sensor with TP after you first arrive, and it keeps it from going off. Then when you’re ready to roll, take it off and drop it in the bowl and go. You can be like an action hero walking away from a fireball as it flushes, lol

Seriously, it’s just gross getting toilet sprayed, so I’m glad this trick exists.

If I waited until I was totally done to flush I’d have to carry a personal plunger around

Nope. If the seat is dirty I’ll wipe it down. The covers are usually wax paper that sticks to you and crinkle while you sit. They are usually not suitable for flushing and should be tossed out in a bin.

I know they are hygienic, but man do I hate those things.

I’ll wipe down the seat if there’s liquid on it, or select another stall if there’s worse. Paper liners are uncomfortable, noisy, wasteful, and don’t actually do anything useful.

The door handle is where you’ll pick up germs, not the toilet seat.

If I’m going to sit down then absolutely.

Negative. If the seat is that untrustworthy, I’ll just find a different toilet.

I was in an asian grocery store with the wife, and the smell of the place set something off in me and I had to go so my wife asks one of the employees if I can use their washroom. They unlock it for me, and I’m all thankyou’s until I walk into this little room and see what’s waiting for me. There is not enough bleach in existence that would make what I saw that day usable as a toilet. I backed out, looked at both of them and said NOPE! And drove home to use the toilet as fast as possible.

Afterwards she didn’t think it was so bad that it warranted a trip home, but I chalk that up to cultural differences. She must’ve seen some shit in her life if that was acceptable in any way.

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That’s it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it’s in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
