Public toilets, what’s your methodology?

Yes, a high quality post right here

Picture the scene, you’re miles from home and that gentle unease you had earlier in the day now feels like you need a poo. Assuming you’re not going to squat down behind a hedge you find a supermarket or a pub and find your way to the least vandalised cubicle.

You check for toilet paper - not getting caught out like that again, and prepare to sit down. Do you wipe any of the surfaces first?

Toilet seat is quite common but anything else? If you assume that the previous occupants wiped their poo-smeared bottoms with toilet paper around the hand do you also give the flush handle a wipe before you start? But then what about the toilet door lock?

Where does the madness end?

If the toilet seat looks dodgy, I go to a different cubicle. Otherwise I sit on it, do what I need to do.

Then I go to the basin and wash my hands thoroughly.

I don't have OCD and my thighs can't catch any disease off a toilet seat !

I have usually line the seat with paper, do what I need to do, leave the cubicle and wash my hands. If I need to touch door handles on the way out I make sure as little skin surface as possible comes into contact with the door, the number of people who fail to wash their hands is astonishing.

Yes to be honest the standard of public loos is generally much higher nowadays, so I use them as normal and then wash my hands, but it really annoys me if I have to pull a door handle to get out and I try not to touch it cos I know it won't be clean.

Only gold plated, not solid gold? The recession really has hit hard

I find the cleanest one and just sit on it,to be fair I don't really come across filthy public toilets that much thankfully. It's easy too overthink these thing's and if I did I'd never move out of my home.

Cover the seat in a layer of toilet paper, also leave a sheet dangling at the front in case the tip of my penis should accidentally kiss the rim

Find the cleanest one and just go for it. Wash hands well after and open the door with my sleeve- can't bare touching toilet doors

Wipe the seat first then cover with sheets of paper. Also I line the top of the water with a few sheets of paper so there's no splash back but I do that even with my own toilet. When flushing I grab more paper and hold it in my hand to press the flusher. Anyway its all futile when you go to walk out of the place and the handle of the exit door is wet cause people don't dry their hands

I lift the seat with my foot to check for creepy crawlies under the seat ( mostly in village public toilets rather than pubs etc). Sit, shit, wash hands, try not to touch anything while exiting.

Hah, you should try a squat toilet in the Sahara. A festering trench with a battered tap and cut off plastic bottle for washing/flushing. All topped of with the faint buzzing of flies.

I’m still mentally scarred

I wouldn't poop in a public toilet.

The worst incident I had was recently when I stayed at the barracks with a guy I was kind of seeing, earlier in the night I'd bumped into the first guy I'd met and currently still adore so I knew he was sleeping in the block. Around 5 am my belly was hurting cos I'd eaten a greasy pizza hours before, the only toilet was in the corridor and was the men's that they shared. Around half 7 the guy I was staying with left to start work then came back in saying don't come out yet cos he's out here, I couldn't ask too many questions about what time he would start work cos the guy already said I was obsessed with him. I said please just text me when you see him over your way, I just needed to know if it was safe to have a dump without the guy I'm infatuated with walking in on me.

I had the text at 8am to say he's over there, thought I'll never hold this shit in for me to do the hour drive back home so I just went for it and it was the biggest poop I've ever done in my life it was like a French stick and then it wouldn't flush, had to flush 3 times and hit it with the toilet brush for it to go and it was the most torturous thing I've experienced for a while, I was sweating, the place was honking I kept thinking the guy I fancied would catch me in there. Bad times.

I regularly find myself having to use the loos at motorway service areas,truckstops and such. I always have my own supply of wet wipes for cleaning any surface that needs cleaning,including my own skin.

You can be as OCD and fastidious as you like but you can't 100% avoid contact with germs,all day,everyday.

Public loos are quite possibly no more dangerous in this respect than many other places where you come into contact with other people.

I once caught the most awful case of flu I ever experienced,on a bus. I never caught anything nasty in a public loo,should I clean any bus that I go on? Should I wear a particulate filtering face mask? Maybe but you can go too far with some things,worry just a little bit too much.

My urinal methodology faces up to the age old which one to use conundrum.

If I have a choice I will always go for the middle or next to the end to ensure that the next person has to stand next to me.

Childish I know but their discomfort amuses me.

The time that sticks out to me the most was when I went to services went in a cubicle and noticed no toilet paper so go to next one then hear someone enter the cubicle with no paper when I was then washing my hands he came out of the cubicle and straight out didn't even wash his hand

I think the "sit and go perspective" is generally from the female population... if you've ever experienced a male toilet this may change. We don't generally sit down to wee remember. Just walking in the cubicle can be "challenging". Let's remember "we" generally don't put the seat up either.

I stick by the don't touch anything mantra. Feet and finger tips... cover seat with toilet role. Handles... I even make loud sniffing noises if someone walks in. Better they think I'm doing than actually sitting on the toilet!

My motto is to never use public toilet for the brown package.

Salmonella, shigella, streptococcus, staphylococcus, E. coli, hepatitis A, common cold virus and influenza are all transmissible in public toilets.
