Do you put a cover on the toilet seat?

[Anonymous]

My Mom was super OCD and taught me to always use toilet seat covers. Somewhere along the way I would just hover and now I really don't care.

I'm a scientist, in biology, so it's not like I don't know about germ theory I just don't think it does anything and is wasting paper.

Am I a weirdo? Anyone else do the same?

I lay two strips of toilet paper on public toilet seats.

I hover. If there’s splash, I wipe that off.

I don’t feel comfortable sitting on a public toilet seat—cover or not.

Bathroom hygiene is actually important, so yeah, whatever it takes.

You move it into the bowl with your hands (the dry part).

Thank you for wiping it off. So many hover and just leave the mess for the next person.

Nope I wipe it off then sit.

What does that mean? You think you'll get a disease from a toilet seat?

No toilet seat cover, no hovering unless circumstances are really bad. Most of the time I sit my buttcheeks right on the seat.

Still alive, no STDs, and have never even had covid.

No and I don't hover either. I've never had any negative repercussions from this lack of worry at a public toilet and I'm way older than you. I do inspect the seat for remnants of the last person and wipe that off before I sit down.

You’re welcome! Not all hoverers are gross.

I think there are nasty people on both sides….that’s where the mess comes from.

I’m the clean hoverer from above.

Does anyone feel like the seat isn’t clean enough from wiping the dirty toilet seat with a dry piece of toilet paper?

I guess that’s what gets me. It’s not sanitized.

I sit my bare azz right on the seat, assuming it’s visibly clean. I know what’s going on there, and I know what happens when I flush. Public toilets usually have no cover, so I’m about to breathe it all in. I’m definitely not worried about exposing my booty to germs knowing what I’m about to inhale. Also, I don’t have the best balance. I’m afraid I’ll tip over while hovering and pee all over myself.

I figure that if I’m engaging in dangerous activities like breathing while I’m in a public bathroom, eating at restaurants, or touching door handles at work, I can handle the risk of my sweet cheeks touching a dry seat.
