Then, watch the whole movie, because its actually quite good.

Great movie, but half the time I wanted to be sick. I know teenagers are gross in general, but this was over the top!

RE: Public Toilet Strategies
I tell people it's worse than any gratuitous gross-out movie America has ever made, but it's also a really good movie with something to say.

The main character is like a contrarian, but towards everyone's natural gag reflex.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:

"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."

For context, this is the previous verse:

"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

I avoid sitting on public toilets unless it's an absolute emergency.

That's the advantage of being a guy.

It's always an emergency as far as I'm concerned. Waiting to get home is never even a thought.

So, I looked that movie up on IMDB, and here was one of the photos for it...




Interesting...

Hahaha Watch it dude. You'll be conflicted. On one hand she's really hot, and on the other she's constantly scratching her hemorrhoids.

I, err...

I always use the cubicles, even when I don't have to. I find standing up pretty gross and messy, and I've had misfires in the past which aren't easy to come back from. Yes, I do it like a girl.

If it's dodgy I'll hover, if it looks alright I'll give it a wipe then sit on it.

RE: Public Toilet Strategies
I'm conflicted about public toilets.  Ours here are actually very good - clean, sanitary, well lighted, all that.  The government went to great expense of these things, and I feel like I'm ungrateful for not using them.  But like others, I'm more comfortable doing by business at home.

But I've come up with a solution.  I poo in a box at home and then bring it to a public toilet for flushing.  I try to vary the location, so as to be the best possible citizen I can.

In other words, it's my civic doody.

You're not the only one. My dad does the same thing. Even at home. When he needs to pee he sits, and wipes.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

I've heard that urine can sterilize the seat and I'm very public service minded. You're welcome.
