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.

You're not the only one. My dad does the same thing. Even at home. When he needs to pee he sits, and wipes.


Past a certain age a wipe will be productive as often as not.  (I know, too much information.  But hey, no one said getting older would be all convertibles and younger chicks.)

RE: Public Toilet Strategies
If I have to sit, I use a minimum of two ass gaskets.

This also brings to mind a thought that I always have. I wash my hands before I use the restroom. I will after I poo, but I am skilled enough handling my john-boy that I manage to not piss on my hands with 100% accuracy. My thoughts are thus: I am reasonably certain that my area is among the cleanest parts of my body. I am diligent in making sure this is so. My hands are far more dirty. So I clean them before I touch my wiener.

Checkmate, atheists.

At work, I pretty much have a john dedicated to me (don't ask), not that I use it often. When I do have to go though, I use my fantastic origami skills to craft paper-toilet-seat making sure it does not get wet in any way till my business is done, at which point I'll again use my skills to craft some origami gloves or tongs, and sacrifice all of my creations in the raging whirlpool below.

RE: Public Toilet Strategies
It's entirely dependent on the bathroom.

My work restrooms are public to the building (shared between the suites on the first and second floors) but I'll sit on those toilets because I know their cleaned regularly and the repeat customer nature of the bathroom means people aren't going to be assholes about peeing on the seat.

If its a restaurant or cafe toilet, I'll vary the strategy based on the niceness of the restaurant or cafe and how clean the toilet looks.

I NEVER sit on portapotty toilets.

I know we don't have a lot of women on the forum, but am I really the only one who squats? I know most of my girlfriends do it too...

I avoid them like fire. Seriously, I won't even walk near one. They're like fucking biological weapons

So rexabecca, do you wash your hands before or after handling Steel's wiener?

Well, first we'd have to ask permission from his lady and my man, but then I'd probably wash my hands; I wouldn't want to take away from its... pristinity? pristineness?

Pristinity.
