Ladies hovering, a serious issue

[skipro33]

Somehow it’s worse when it isn’t yours? Somehow?

And for the love of God, anyone unfortunate enough to have to use public facilities for a solid evacuation should be flushing contemporaneously with the evacuee making contact with water. Some folks think it okay to sit for an extended period on top of a dead mountain goat fouling everything around them. It isn’t. Elvis needs to immediately leave the building just as quickly as he left you.

Many toilets do not flush manually. Home Depot for example, or Walmart uses those sensors that can tell when you get up off the pot. I've had 2, even 3 flushers but couldn't because of these types of toilets. And I don't know what the secret is; wave a hand, stand up for a second, hell, nothing works!!

Add to that sometimes they don't flush at all!!! Entering a stall with these sensor flushers, finding a poo pyramid up to seat level makes it obvious the thing is broke. When one won't flush for me, I take the time to run down an employee to let them know they have a problem in stall # what-ever and it aint gettin' any prettier in there.

I laughed so hard over this thread that I started a sneezing fit. Thanks everyone!

I got some good laughs from this thread as well. I was looking forward to seeing some pics of the lady's man and those hovering about. What was the backstory?? Was he so handsome? Did he win the mega-millions lottery? Can he cook a great meal on the community BBQ? Or maybe he is the slow dance champion.

Going to a public toilet is one aspect of life where it is good to be a man.

Yes - since this is a retirement forum, I thought it might have to do with "casseroling."

I thought he was being pursued by too many women, and needed advice.

 

[Amethyst]

There's a tiny button to press that activates the flush, when the electric eye decides it's seen enough and stops working. I learned this on long-distance car trips where one must use public rest stops....

I try to carry these. They fit into a pocket easily, could even fit into the side of a running shoe.

If they're going to "hover" they should lift the seat like men.

Exactly!! What about the rest of us? I should wipe their piss off?

 

[aja8888]

I wonder if accidents caused by "hovering" and/or dismounting are covered by ACA insurance or (gasp!) Medicare? I mean, I can visualize some tricky positioning and movements which could result in a slip or fall.

Or at least carry, and utilize, a plastic kitchen funnel, (these are available in various sizes), at all times.

Remember using the public toilet adjacent to the Forbidden City in Beijing in 1996. I passed several local women in stalls and quickly averted my eyes. Maybe leaving the stall door open was a Beijing

As I quickly discovered, there WERE no doors. And no toilets either: just a hole in the floor in the middle of a large, concrete stall. The walls were out of reach, so it was pure squatting.

Oh and... no toilet paper either. On subsequent touring days, every pocket of my travel vest was stuffed with TP. I looked like Mae West - and didn't care.

In high school I worked in a hotel and part of my duties were cleaning the lobby and attached men's and women's rooms. Back then the customer base was probably around 70/30 men/women. The women's room was always a disgusting mess. It was Like these adult women were intentionally messing the room up. Never understood it unless they figured "Finally a room I don't have to clean" and trashed it intentionally.

 

[frayne]

Men should always aim to please and women should sit and stay seated until the performance is over. Problem solved !

 

[candrew]

@Lsbcal, maybe you should have posted your complaint in the pet peeve thread.

Urine trouble for making those sorts of remarks.

 

[haha]

I had a college friend whose female steady insisted on peeing on him in her foreplay. Maybe these female hovercraft that you describe are just a bit shy of the direct approach?

Ha

I worked in the clubhouse at a golf course and found the exact same thing. The ladies locker room was far, far worse than the mens.

 

[imoldernu]

Outhouses with running water?

Are you saying that the condition of the ladies' locker room was not up to par?

Maybe just a hole in the ground? That's what was available in the public restrooms at the train station in Asilah, Morocco. Imagine my surprise during our train journey when I went to use the toilet in the car and it was merely an opening in the floor that dropped human waste on to the tracks below.

 

[pacergal]

Just wipe the seat with TP, then place tp down if there are no seat covers and sit to do your thing. Wash your hands when done, or carry hand sanitizer! You really will not catch any diseases from the toilet seat. Its not that difficult
Or as the saying someone posted at one of my work bathrooms went: "If you sprinkle when you tinkle, be a sweetie and wipe the seatie"

 

[easysurfer]

Not intending to hijaak. Being male, and single living on my own without a spouse to report to, I've in the past had the seat up (more convenient for the guy). Plus, regardless of seat up or down, I've always thought, gotta touch the bar either way, so what's the point?

But after I having a discussion with a female friend about the seat up vs seat down controversy, I've switched to seat down. Main reason, that's the courteous thing to do. I've got to the point now that feels odd to leave the seat up.

Now about the hovering controversy, I'm gonna let the women here fight their own battles and know when to stay out of the scrum .

A business idea: disposable water soluble paper funnels for men and women on a wall dispenser. Seat on a spring so it is up unless sat upon.

Yes old Europe as well, especially camp grounds. Just hope you don't get diarrhea! Check your heels!

Do you have a Russian video of that one?!

Grandson was being scolded by the females in the family about leaving the seat up. So, I tried an experiment. I declared that I like both seats down. The seat plus the cover seat. Well, I didn’t press the issue, but the cover seat never gets put down. Apparently the toilet needs to be at the ready to sit on but never ready for standing or just being in it’s fully closed position. Thankfully, DGS is getting better at putting the seat down. It was getting him in trouble.

I don’t know how you world travelers deal with this. I’ll admit that I have issues and the thought of my morning constitution being akin to my exercise program doesn’t really work for me. Not saying that’s the reason I don’t travel, but it’s one of the reasons I don’t mind the fact that I don’t travel abroad.
