I like this thread. It makes me feel like my paranoia is shared by others. ...except the three of you that go commando! EW!
i always go commando, but then again....maybe that's because I'm agoraphobic and don't often leave my house.
ok I'll admit it, sometimes I'll use a gasket and then piss all over the rest of them and the tp so the next person is screwed
What really sucks is comming back from the field to crap and the gasket sticks to your sweaty ass and you have to peel it off.
A close second would be either (1) you put down the gasket and it quietly falls into the toilet right before you sit down, thereby causing you to sit on the unprotected seat, or (2) you put down the gasket and an overactive motion sensor flushes the toilet right before you sit down.
i think ive been using these things wrong for 30+ years then. i'll switch up the placement and see how it works out!
This has probably already been mentioned, but you need to add a choice to the poll: I never use public restrooms.
you're a shitbreak kinda guy? thats cool - but sometimes you just gotta go. I have always used B, but just tried configuration A. it worked well. good thing they make these things idiot proof or we would all have ass warts.
I may go commando depending on the establishment... then again, I'd better have a really good reason to be sitting on a public toilet anyway. I'm talking red-light photo-finish emergency.
Those are both bad. Another...the gasket was askew when you sat, and when you are done...you need to reconsider your wipe job. And by far my most famous. You do a courtesy flush and without warning the crapper backs up and dumps over into your pants and shoes including the previous shatter's contents AND ass gasket remains. WORST EVER!
I can't imagine using the 'A' option. I have this thing called a penis and it seems like the paper would get in the way of things??
A good follow-up poll is whehter you wipe your ass by reaching around back or bending down front and reaching between the legs.. I always used to try and twist around and wipe from behind, but a year or so I switched to the 'Between the legs' method. Works great!
you wipe from the front without getting shit on your nut sack? you either have tiny balls or a lot of talent
I use a contraption that's a lot like an upside down unicycle with TP on the wheel. I just peddle myself to freshness!
Just limber I guess. It's not that hard to wipe without getting shit on your balls. (that was my concern at first, too). I saw and article in a magazine saying how much easier and more 'efficient' it is that way.
I am pretty organised and particular about my bowel movements in public toilets. Definitely A, why on earth would you want your man bits touching up against the inside of the toilet seat or bowl? Gross. These are the steps I follow: a) fistful of toilet paper used to wipe seat dry, then flush so clean water is in the bowl. b) Grab another fistful of toilet paper, wipe the seat again and place in the bowl creating almost like a nest to capture my poop with no splash or fuss. Before sitting down I'll place a seat cover using position A.
