It's something I really detest and there is absolutely no need for it.  Everyone on the planet must have used a public lavatory at some point in their life.  Why is it some people though, feel the need to urinate (have a wee) all over the toilet seat?  I guess I'm very specifically talking about men here because I would imagine that women would find it quite difficult to make that mess. Correct me if I'm wrong though, it's just I don't spend time in the ladies toilet these days.

Another disgusting toilet

I've been to all manner of different public toilets from motorway service stations and train stations to pubs and nightclubs.  You can be pretty certain that half of them will have a cubicle containing a yellow stained dripping bum seat at some point.  Absolutely disgusting, and from experience I'd say the pubs and clubs have the worst, especially the closer you get to closing time.  Some men after a few beers just plain loose the ability to pee straight. The floor usually gets this treatment as well so you end up standing in a stinking puddle too scared to move or touch anything.

Some public conveniences have sanitary wipes or tissue seat covers.  Very good idea in my opinion, although sometimes it's so bad it might be a lost cause.  How many of you have carefully placed a neat ring of tissue around the seat before lowering your derriere?

Bottom line, peeing on a public toilet seat should be made a criminal offence and a fitting punishment for these chaps would be to send them back to potty training school!

Toilet Seats Get a Bum Rap, Experts Say
This is an entertaining read.  The toilet seat gets a bad rap and aren't quite as germ infested we though and you're more likely to catch something from the door handle.  Sound familiar?

Public Toilets Are Many Mothers' Worst Nightmare
59 percent of all parents look for a cleaner cubicle if they find a dirty toilet seat.  24 percent of all parents will do the best under the circumstances and put their toddler on the dirty toilet seat.  Well I feel sorry for the 24 percent!

Can someone tell me why women think it's ok to pee on toilet seats these days. It's absolutely disgusting. These brainless selfish uncaring morons don't care that a child could be the next person in that loo having to wipe off this pee being too small to hover over the toilet. Time and time again my 8 year old grandaughter has actually sat in this pee as she has not noticed it. THINK ladies it doesn't take much to lift the seat oh and for the brainless use a piece of toilet paper to lift it as you are probably the ones who do not wash your hands either.

LARNACA Airport Cyprus on the Departure side at the Restaurant Level are the most disgusting Male Lavatories in Europe. They have been vandalised but are never cleaned or re-stocked with paper. It will be the last thing you are thinking about when making plans to go home so please bear in mind. It was my lasting memory of Cyprus and in many ways summed up the country.

Shell service station Tot Hill A34 (N)

Toilets - Male and Female Disgusting Worst I have ever seen. Have used the station on a weekly basis for 18 months and the standard is diabolical and unacceptable. Environmental Health need to be aware as they are totally unhygienic and a definite health hazard.

"I guess I'm very specifically talking about men here because I would imagine that women would find it quite difficult to make that mess" - Unfortunately women are able to make utterly the same mess as men do because they are scared to sit down, consequently they make the seat dirty, etc. Its a vicious circle. My question is how to learn women to sit down or at least take up the seat as men?
