so you all always seem to have an answer for everything . . . what would you do (I know what I'm doing next time) . . .

Derrick had a doctor's appointment - as is usual for a kid - he had to go to the bathroom (none in the doctor's office, they're outside in the hall).  Sooooo considering he had to go I took him to the women's - the woman who had just used the bathroom and walked out the door had gone ALL OVER the toilet seat . . . do you (a) call her back and tell her to wipe up / (b) let it go and clean it up yourself . . .

 Sure it was tinkle???  My toilet has a very forceful flush...IMO...and almost always splashes water on the seat...cuz I know I be hittin the mark!  LOL

Other than that...I don't really know what I would do...Kinda gross when you think about wiping someone elses pee off the seat....EEEEWWWWWWWWWW!!!  But I am not much good with embarrasing someone in public either...

[davsar]

I get real disgusted, but still wipe up after her.  And then I hold my child above the chair so they don't touch it at all.

 Probably would have just wiped it up myself but been totally disgusted. However, if I passed her again I would probably give her a dirty look.

 Growing up, my mom practically had a toilet cleaning kit in her purse. She would spray it down, wipe it off and finish up with some Lysol.  Even after all that I STILL had to sit on strips of toilet paper.

But I have a boy...and as long as I can keep him from trying to play in the trash....or from picking gum from under the bowl, etc. we're ok. If it's too bad I would arm myself with a huge wad of toilet paper, clean it as good as I can and pray I don't get a disease.

I'm not one for embarrassing people.

 That's gross!  I would have let it slide though, lots of people squat and it may have been there before her.  I know, I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt & she probably peed all over that seat herself! 

[ArmyWife95]

 That is disgusting!

Corriekate is right, it might have just been from the flush. Some of the public restrooms I've used splash back up on the seat. I always wipe the seat down anyway, just in case. But I'm too big to hover, LOL! And if the person ahead of me didn't flush, I just flush it and then go about my business. Some people are pigs, there's nothing you can do about it.

Anyone else flush public toilets with their foot?

[DN in MN]

ewwww.... I would just clean it up and move on... I agree about the forceful flushing toilets. We have them here at work and I swear sometimes, it will suck things out of the air!

[Renee]

 I always flush with my foot...
I probably would have wiped it down and went about my business or if it was really disgusting..waited for another stall to open.

[Queen Mum]

 I'd call her back or talk to the nurse or receptionist and say loudly THAT WOMAN OVER THERE ...........

It's amazing that there are people like this, especially if there is a long line to use the toilet after you and you still leave the seat wet!

PIGS

[baltoscrapper]

 ewwwwwwwww, really, ewwwwwwwwwwww.

[MLee]

 I would wipe it down. I carry hand sanitizer in my purse so I would clean my hands and move on. What would be the point in embarrassing the woman, especially if you aren't sure she did it or if it wasn't the toilet itself?

I was always taught to flush with my foot but then it occured to me that the handle isn't more dirty than every thing else I'm touching in that stall, from the door latch to the handle on the wash basin. Now I just flush, leave and wash my hands with my sanitizer and call it done! Besides, what's on the bottom of your foot that you're leaving for the next person to touch?

[lilkoala3]

 Uh, I'm not getting close to anyone's pee except for my own, I will hover on top of the mess, my dear!  My leg muscles are really strong from doing this my whole life.  Sometimes, there doesn't even have to be pee on a seat to motivate me to hover.

[beachlover]

 ewww, I get so grossed out by public rest rooms!  I would rather have an accident than have to use one....  Almost.  I'd probably clean it up then give her dirty looks too untiul she KNEW that I knew!  See, that is why I hate public rest rooms!

[Flapdoodle]

 What's so hard about cleaning up after yourself anymore?
Damn, people suck!!!

[lizziej]

 Don't even get me started on public restrooms.  Some of the women on my floor at work are NASTY!  I go through this EVERY single day!  I look for a clean stall, and if they are all dirty, I go to the one that's the least dirty, and then I remember which one was dirtiest that day so I can avoid it.  I don't know why women can be so filthy.  Sometimes it is the toilet flush, other times I KNOW it's pee because it's colored!!  Sometimes I think women that hover and can't do it right make a huge mess.  That being said, I would have wiped the seat, and, as I was wiping, I'd be saying, "I sure hope this is not pee that's on the seat.  That's nasty to think that people are so dirty," because I've done that before.  Then I'd line the seat with strips of paper if he needed to sit down.

Here's something to think about:  you gotta wonder how nasty the bathrooms are at school!!  Blech!

[Wheeliegirl]

 I would just clean it up and move on.

[Janet]

 I hate that...it drives me crazy.  I usually find another stall...but I've been verbal about it....not accusing, just saying things like...why don't people clean up their own messes or why can't people just sit on the seat so they don't miss!    But I have cleaned it up if it was the only place to go and I was desperate.

[Pegster]

 I would just wipe it up and finish my job. Of course, being a nurse, urine doesn't bother me at all though. another thingto look at  is that sometimes when someone dribbles on the seat it is due to stress incontinence..which is where the muscles that control the urine may be weak..they may urinate, wipe and then stand up and have a trickle..and they may not even notice it. yea they should probably look at the seat..but I guess some people don't.
