Rant about Toilet Seats

Tonight I went to go to the washroom at the grocery store and found it so covered in urine that I had to 'hover' over the toilet seat. As I was hovering, I wondered if the people waiting outside to use the washroom could hear the thundering noise that urine makes when dropping from such heights. I resented being put in this 'position'.

I made sure it was clean when I left…

Let me just say that I HATE it when people don’t clean up after themselves. If you are weird enough to not sit on the toilet seat, PLEASE clean it up after yourself! I USUALLY check to make sure the coast is clear before I plop myself down, but there is the odd time I don’t and that is when… what an icky icky icky feeling! There’s nothing quite like the sensation of having others urine on your ass. And I swear there are some toilet seats that camouflage the wet seat because I’ve checked and it appeared to be clean and yet I still ended up with that horrible sensation. Talk about being duped!

I could go on and on, but a friend of mine said it the best. Rose got pissed off after encountering one too many soiled toilet seats one day and wrote a note to put up in all the women’s washrooms on her floor. It’s classic and VERY to-the-point so I’ve included it here…

A LESSON IN TOILET SEATS

The toilet seat is inherently clean.

The toilet seat should NOT give you a disease, bad germs etc.... The skin on people’s butts is relatively clean. If you are that worried about germs, then think about what dirty things your hands touch, like doorknobs (IN THE BATHROOM) and computer keyboards. People pick their noses (and other areas) A LOT!!!!!!!!

The toilet seat MIGHT be gross and dirty because those of you who are scared of germs and squat over the toilet seat in an effort to avoid germs PEE ON THE SEAT.

Let’s face it; squat peeing is never a clean stream. It is in contact with your genitals before it hits the air. THAT is when pee that would normally be clean picks up germs. And when you squat that germy pee ends up on the toilet seat for all the sane sitters to pick up.

THAT IS GROSS!!!!!!!!!! If you are a toilet-seat-o-phobic, and feel the paranoid need to squat, PLEASE WIPE YOUR PEE OFF THE SEAT WHEN YOU ARE FINISHED (preferably with soap and water). OR, put toilet paper on the seat before you sit on it. Either way, TRY TO GET SOME PEE IN THE TOILET!!!!!!!

Thank you-

Blogs have been known to comment on a variety of issues, ranging from the latest "Here is what I think" type of blog to the latest big movie release to the newest computer on the market. Your blog is very topic specific and should do very well. Keep up the good work.

Also, you might want to look at two very important, topic-specific blogs for some ideas. MediaNews (www.poynter.org/medianews) and (www.iwantmedia.com). First started in 1999 as independent sites. Romenesko's site is particularly interesting for being a must read for media insiders, often creating a hot debate throughout the journalism community, because of its unique combining of news and rumors.

Thanks for your input (I think?).

FYI: Please don't post here unless you have specific feedback or comments about my blog. This doesn't include "keep up the good work". That sounds totally fake because I know my blog is a lot of things but NOT "good work". Yikes.

If you just want to put links up to sell things, I will think you are a total loser and remove it faster than you can say "what the?"

If you have links to useful webpages, I'll consider keeping it. Maybe. Probably not though. You'd better either suck up better or have some kickass sites in there.

Otherwise feel free to post comments.

people who spam make me want to use their product LESS. AND visit their site less. Lets stop polluting innocent blogs with weird unnecessary shit. It ruins things for other people when you have to put "friends only" posting because psychos are stalking our webpages.
