Dear Toilet Squatters:
I respect your freedom to choose to squat over the toilet.
However, I choose not to.
Why? Because I understand that unless I have an open sore on my butt (which I do not), then the chances of me catching any dread disease from a toilet seat is minimal. Which, to me, makes squatting just not worth it.
That being said, just because I'm not afraid of catching something from the toilet seat, does not mean that I don't deserve to be able to sit on a DRY toilet seat.
That's right. Your aim SUCKS.
Learn to aim, or at least have the courtesy to turn around & wipe your pee off the seat before you leave.
For someone who is so dainty, or whatever, that you can't sit on a toilet seat, you sure are disgusting, leaving your own bodily fluids sitting around like that.
Oh, and BTW, I will (and have in the past) call you out on it, if I happen to enter the stall right behind you. Whether I sit in it, or notice it & wipe down the seat myself, I have no problem calling you out on it in front of whomever else happens to be there.
Thank you. Have a nice day. And remember the Girl Scout code: leave this place better than you found it. Not pissier.
Re: Dear Toilet Squatters:
As a squatter I have to respond to your calling out portion. I do check the seat when I am finished and wipe it off - provided it was dry when I entered the stall. However, I have certainly hovered over a seat that had someone else's pee on it that I did not wipe off. So had you called me out about that - it wouldn't have been my mess - it was someone else's. And honestly, I am not going to start wiping off other people's urine. I'm just saying.
But I do live by the following when it comes to my own bodily fluids: If you sprinkle when you tinkle, please be neat and wipe the seat.
From a fellow squatter...my thoughts exactly!
i SO agree with you.
my mom always says 'if you sprinkle when you tinkle, be a sweetie and wipe the seatie.'

I needed a letter like this today. Thanks for the chuckle.
And in many a workroom bathroom stall I have seen the "if you sprinkle when you tinkle please be neat and wipe the seat" typed and taped to the doors...
I can't say that I've ever called someone out, but I agree. I hate when it's all over the seat! soooo gross.......
I'll definitely co-sign this letter!

This drives me up a wall too! What I also hate is when I can't determine if it's pee or water splash up from the toilet. I have on many occasions watched the toilet flush to see if it's the toilet water or pee.
That drives me insane! If I see pee on the seat, I'll either hold mine or go find a different stall. That's just..yuck.
And I am LOLing at Daves! I could never be a squatter because of the same thing. LOL!
lol, Love that saying..... and coming from a large family having 5 uncles living at grannies... she had a saying posted on the wall behind the toilet.
" we aim to please you, you aim too... please!"
always thought it was cute.
LOL - this has so made my day!
I do alot of work at a pool and what gets me is when the seat is all wet from all the wet butts on it before you and they never dry it off.
