Today at 1:52pm
I am tagging everyone who is female on my list because I have had it.
I have had it with females who hover over public bathroom seats and in so doing, pee on the seat.
2 of the stalls in the bathroom today had toilets with pee on them.
adream sent me this once:
http://www.cnn.com/2008/LIVING/personal/05/06/o.tinkler/index.html
and it's funny, but the woman never clearly addressed the true nature of the problem.
the myth of how sitting on the goddamned toilet seat will give you diseases.

females don't sit on the seat because of what other women have said.

don't listen to what your mother has told you.
seriously. she's wonderful and sweet and beautiful and smart, but she's freaking wrong.
I did some research.
no diseases can be contracted from sitting on a toilet seat.
know why?

toilet seats are hard and cold.
bugs and bacteria? yah, don't like to hang out in toilet seats. they die.
this includes crabs.
yes, even if you went in there .5 seconds after the last girl.

STDs are spread through sexual contact.
you might try to be clever here and contest me with, "oh yah? what about syphilis and herpes?!"
and you know that is another consideration, because both of those can be spread through lesions.
but you know what?
you need to be in physical contact with their lesions.
are you touching the toilet seat with your hands, and then masturbating or sucking your thumb in a public restroom stall?
if so, then you might have a larger issue than my issue with other girls' pee.
also, think about how you sit on the toilet seat.
where is your vagina and anus?
are they on the seat?

skin is an amazing defense against bacteria and disease.
it's your hands that do most of the injury.
not somebody else's ass on the toilet seat....because their skin is blocking the bacteria, too.

if there was a pool of blood left on the seat .00000000000001 seconds before you got in the stall, and you had an open cut, and the open cut was smeared with the blood (and I'm talking about you rubbing around in it)...then, yes, maybe.

otherwise, no. not at all. never.

so, please, sit on the seat, so there isn't pee.
tell your mum, too.

let us stand, or sit in this case, as intelligent women in the next public restroom stall we enter, because we know we are safe, because our bodies are equipped with things such as skin to protect us against diseases that were never actually on the seat to begin with.

let us stand (sit) against this rumor, which by the way I heard was started by adulterous men to explain their wives' STDs away with a public restroom instead of their cheating bastardness.

let us pee in the bowl, and make every public restroom experience better for the next gal.

a revolution of the public toilet.
