What Do You Do When There's Wee On A Public Loo Seat?

Millie
You are making me laugh!

JuliaM Your story reminds me of squatting toilets in France.
I was absolutely desperate to go but the one I happened to go into was revolting! Hubby dashed into the mens and the squatting toilet was clean so, with nobody around and in sight - I went there with DH standing guard (poor chap!) Fortunately I don't come across them that often and the last time I did - it was clean. Whew! Thinking of them - I have an terrible fear that I will fall down one of them (goes back to my childhood when travelling on a rickety ferry to Turkey and there was just a hole for a squatting loo. I hung on to mum for dear life in case I dropped through!)

Ha! We took my son and his friend (16?) to France one summer. She decided her personal challenge that holiday was to use a "hole in the ground" toilet at a service station before we went home ?
I was always glad we had our own touring caravan with a spotlessly clean toilet hitched up to the car!!

I repeat - the toilets inChina are appalling (20 times worse than anything in France- same style but filthy)
I owed that I would never complain about a British toilet again. Of course I have done though!

It is bad enough when you notice, but ten times worse when you don't and are aware you have just sat on a wet seat, what do you then? I don't often have wet wipes in my bag (obviously should) and feel desperately unclean until I can have a full wash.

Use loo paper. But I hate it too and now always wipe the seat with loo paper before I sit down just in case. By the way you can’t catch anything this way it’s just a horrid feeling.

To answer OP’s question .........leave!

Gosh, yes, public toilets in China were appalling! And in restaurants too, I went to the toilet after eating when near The Summer Palace which was a big mistake. Apart from being filthy, it was right next to the kitchen, had no door and no sink and there was a sack of onions stored in it!

In Tienaman Square, I joined the long queue of mainly Chinese people and after a while the elderly attendant grabbed my arm and pushed me into the disabled cubicle. I tried to resist but then realised she was showing me that it had a western style toilet rather than a hole in the floor. After that I always used the disabled toilet if there was one - as did the rest of the ladies on the coach!

Regarding the dirty lady in Rome, some people are so impractical they have no clue as to how to clean in emergency situations. A dear deceased friend of mine had never owned a plastic bucket in all her life.

I won’t use a loo that has wee on the seat or floor. if another cubicle isn’t available I just wait until later, or until I get home (with crossed legs!)
I always assume any spill is due to young children using the loo, I never assumed it was adult women ??‍♀️

I wouldn’t leave the problem for someone else who needs that toilet. Wipe it, use toilet, flush and then wash my hands. Unpleasant but problem gone.

Consider how it could happen. I have had to. It happens to me occasionally. There’s a medical condition that causes the extra leakage! It’s not severe for me but I always check upon rising! I quite often envy men when they give it a shake. Yes, I can see some of you getting ready to type “use paper”. I do.

Can’t wait for the next toilet thread ???.

Run out screaming
Or just wipe it up and get on with the job in hand if I need a wee no way am I going to fuss about Still alive and healthy

As it says in that objectionable Tena ad, “ a few drops of wee never hurt anybody”.
Just wipe it up, assuming you have got time before you use it yourself. But if you are desperate......

I open the door and shout ‘who is the dirty beggar who was last in here! ‘

(No, of course I don’t but I’m very tempted)
