hover, but i've seen plenty of things tell me there's no reason not to sit & that there's far less bacteria on the seat than the door handle, it's just a habit now.

SIT. And i wish we could all collectively agree on this then there never would be pee on the seat!!!!

I hover.
I have seen way too much pee splatter, pubes, and other nasty remnants left on public toilet seats for me to ever feel comfortable popping a squat there.

Depends on the state of the bathroom -- I generally sit if it looks like they're regularly cleaned and don't have obvious nasties lurking, but hover if it's one of those "ew, yuck, I don't want to be in here but can't escape natures call" moments.

Sit! I read an article one time about a university doing a study of public restrooms cleanliness vs other things in daily life... a toilet seat is the last thing we come in contact with daily that you need to worry about!! It also said the first stall was almost always the cleanest!

Hover for #1, hover closer and throw in toilet paper to prevent splash for #2...I know TMI

@jill_a55: that's why, when given the option, i always choose the first stall!

Hover unless I have to go so bad and know I just got to sit!
@jill_a55: I always try and choose the first stall too

@DillonLion: agree! Hovering tends to lead to pee on the seats. I we all sat that wouldn't be an issue! Haha.
I sit. If it's gross I pick a new stall. If they are all gross I hold it!

I sit if it's clean. If it's not, I use a toilet cover. If they don't have them and it's a dirty bathroom, I'll hover.

@MamaJ: Whoa! Not even attempt to hover if they're all gross?

Hover, even for #2 sometimes. I don't know why, i just can't bring myself to sit on a public toilet. If I *have* to sit, I put toilet paper down on the seat.

@BabyBoecksMom: lol I'm not good at the hover at all. If I can't hold it I will attempt the hover haha

Depends on the facilities. Some places I just cannot get far enough away from the seat. But well kept places I just sit.

I'm too short to comfortably hover so I typically sit. Unless the situation absolutely warrants otherwise...

Usually I sit, but with multiple seat covers. The absolute exception to this - in college, and since then - are bars.

I always sit......being only 5'2" there is no way that I would be able to hover.

I wipe it off with tp, then sit. The tp prob doesn't do much, but makes me feel better somehow?

@PurplePeony: there's a local fast food chain here called Pollo Tropical that I eat at because the food is fresh and the bathrooms are impeccable. Well one day I go there and one of the stalls had a shit storm. Seriously there's what poo on the seat and on the walls. I couldn't believe it. I told the manager because it was embarassing. Yeah, a bathroom may look nice when you show up, but for some reason people don't put everything in the toilet when it's a public toilet sometimes.

Sit, and I don't try to cover up my #2 splashes... I'm proud of my poop!
