Do you cover the toilet seats with toilet paper when you potty at other people's houses?
I do!

No, I've never been to anyone's house where I feel the need to.

No, unless it looks really nasty in there then I'll just hover like in public places.

Never crossed my mind to do it. But if the bathroom was gross enough I'd probably just skip using it and wait for a cleaner bathroom.

Nope. Don't really see the need. I mean, I don't do that in a public restroom, why would I do it in someone's home, which is probably cleaner? Besides, what is a thin layer of TP going to protect me from, anyways? lol.

No, if the toliet looks disgusting I will hold off! Most of the houses we go too are close family/friends so I trust their housekeeping!

I've never done this at a friends house ever. I guess I just assume they clean their bathrooms? lol!
blogger / wonderful cherry / 21628 posts
No. Everyone I visit keeps their bathrooms clean.

@MediaNaranja: @MrsBrewer: @adnama: ditto to you gals... Don't do it in public, don't do it at a friend's/family member's house.

Nope! I've never even thought of doing that before. @MrsBrewer: @adnama: Ditto.

I would only go at my close friends or family's house, and they all keep it pretty clean, so no.

Never! I"ve never been to someone's house where I've felt the need to do that. But I do it in public restrooms.

Friends a s family thankfully are quite tidy. If it was sketchy, I would, though.

No, I don't do that in public or in people's houses. I'm a big fan of the hygiene hypothesis, and I believe that casual exposure to germs is overall absolutely required for a healthy person to remain healthy.

No...never. I don't do it in public ones either. Haven't there been studies that show that toilet seat covers do...basically nothing and your chance of "catching" anything from a seat are like, non-existent?

@MrsBrewer: @HabesBabe: Same! Never mastered the hover either. I seriously thought I was the only one who didn't care lol
If I have friends who are so nasty it crosses my mind to cover the toilet, I don't know that I would visit them!

I always inspect the seat, anywhere I am. Usually in other people's homes, the seat is clean.
In public, I hover unless the seat is miraculously totally clean. Then I wipe with TP and sit.

@MrsTiz: I can't hover either! I think I tried once....and well...I think I ended up like peeing on my own leg! yuck! I just sit now.....much easier!

My friends are all super OCD clean so I have no prob sitting on their toilets. If I go somewhere a bit questionable though I'll def hover.

Nope, you are way more at risk from the spray from flushing toilets getting into your airways and mucous membranes than from putting your dirtiest part on the seat.
eggplant / 11287 posts
No way!
I mean I guess I would if it was some nasty bathroom that looked like it was never cleaned, but most of the people's houses I go to seem to keep their house pretty decently clean.
I am not really a germaphob

If their house is spotless, and I think they are very hygienic people who probably clean the toilet all the time, I sit.
If I'm suspicious about the cleanliness there, I'll hover.

@MsMini: Which is exactly why I always put the lid down before flushing. Always.
If it doesn't have a lid, I wash my hands first, then grab a piece of toilet paper and use it to flush the toilet as I dash out the door. Or flush it with my foot and run.
Does that make me sound like a freak? Oops.

I have never been to someone's house that was SO DIRTY that I felt like I needed to cover the toilet seat.
Ew.
I have seen some that were iffy but they weren't bad enough that I wouldn't just use it bare bummed
pomelo / 5321 posts
Nope, I don't think I would be visiting if I was worried about sitting on someones toilet.
bananas / 9973 posts
No. Lol! It's never crossed my mind at someone I know's house. I think our friends are pretty clean!
