1. That's why I always take a can of Lysol with me, wherever I go.
Okay, I don't. But if it were convenient....

3. I sometimes carry around a package of Scrubbing Bubbles wipes...
Edited on Mon May-09-05 02:23 PM by Fenris
They're flushable and not to awkward to carry in a backpack or briefcase.

5. You could also douse the seat with kerosene and light it.
This approach is much more fun if the neighboring stall is occupied.

10. No better way to strike up a friendship...
...than by asking the guy in the next stall for a favor.

You meet the FRIENDLIEST people there!

2. Assgaskets
I've never heard them called that-that is hilarious.

I personally use the handicapped stall, just make sure your shoes have a good grip on the railings.

4. I refuse to use those things
First, if it's my home bathroom that's a mute point

If it's my work bathroom, they're in there 3 times a day cleaning it and there's only like 6 women on our floor for 5 toilets

Finally if it's a public bathroom I'm not going to squat on the seat anyways even with a seat cover. And I hate putting my hand near something that I perceive to be filthy. Hell, I use my foot to flush

11. in a public bathroom
I take a couple of wet and a couple of dry paper towels in there with me. I clean that mofo before I sit.

In the bathroom at work I just take in a paper towel to mop up if necessary. If I use the wheelchair (private) bathroom I have to look out for hiding vomit. Many pregnant women on this floor. Ugh.

I swear I work with the most disgusting women on earth. :bleagh:

26. Squat and hold
It's a godsend.

Plus, I figured I went about 20 years in public bathrooms before the widespread use of seatcovers and yet I'm somehow still alive.

Go figure

14. Formerly Nixon Campaign Hats
I spose we could update the name.

This reminds me of a funny ad campaign (print) from many many years ago. The photo was a toilet seat, covered with indidual squares of TP (My mom's instructions, BTW, if ass gaskets or Bush campain hats, if you will, were unavailable). The caption: "The Mother of Invention"

25. I know that anyone brave enough to say she's perfected The Hover
would never admit to that particular skill unless she was very, very good at it. ;)
