  1. Ewww we have one too – although I didn’t know what they are called! I have now armed myself with loo seat covers (available from Clicks thanks BFF for the tip) and disinfectant loo wipes (also available from Clicks -BFF again – she knows I am germ phobic and keeps her eye open for such items for me). Now I just have to get over the automatic gag reflex

  2. Someone is clearly not getting enough fiber. Really! In this day and age. Do they know how naaaasty a colonoscopy is? Pffft.

    And mmmmm? I wonder if that’s what the splattermail boys had in mind? Ew.

  3. betenoir: Are you warming up for a performance?

    stef: I don’t think “tinkling” is the major issue here. We’d do better with something like If you spew when you poo…

    charmskool: Gag reflex? You aren’t supposed to eat the seat covers.

    dolce: Is “pffft” what happens after a colonoscopy?

    nursemyra: Any tips on – uh – handling the shituation?

    miss M: You never know. If the culprit adopts such a cavalier attitude towards one aspect of the toilet experience, he may well be negligent in others.

  4. No Kyk dearest I gag when viewing the seat – I tend now to peer cautiously in through the door first. If I see anything even remotely unpleasant looking – even if it’s only my shadow – I bolt and head back to my little cubicle and wait till I see the cleaning ladies heading into the loos.

  6. I’m sorry but when I’m taking a shit I want to sit down, relax, read, and take my time. I have a sense of control in that area. Splaterer’s ruin it for the rest of us take your timer types. They won’t sit on the pot because a predator could barge in at any moment or because sharing toilet seats is unsanitary or something. Idiots. How unsanitary to shit up a bathroom like that and just leave it. It’s easy to clean up wet shit spray, but when it dries you have to take a butter knife to scrape it off.

  8. Gives new meaning to the term “rim shot”. I admit to a close inspection of the seat before considering sitting…or choosing to go elsewhere. And, yes, I’d rather be paid to take my dump at work “at the library”* than do so at home for free.

    happy snapper: Are you sure it wasn’t Mr Hankey?

    miss M: I’m glad to know that you know that I know.

    angel: Maybe it’s part of the new productivity drive at work.

    gnukid: It’s only fair. I view it as an application of the GIGO principle (although it would be more accurate to call it the CICO or SISO principle, in this case).

    peas: See above.

    This is just what I needed after the day I’ve had.

  12. I can see this as a new series on Reality TV: (crap tv)

    1: The other side of Load Shedding (The bottom side)
    2: The Cosby Show (and don’t tell)
    3: The biggest loser (what really happens when spinach and laxatives meet)

    The DVD series will be a HIT – soundtrack by Police and of course a special discount – buy the first two and get the turd one free.
