Why don’t you put paper down on the toilet seat before sitting on it?

Every once and a while I have to clean the toilet sit because the seat either has ass sweat/grime built up or a shit stain where the crack would be…and I start thinking why the hell are these people sitting bare ass on a public toilet seat????

Sometimes I do

I normally book a shower if I got the credits the bathrooms just be nasty

Hover.... Always hover. No bare ass on the seat and as an added bonus, the plops are more dramatic!
oasuke@reddit
This. Unless you're physically unable to squat over a seat, I see no reason why someone wouldn't hover. I've gotten so used to it that I even do it at home too. There's barely any splash and it's not messy. No TP. No ass touching seats.

Raw dogging the seat. Unless it’s nasty. Then you just clean it or find another stall.

I have a portable toilet in my truck but I always use the sheets lol..I’m a very clean person..I usually sanitize the stall before I use it..I’ll get soapy wet paper towels..wipe the floor and then wipe the seat off and then put a paper sheet over it lol

I have one too and it's the best! Amazon came thru!! And I'm a woman so it really comes in handy as we can't really do piss jugs lol

Most truck drivers are overweight we have to maneuver our whole body in strange directions just to be able to reach our ass to wipe. I tried using those paper things once I wiped a couple times the paper moved and I had more to poop long story short poop got all over the cheeks and berries it was way worse than not using the paper 🤣

There's a truck stop in Arizona with a bidet in the shower... It was pretty awesome
supernova-juice@reddit
Baby wipes. You can't flush them, so what you do is use dry tp for the worst of it and then the baby wipes for the grand finale. Trust me.

I aspire to one day have your confidence.

More power to you for sharing this 👀

Beats the potty potty I just saw at Donners Pass where someone shit all over the floor. Wish I could attach a pic. We're truly animals
Feeling-Bowl-9533@reddit
I, for one, am glad you can’t
Existing_Inside5200@reddit
It was by far the worst porta potty I've ever seen. I showed the pic to my 4 & 6 yr old grandkids and even they asked why grown ups would poop on the ground. If they get it, why don't we?!
easymachtdas@reddit
oh come on, tell him about imgur!
tarkanneo@reddit
Because nothing good comes out of that arse!
Emergency-Bus-998@reddit
In the very rare time I use a public toilet, I clean the whole area with Spray Nine. I rather take a shit on a spread out garbage bag in my truck.
thxby@reddit
Just poop standing up...
warwgn@reddit
Ain’t nobody got time for that. I gotta shit, and I’m not going to waste my time being all dainty. If the seat is wet, I’ll move on to the next stall.
Impressive-Menu8966@reddit
Generally I'll just give the seat a lick first. If it tastes funny then I'll put down some toilet paper or a shield.
MostOriginalNameEver@reddit
Never raw ass a public toilet
TwoToadsKick@reddit
I usually won't shit somewhere that's disgusting.
TaperingRanger9@reddit
I do. But I honestly refuse to shit anywhere that isn't clean. If I walk into a bathroom and it's like how you described I just leave and hold it until I get somewhere cleaner.
supernova-juice@reddit
Honestly after being on this sub for this long, I'm starting to wonder how any of you even get laid.
RebelTvshka@reddit
Just carry sanitizing wipes in your bag, also flushable wipes, and sanitizer for your hands. The public is filthy, you can just see it more in a truckstop.
AroundGoesThe18@reddit
I have enough hair on my ass that there's no skin making contact with the seat.
firstblush73@reddit
Your shoes leave the restroom with more bacteria than a toilet seat will ever carry ... y'all sanitize your shoes before you get back in the truck?!
Trucking is grimy work. Third world countries would recognize us as their "people" at this point. 😂
Chuuby_Gringo@reddit
Because putting paper down doesn't do anything. Whatever is on there just soaks through the .07mm paper.
Big wad of paper, give the seat a wipe, cross your fingers, abs shit.
THExPILLOx@reddit
I don't trust the paper to be cleaner than the seat. Idk how quickly they go through that paper, so for all I know there could be 10,000 shits worth of particulate caught on it from the air.
And to be real, skin is the thing our bodies developed to protect us
EnolaNek@reddit
Same. I used to always put down TP first, but I learned that the bare plastic toilet seat is actually usually closer to sterile than the TP I was putting down. However…if there is a visible stain and I have no other choice, I’m putting TP down.
tc6x6@reddit
Because toilet paper is porous and provides literally ZERO protetion from germs.
Independent-Fun8926@reddit
I wipe the seat with TP. Half the time there isn’t seat liners anyway
Junior-Credit2685@reddit
LYSOL WIPES, y’all
RuneScape420Homie@reddit
I always bare ass sit down on the seat. I am not afraid of germs. Germs are afraid of me.
LuisChoriz@reddit
I have 2 soap bar containers-one for disinfectant wipes and the other for butt wipes. Makes life easier especially if you end up in a stall that's missing either or both.
HighwayStar71@reddit
Bring your own Lysol and TP. Then you don't have to worry about it. They don't clean it after every use and, when they do, are you going to trust some truck stop employee to do a proper cleaning and disinfecting?
Think about all the water bottle using, bare-hand ass-wipers that might have used it before you that were touching the seat. No thanks.
bicyclewhoa17@reddit
Before i got into trucking i never put anything down. Then the rashes started using high trafficked toilets. You have to realize all these muslim drivers who use water bottles to clean their ass leave fungus, stds and saturated human waste product on the toilet seats. Rashes went away when i seperated my body from the surfaces
Mechanik_J@reddit
I do.
Gaiiden@reddit
I always have a wet wipe in a plastic bag I can pocket and bring in with me. But really it’s just an ick factor. Unless your ass is cut up for some reason you’re not in any serious danger of catching something off a toilet seat unless you don’t wash your hands properly afterwards
