A visit to the ladies room

[Duck on Wheels]

And it's no wonder there're no seat covers in the dispenser, because the automatic flusher always flushes as you're turning around after putting a seat cover down.

My daughter was absolutely terrified of the automatic flush. This created a LOT of tension at airports with lots of jumping up in the air mid-urination. I finally figured out the trick: I put my hand directly over the eye and then she can pee in peace. It won't flush until I remove my hand.

Ugh, and that lovely mist it sprays on you while flushing.....

LOL @ "The Stance"

We have coined the phrase "upholstering or hovering"

I always "hovered"... always in a rush, I wanted to be in and out asap... however, pregnancy meant I became too heavy to successfully "hover" so I became a diligent "upholsterer", carefully laying TP on the seat...

Seriously.
For all those times you go to an outdoor venue and theres pee (or worse) all over the seat, the floor, etc etc forever and ever amen...

HANDY. then just carry a little bottle of water/alcohol (or everclear/151 if it's one of THOSE venues) and rinse after use. Wipe dry. Stash in a plastic baggie. Done.

...but practice first.

Have you used this item? I am intrigued.

The new gym at the school I work/study at just added the autoflush toilets and even if you flinch, they flush! So they end up flushing about 10 times before your done doing your business. And they're very random too and can be quite surprising

There is also this method using only fingers. The learning curve is pretty steep. I haven't mastered it, but I haven't practiced all that much. Squatting in the woods seems quite natural to me, nothing to clean up, and hands stay clean if you don't wipe. Could be useful in public restrooms, though.

Ok, now I'm going to gross everybody out. I sit down on the seat (hey, somebody has to provide those germs), don't know if it's because my mother never told me not to or I just don't know any better I don't think I could do "the stance" to save my life, I'd probably end up with a mighty cramp in both legs, unable to ever straighten up again.

But maybe Norwegian restrooms just aren't that awful? No wet seats, and rarely out of paper.

I was on a business call with a client once and I really had to pee - so i thought, 'what the hell he'll never know, I'll pee quietly. Course then I completely forgot about that stupid automatic flush thing - DOPE!

I learned to do this, using the instructions on this website, in the shower.
but, I have not yet used it in a public restroom.
