Toilet Issues

This is one of my biggest pet peeves and I just cannot HANDLE it anymore, and the worst part is that Im going to have to handle it all my life! I'm absolutely exploding now with people's lack of basic hygiene an civic sense, not to mention courtesy!

I just for the life of me cannot fathom why on earth a toilet seat in a WOMEN'S bathroom (in a movie cinema or at an airport, for instance) has to be wet! What on earth are women doing that the back, and even the front has to have annoying yellow or otherwise droplets on it??? Women should ideally be sitting and peeing (unless every sixth person is experimenting with standing up to see why gravity shouldnt take its toll on the flow)? So then what's the problem? Are they standing up too quickly?

Even if one uses water in a tumbler or a spray instead of toilet paper to clean oneself, if one is reasonably careful, how on earth can one possibly wet the English toilet seat (Ok OK, I can see how the front would get a bit wet) - but even so, why on earth cant they clean it up? If toilet paper is available, it can be used to clean more than one thing, you know. If its not, use your hanky! (OK, I know many of you will be grossed out, but you really shouldnt be grossed out by your own bodily fluids - i'm sure there's only a couple of degrees of different between urine and sweat). Its so disgusting to step into a toilet and be obliged to make the choice of either sitting on a wet seat or squatting, hovering uncomfortably, afraid of the strain on one's quadriceps, above it.

Seriously, even in Indian toilets, its gross to step into a puddle of god knows what liquid, water seeping in your jeans or salwar or heavin forbid, sari, squatting and holding assorted articles of clothing above the spillage.

The point is - there should be no reason to make this choice! A clean, dry toilet should be a fundamental right for all! Excretion of bodily fluids is one of the few small pleasures in life that is actually useful - serving to detoxify the body - and everyone should have the right to carry on this activity in zen-like peace, in hygienic, if not aesthetic, surroundings. This only shows a lack of respect of one's own body, which is frankly, no different from anyone else's.

Toilet hygiene should be a criiterion for admission into nursery schools. Everyone should be taught that. Marks should be given to classrooms maintaining the cleanest toilet. Seminars in hygiene should be given at workplaces - you'll be surprised how little we seem to know of ANY activity that is carried on in private, even this most base human need of SHITTING!

Also, I think women need more toilets than men in crowded public places such as cinema halls. They take longer, have extra organs all pressing against their bladder causing more frequent urges, and are obliged to make their young offspring pee. Alternatively, movie should restart minutes later after the intermission.

Grrrrr. Going for a movie again. Will anticipate dampness.
