IT'S enough to make you wonder why they insist on putting the seat down.
A new survey shows 22 per cent of professional Australian women crouch or squat over the toilets in their workplaces rather than risk contact with the seats. And another 14 per cent - making more than a third of women overall - wipe the seat first, then crouch over the seat just to be safe.
The survey, conducted by Initial Healthcare, gathered the responses of 200 women working in advertising agencies, publishing, finance, pharmaceutical and general business in Australia last month.
Forty-six per cent of respondents wiped down the seat with toilet paper if they thought the seat appeared dirty, while 18 per cent simply refused to use their work toilets if they felt they were unclean.
Only five per cent said their offices provided a bactericide spray or wipe to ensure hygiene.
Eighty per cent of women wanted to have a sanitary bin that opened without the need to touch it.
"The survey reminds us of how important clean facilities are to staff in any office, not to mention clients who may visit," Initial Healthcare said in a statement.
Worst.
Album art.
Ever.
Aussie Dasher,
Your countrywomen must be very spry to do some of these things!
And I bet 98% of them use their feet to flush. I sure do!
You never know where a toilet seat has been.
Not to worry.
Okay - peeling my clothes off to "pee" because I'm so busy. Life at work is hell. Okay I still love my job.
Lordy. Ha! You're on a roll! (no pun intended)
LOL me too, I always wonder if people looking under thought I was a man cause I've turned toward the toilet and cocked up my leg to flush.
. Next time, use a good sun block.
Does holding on of your shoes help? I'll have to try that.
Or you can just wear Depends and change when you get home! ;o)
Crouching Matilda?
Alternately titled ... "I never shoulda ate those habeneros."
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was going to ask you about that! ;o)
I prefer baby wipes to toilet yoga, myself...
I don't let my biscuits touch a toilet seat ever, esp. in railroad train station.
