Lets say you have a typical bathroom with the big handicapped stall that everyone likes, and the smaller cramped stalls.

If all 3 are empty, its a no brainer. Pick the big handicapped stall at the end.

What do you do if you walk into the bathroom as someone is coming out of the stall to go wash their hands? Do you take the now unoccupied stall, even though the guy is standing there and you know he just took a huge shit on that toilet? Or do you choose one of the smaller, less comfortable stalls because that is gross?

I usually leave the handicapped stall open. I fear that the first time I use one, there is going to be someone in a wheelchair waiting for me on the other side.

I don't like sloppy seconds. small one.

while i like the bigger handicapped stall i often feel like you get more privacy in the smaller stalls. People can actually see your feet in the small stalls. In the handicapped stall the toilet is usually in the back corner and it's harder to tell when it is occupied. You get a lot of stall door handle jigglers and guys trying to peer through the crack to see in. People see the feet in the small stall and leave you alone.

I can't believe this is even a discussion. NEVER use a stall that someone just shat in. That's 101. Everyone who has ever defecated in a public setting knows this, and the fact that you're even entertaining the thought of doing otherwise sickens me.

When a grown man shits, much more than just poop is left behind. Pubes, crack sweat, ball lint, nut crust, ass dust, etc...he leaves a whole petri dish of grossness in his wake. To voluntarily sit in that fecal brew is asinine.

this, plus I read or heard somewhere that the handicapped stall is the most used and has the most germs, whereas the stall nearest the door is less used/less germs

So what do you do if you aren't sure which stall they came from, but when you sit down its warm?

Slave Famous hit the nail on the head.

Why the hell would you use the warm seat? You're a freak if you do.

1/25/2012 5:06:01 PM

i'd rather sit on the toilet just sat on. now i know all the pee etc is on his bum and not mine

1/25/2012 5:07:21 PM

Fuck a warm toilet seat. I don't want another dudes body heat warming my ass up.

1/25/2012 5:07:59 PM

^^^ what if it's cold in the bathroom?

1/25/2012 6:14:12 PM

on a semi-related note, there are only 2 urinals in the mens room on my floor, a midget one, and a normal one. I sometimes see people go for the midget one when the normal one is available, is it just me or is that crazy?

Would you rather get splashback on your crotch or below your knees? Come on, now.

I don't seek out the warm seat, but if you don't see what stall they came from, you have a pretty good chance of picking the same one.

Also, ^ brings up a good point. Do you break the rules on the "occupy order" of the stalls, just to avoid one someone just came out of?

If there are 3 stalls, and when you walk in the closest is occupied, the middle is empty, and the guy is coming out of the far one. Do you pick the middle one and violate the rules, or do you go with the far one and deal with the warm seat?

1/25/2012 7:11:30 PM

rules are much less stringent if there are partitions between stalls

in said scenario, i'd take the middle one

1/25/2012 7:17:38 PM

What if the smaller, previously unoccupied stall has skidmarks on the inside of the bowl from someone else's dookie? Then should you opt for the other stall with the warm seat?

1/25/2012 8:45:55 PM

I always back out and re-choose in a skidmark type situation.
