Can We All Just Sit Down?!

As most of my friends know, I have many pet peeves. For example, I can't stand the sound of an empty potato chip bag being crumpled in someone's hands. I actually snatched an empty bag out of a child's hands when his mother wasn't looking because he kept playing with it...sorry, it just gives me chills up my spine. When I load up my car after shopping at the grocery store, no matter how hot it is outside, I never roll the windows down for fear of hearing my plastic shopping bags ruffling in the wind. The sight of any honeycomb pattern makes me immediately nauseous and I really dislike people who use too much sarcasm in their daily lives.
But one of my biggest pet peeves is a messy toilet seat in the public bathroom.

I'm guessing this is mostly an issue for the woman's bathroom since I have no idea what goes on in the men's bathroom (That's my story and I'm sticking to it!) Men, do you have a problem similar to this in your restrooms, or is this a female thing? Do share.

 
When I was a kid, I don't remember a wet toilet seat being an issue. We went to the bathroom, sat down, did our business, and left. Ladies, when did we all start hovering above the toilet seat to pee and why? Many experts have done scientific studies on the dirtiest parts of a public restroom and they have proven over and over again that the dirtiest place is the floor, followed by the sanitary napkin receptacle. Scientist have told us that we won't catch germs from the back of our thighs and that the toilet seat is sometimes one of the cleanest places in the bathroom, so why do we still do this???

The only thing you accomplish by hovering over the seat is strengthening your thigh muscles (good for you) and creating a mess for the next person (bad for us). Then the next person has to go in and hover because you did it and so on and so on. But what would happen if we all just, wait for it....... SAT DOWN?!! Think of what a perfect world it would be where all of the toilet seats are dry and clean for the next person. I aim to start a revolution, no, a REVOLT against the culture of hovering!! I would like you all to join me in my fight and maybe,  just maybe, we can all take a seat and not have to sit in someones DNA that they left behind.

 

However, if you STILL insist on being a rebel without a cause (a.k.a. a "jerk") and hovering above the toilet seat like a human UFO, please, for the love of god....PLEASE, clean up after yourselves. Because we all know your aim isn't that good!
